Abstract:

Language contact - the linguistic and social outcomes of two or more languages
coming into contact with each other - has been pervasive in human history.
However, where histories of language contact are comparable, experiences of
migrant populations have been only similar, not identical. Given this, how
does language contact work? With contributions from an international team of
scholars, this Handbook - the first in a two-volume set - delves into this
question from multiple perspectives and provides state-of-the-art research on
population movement and language contact and change. It begins with an
overview of how language contact as a research area has evolved since the late
19th century. The chapters then cover various processes and theoretical issues
associated with population movement and language contact worldwide. It is
essential reading for anybody interested in the dynamics of social
interactions in diverse contact settings and how the changing ecologies
influence the linguistic outcomes.
