This volume critically exposes problems in present language contact
analysis and uses empirical findings to provide answers to the
following questions. What can we learn from the study of language
contact for our knowledge of languages, their dynamics and their
functions (systemic elaborations, language practices, semiotic
developments)? How should linguistic theory incorporate the
empirical findings of language contact studies, and how could these
alter underlying postulates of existing models (choice of analysis
and epistemic framework)? Which role has language contact been
playing in the history of linguistic research and academic life?
And how has this idea influenced individual researchers and their
approaches?
