Abstract:

Multidirectional language contact involving more than two languages is little
described. However, it probably represents the most common type of contact in
the world, where colonization, rapid socioeconomic and demographic change, and
society-wide multilingualism have led to dramatic linguistic change. This book
presents fascinating cases of multidirectional contact and convergence between
highly diverse languages in an emerging linguistic area in Suriname and the
Guianas and proposes a framework for comparable studies.
