Abstract:

The book deals in detail with previously understudied language contact
settings in the Balkans (South East Europe) that present a continuum between
ethnic and linguistic separation and symbiosis among groups of people. The
studies in this volume achieve several aims: they critically assess the Balkan
Sprachbund theory; they analyse general contact theories against the
background of new, original, representative field and historical Greek,
Albanian, Romance, Slavic and Judesmo data; they employ and contribute to
recent methods of research on linguistic convergence in bilingual societies;
they propose new general assessments of extra- and intralinguistic factors of
Balkanization over the centuries; and they outline prospects for future
research. The factors relevant to contact scenarios and linguistic change in
the Balkans are identified and typologized through models such as those
related to a balanced or unbalanced (socio)linguistic situation.
