Conceptually, the volume focuses on the relationship of the three
key notions that essentially triggered the inception and subsequent
realization of this project, to wit, language contact,
grammaticalization, and areal grouping. Fully concentrated on the
areal-typological and historical dimensions of Slavic, the volume
offers new insights into a number of theoretical issues, including
language contact, grammaticalization, mechanisms of borrowing, the
relationship between areal, genetic, and typological sampling,
conservative features versus innovation, and socio-linguistic
aspects of linguistic alliances conceived of both synchronically
and diachronically. The volume integrates new approaches towards
the areal-typological profiling of Slavic as a member of several
linguistic areas within Europe, including SAE, the Balkan
Sprachbund and Central European groupings(s) like the Danubian or
Carpathian areas, as well as the Carpathian-Balkan linguistic
macroarea. Some of the chapters focus on structural affinities
between Slavic and other European languages that arose as a result
of either grammatical replication or borrowing. A special emphasis
is placed on contact-induced grammaticalization in Slavic
micro-languages
