Abstract:
Now Available in Paperback!
While much has been written on dialect formation through contact between
dialects of the same language, the question of what happens when closely
related but linguistically discrete varieties come into contact with each
other has largely been neglected.
Here Robert McColl Millar sets out to redress this imbalance, giving the
reader the opportunity to analyse and consider a variety of different contact
scenarios where the language varieties involved are close relatives and to
explore the question: are the results of contacts of this type different by
their nature from where linguistically distant (or entirely different)
varieties come into contact?
Bringing together the diverse theoretical positions associated with the
production of new dialects as well as those associated with contact between
closely related but discrete language varieties, the volume invites the reader
to evaluate different scholarly views using analysis from a range of different
case-studies, largely derived from the history and diversity of English. It
then goes on to demonstrate the similarities in process and end result between
contact involving discrete but closely related languages and between dialects
of the same language, and in doing so offers a new and insightful approach to
issues of language contact.
