Abstract:

Is Africa a linguistic area (Heine & Leyew 2008)? The present volume 
consists of sixteen papers highlighting the linguistic geography of Africa, 
covering, in particular, southern Africa with its Khoisan languages. A wide range 
of phenomena are discussed to give an overview of the pattern of social, 
cultural, and linguistic interaction that characterizes Africa's linguistic 
geography. Most contributors to the volume discuss language contact and areal 
diffusion in Africa, although some demonstrate, with examples from non-African 
linguistic data, including Amazonian and European languages, how language 
contact may lead to structural convergence. Others investigate contact 
phenomena in social-cultural behavior. The volume makes a large contribution 
toward bringing generalized theory to data-oriented discussions. It is intended to 
stimulate further research on contact phenomena in Africa. For 
sale in all countries except Japan. For customers in Japan: please contact
