This volume contains a selection of papers which have been revised
and extended for publication from two working groups held at
conferences at Galway (1992) and Goteborg (1993) which celebrated
the quincentenary of Columbus' discovery of America in 1492. The
pre-Columbian period of language contact is covered by articles on
Old Norse in the Faroes, Scotland and Ireland, the Shetland dialect
and Norn, and placenames in Iceland and Greenland. The articles on
the post-Columbian period are wide-ranging and cover, in the
Scandinavian context, the Scandinavian emigration, American
Swedish, American Finnish, Swedish-Spanish and various aspects of
Norwegian in America and also in Spitzbergen; in the British
colonial context, English dialects in New England, Scottish Gaelic
in Nova Scotia and Scots in North America (Maryland, the
Appalachians and Virginia); in the context of the later continental
mass emigration, American Dutch, Texas German, Croatian and
Italian. Two papers deal with reverse emigration, that of Sicilian
and Calabrian dialects, and the special case of Krio in Sierra
Leone."
