Abstract:

"Variation Rolls the Dice: A worldwide collage in honour of Salikoko S.
Mufwene" aims to celebrate Mufwene’s ground-breaking contribution to
linguistics in the past four decades. The title also encapsulates his approach
to language as both systemic and socio-cultural practices, and the role of
variation in determining particular evolutionary trajectories in specific
linguistic ecologies. The book therefore focuses on variation within and
across languages, within and across speakers, and how this fundamental aspect
of human behavior can affect language structure in time and space. Mufwene has
been instrumental in putting creole languages on the map of General
Linguistics and connecting their analysis to issues of language acquisition,
multilingualism, language contact, language evolution, and language typology.
Thanks to the diversity of topics and the wide-ranging theoretical persuasions
of the contributors, this volume aims at a large readership including both
scholars and advanced students interested in cutting-edge research in the
aforementioned domains.
