This book presents an in-depth fieldwork-based study of the Greek
language spoken by immigrants in Cairns, Far North Queensland,
Australia. The study analyzes language contact-induced changes and
code switching patterns, by integrating perspectives from contact
linguistics and interactional approaches to language use and code
switching. Lexical and pragmatic borrowing, code mixing,
discourse-related and participant-related code switching, and
factors promoting language maintenance are among the topics covered
in the book. The study brings to light original data from a speech
community that has received no attention in the literature and
sheds light on the variation of Greek spoken in diaspora. It will
appeal across disciplines to scholars and students in linguistics,
anthropology, sociology, and migration studies.
