Language contact occurs when speakers of different languages
interact and their languages influence one another. Drawing on the
author's own first-hand observations of child and adult
bilingualism, this book combines his original research with an
up-to-date introduction to key concepts, to provide a holistic,
original theory of contact linguistics. Going beyond a descriptive
outline of contact phenomena, it introduces a theory of
contact-induced language change, linking structural change to
motivations in discourse and language processing. Since the first
edition was published, the field has rapidly grown, and this fully
revised edition covers all of the most recent developments, making
it an invaluable resource for researchers and advanced students in
linguistics.
