Migration as a process has achieved increasing attention in the
context of nation-states and globalisation. In linguistics the
field of language contact is particularly associated with this
phenomenon. This book investigates the connection between language
usage, migration, space, in particular urban space, and the
constitution of cultural identity. Two corpora of Andean migrants'
Spanish conversations in Lima and in Madrid are analysed. The
resulting comparative analysis provides the material for
considerations on language contact, code copying, discourse
strategies etc. Throughout the book a new theoretical approach
based on linguistic ecology is used. It includes the concept of a
general expanded feature pool, which is the basis for language use
and identity constitution for migrants.
