[Lingtyp] (A)symmetry of linguistic convergence in different domains

[Nicholas Evans]

Hi Ian
I think it's also good to remember that contact can produce divergence.
Also: google Malcolm Ross and 'metatypy' for some interesting discussions on where convergence does and does not occur

I acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as custodians of the land on which I work, and pay my respects to their elders, past and present. Their custodianship has never been ceded.

Dear typologists,

I would appreciate it if you can suggest literature that can answer my following question:
When linguistic convergence happens due to contact, does it necessarily happen in every domain? For example, when two languages develop phonological similarity due to contact, do they also develop syntactic similarity, lexical similarity, etc.? Or is it possible for two languages to converge in one domain but not in another domain?

>From Hong Kong,
Ian
