Abstract:

Whose name is hidden behind the anonymity of the key publication on
Mediterranean Lingua Franca? What linguistic reality does the label 'Lingua
Franca' conceal? These and related questions are explored in this new book on
an enduringly important topic. The book presents a typologically informed
analysis of Mediterranean Lingua Franca, as documented in the Dictionnaire de
la langue franque ou petit mauresque, which provides an important historical
snapshot of contact-induced language change. Based on a close study of the
Dictionnaire in its historical and linguistic context, the book proposes
hypotheses concerning its models, authorship and publication history, and
examines the place of the Dictionnaire's Lingua Franca in the structural
typological space between Romance languages, on the one hand, and pidgins, on
the other. It refines our understanding of the typology of contact outcomes
while at the same time opening unexpected new avenues for both linguistic and
historical research.
