Abstract:

A growing number of language varieties with diverse backgrounds and structural
typologies have been identified as mixed. However, the debate on the status of
many varieties and even on the existence of the category of “mixed languages”
continues still today.

This volume examines the current state of the theoretical and empirical debate
on mixed languages and presents new advances from a diverse set of mixed
language varieties. These cover well-known mixed languages, such as Media
Lengua, Michif, Gurindji Kriol, and Kallawaya, and varieties whose
classification is still debated, such as Reo Rapa, Kumzari, Jopará, and Wutun.
The contributions deal with different aspects of mixed languages, including
descriptive approaches to their current status and origins, theoretical
discussions on the language contact processes in them, and analysis of
different types of language mixing practices. 

This book contributes to the current debate on the existence of the mixed
language category, shedding more light onto this fascinating group of
languages and the contact processes that shape them.
