Abstract:

The former Soviet Union (USSR) provides the ideal territory for studying
language contact between one and the same dominant language (Russian) and a
wide range of genealogically and typologically diverse languages with varying
histories of language contact. This is the first book that bundles different
case studies and systematically investigates the impact of Russian at all
linguistic levels, from the lexicon to the domains of grammar to discourse,
and with varying types of outcomes such as relatively rapid language shift,
structural changes in a relatively stable contact situation, pidginization and
super variability at the post-pidgin stage. The volume appeals to linguists
studying language contact and contact-induced language change from a broad
range of perspectives, who want to gain insight into how one of the largest
languages in the world influences other smaller languages, but also experts of
mostly minority languages in the sphere of the former Soviet Union.
