This volume serves to illustrate the promising insights to be
gained when cross-fertilizing Cognitive Linguistics and contact
linguistics, which each hold crucial ingredients to an encompassing
study of contact-induced variation and change. Combining the study
of the individual mind with the study of shared context, bridging
research on experience and perspective with research on variation
and change, and tackling the methodological complexities that this
empirical approach to mental categorization entails, help us
determine how the meaningful units that make up language are
categorized and structured in the bi- and multilingual mind and, by
extension, in any human mind. Together, the ten papers in this
volume reveal the complexities of the interaction between usage,
meaning and mind in contact-induced variation and change, which we
hope will inspire future research exploring the possibilities of
the cross-fertilization we have labeled Cognitive Contact
Linguistics.
