Abstract:

The contributors to this collection address issues of definition and 
theory of linguistic areas, analyze the process of convergence, and 
introduce methods to assess the impact of language contact across 
geographical zones. New case studies are introduced which extend the 
corpus of areas described so far. They are accompanied by discussions that 
revisit some of the more well-established linguistic areas.
