Contributions from an international team of experts revisit and
update the concept of linguistic ecology in order to critically
examine current theoretical approaches to language contact.
Language is understood as a part of complex
socio-historical-cultural systems, and interaction between the
different dimensions and levels of these systems is considered to
be essential for specific language forms. This book presents a
uniform, abstract model of linguistic ecology based on, among other
things, two concepts of Edmund Husserl's philosophy (parts and
wholes, and foundation). It considers the individual speaker in the
specific communication situation to be the essential heuristic
basis of linguistic analysis. The chapters present and employ a
new, transparent and accessible contact linguistic vocabulary to
aid reader comprehension, and explore a wide range of language
contact situations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin
America, Asia and the Pacific. This book will be fascinating
reading for students and researchers across contact linguistics and
cultural studies.
