Abstract:

This book brings together papers that discuss social and structural aspects of
language contact and language change.

Several papers look at the relevance of historical documents to determine the
linguistic nature of early contact varieties, while others investigate the
specific processes of contact-induced change that were involved in the
emergence and development of these languages. A third set of papers look at
how new datasets and greater sensitivity to social issues can help to
(re)assess persistent theoretical and empirical questions as well as help to
open up new avenues of research. In particular they highlight the
heterogeneity of contemporary language practices and attitudes often obscured
in sociolinguistic research.

The contributions all focus on language variation and change but investigate
it from a variety of disciplinary and empirical perspectives and cover a range
of linguistic contexts.
