Abstract:

'Language Contact in Africa and the African Diaspora in the Americas' brings
together the original research of nineteen leading scholars on language
contact and pidgin/creole genesis. In recent decades, increasing attention has
been paid to the role of historical, cultural and demographic factors in
language contact situations. John Victor Singler’s body of work, a model of
what such a research paradigm should look like, strikes a careful balance
between sociohistorical and linguistic analysis. The case studies in this
volume present investigations into the sociohistorical matrix of language
contact and critical insights into the sociolinguistic consequences of
language contact within Africa and the African Diaspora. Additionally, they
contribute to ongoing debates about pidgin/creole genesis and language contact
by examining and comparing analyses and linguistic outcomes of particular
sociohistorical and cultural contexts, and considering less-studied factors
such as speaker agency and identity in the emergence, nativization, and
stabilization of contact varieties.
