This volume provides new insights into various issues on prosody in
contact situations, contact referring here to the L2 acquisition
process as well as to situations where two language systems may
co-exist. A wide array of phenomena are dealt with (prosodic
description of linguistic systems in contact situations, analysis
of prosodic changes, language development processes, etc.), and the
results obtained may give an indication of what is more or less
stable in phonological and prosodic systems. In addition, the
selected papers clearly show how languages may have influenced or
may have been influenced by other language varieties (in
multilingual situations where different languages are in constant
contact with one another, but also in the process of L2
acquisition). Unlike previous volumes on related topics, which
focus in general either on L2 acquisition or on the description and
analyses of different varieties of a given language, this volume
considers both topics in parallel, allowing comparison and
discussion of the results, which may shed new light on more
far-reaching theoretical questions such as the role of markedness
in prosody and the causes of prosodic changes.
Parenthesis has recently seen a considerable surge in interest.
This volume presents the - often contrasting - theoretical
positions on parenthetical verbs and examines them from different
analytical perspectives. It covers parenthetical verbs in English
as well as in several other languages. Methodologically, the volume
is marked by its empirical orientation: Most contributions are
based on data from experiments or corpora.
