Abstract:

Historical contact linguistics have a long tradition in the
comparative linguistic science. As past human landscapes become
increasingly illuminated through new methods and data from ancient
genetics and archaeology, it is time to integrate the wealth of
information from historical linguistics in a consistent manner. The
book introduces the science of historical contact linguistics through
the works of a new generation of scholars with rich perspectives from
across the world. Through the exploration of several case studies, the
volume offers both theoretical and methodological discussion and
proposes a framework for the continued exploration of the dynamics of
human interaction beyond recorded history.

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics
