Since the 1980s, bilingualism has become one of the main themes of
sociolinguistics - but there are as yet few large-scale treatments
of the subject specific to the ancient world. This book is the
first work to deal systematically with bilingualism during a period
of antiquity (the Roman period, down to about the fourth century
AD) in the light of sociolinguistic discussions of bilingual
issues. The general theme of the work is the nature of the contact
between Latin and numerous other languages spoken in the Roman
world. Among the many issues discussed three are prominent:
code-switching (the practice of switching between two languages in
the course of a single utterance) and its motivation, language
contact as a cause of change in one or both of the languages in
contact, and the part played by language choice and language
switching in the establishment of personal and group identities.
