Abstract:

Language-contact phenomena in Mesoamerica and adjacent regions present an
exciting field for research that has the potential to significantly contribute
to our understanding of language contact and the role that it plays in
language change. This volume presents and analyzes fresh empirical data from
living and/or extinct Mesoamerican languages (from the Mayan, Uto-Aztecan,
Totonac-Tepehuan and Otomanguean groups), neighboring non-Mesoamerican
languages (Apachean, Arawakan, Andean languages), as well as Spanish.
Language-contact effects in these diverse languages and language groups are
typically analyzed by different subfields of linguistics that do not
necessarily interact with one another. It is hoped that this volume, which
contains works from different scholarly traditions that represent a variety of
approaches to the study of language contact, will contribute to the lessening
of this compartmentalization. The volume is relevant to researchers of
language contact and contact-induced change and to anyone interested both in
the historical development and present features of indigenous languages of the
Americas and Latin American Spanish.
