Abstract:

This volume provides a collection of research reports on multilingualism and
language contact ranging from Romance, to Germanic, Greco and Slavic languages
in situations of contact and diaspora. Most of the contributions are
empirically-oriented studies presenting first-hand data based on original
fieldwork, and a few focus directly on the methodological issues in such
research. Owing to the multifaceted nature of contact and diaspora phenomena
(e.g. the intrinsic transnational essence of contact and diaspora, and the
associated interplay between majority and minoritized languages and
multilingual practices in different contact settings, contact-induced language
change, and issues relating to convergence) the disciplinary scope is broad,
and includes ethnography, qualitative and quantitative sociolinguistics,
formal linguistics, descriptive linguistics, contact linguistics, historical
linguistics, and language acquisition. Case studies are drawn from
Italo-Romance varieties in the Americas, Spanish-Nahuatl contact, Castellano
Andino, Greko/Griko in Southern Italy, Yiddish in Anglophone communities,
Frisian in the Netherlands, Wymysiöryś in Poland, Sorbian in Germany, and
Pomeranian and Zeelandic Flemish in Brazil.
