Abstract:
Texts of the past were often not monolingual but were produced by and for
people with bi- or multilingual repertoires; the communicative practices
witnessed in them therefore reflect ongoing and earlier language contact
situations. However, textbooks and earlier research tend to display a
monolingual bias. This collected volume on multilingual practices in
historical materials, including code-switching, highlights the importance of a
multilingual approach. The authors explore multilingualism in hitherto
neglected genres, periods and areas, introduce new methods of locating and
analysing multiple languages in various sources, and review terminology,
theories and tools. The studies also revisit some of the issues already
introduced in previous research, such as Latin interacting with European
vernaculars and the complex relationship between code-switching and lexical
borrowing. Collectively, the contributors show that multilingual practices
share many of the same features regardless of time and place, and that one way
or the other, all historical texts are multilingual. This book takes the next
step in historical multilingualism studies by establishing the relevance of
the multilingual approach to understanding language history.
