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.
