Language contact - the linguistic and social outcomes of two or
more languages coming into contact with each other - has been
pervasive in human history. Whether or not we are aware of it, we
as humans always deal with language contact. Bringing together
contributions from an international team of scholars, this
two-volume Handbook represents the state-of-the-art in the field of
language contact. The first volume focuses on population movement
and language change, and the second volume looks at multilingualism
and population structure. Each of the two volumes start with an
introduction outlining the history of the research in the field.
They are then organised into thematic parts, and cover the
processes, theoretical issues and outcomes involved in a range of
language contact situations worldwide. Easy-to-read yet
wide-ranging in scope, the Handbook is essential reading for
anybody interested in how people behave linguistically in
multilingual or multilectal settings.
