Contact, Structure, and Change addresses the classic problem of how and why
languages change over time through the lens of two uniquely productive and
challenging perspectives: the study of language contact and the study of
Indigenous American languages. Each chapter in the volume draws from a
distinct theoretical positioning, ranging from documentation and description,
to theoretical syntax, to creole languages and sociolinguistics. This volume
acts as a Festschrift honoring Sarah G. Thomason, a long-time professor at the
University of Michigan, whose career spans the disciplines of historical
linguistics, contact linguistics, and Native American studies. This
conversation among distinguished scholars who have been influenced by Thomason
extends and in some cases refracts the questions her work addresses through a
collection of studies that speak to the enduring puzzles of language change.
