Providing a contemporary and comprehensive look at the topical area
of areal linguistics, this book looks systematically at different
regions of the world whilst presenting a focussed and informed
overview of the theory behind research into areal linguistics and
language contact. The topicality of areal linguistics is thoroughly
documented by a wealth of case studies from all major regions of
the world and, with chapters from scholars with a broad spectrum of
language expertise, it offers insights into the mechanisms of
external language change. With no book currently like this on the
market, The Cambridge Handbook of Areal Linguistics will be
welcomed by students and scholars working on the history of
language families, documentation and classification, and will help
readers to understand the key area of areal linguistics within a
broader linguistic context.
