Abstract:

Providing a contemporary and comprehensive look at the topical area of areal
linguistics, this book looks systematically at different regions of the world
whilst presenting a focussed and informed overview of the theory behind
research into areal linguistics and language contact. The topicality of areal
linguistics is thoroughly documented by a wealth of case studies from all
major regions of the world and, with chapters from scholars with a broad
spectrum of language expertise, it offers insights into the mechanisms of
external language change. With no book currently like this on the market, The
Cambridge Handbook of Areal Linguistics will be welcomed by students and
scholars working on the history of language families, documentation and
classification, and will help readers to understand the key area of areal
linguistics within a broader linguistic context.
