Contents:
Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- Part I -- Differential impact of colonial languages on written languages -- Contact in World Englishes at the nexus of language and culture -- Far beyond the Caucasus -- Scenarios of Basque Language Contact -- The relevance of origin -- On the morphosyntax of place names vs. common nouns in pidgins and creoles -- Places, manners, and the areal phonology of Europe -- Travellers in time and space -- Part II -- The city as multilingual utopia -- Fluid registers and fixed language concepts in postcolonial spaces -- Prolegomena to a study of code-switching in Togo and its metapragmatic functions -- Index of Authors -- Index of Languages, Language Families, and Linguistic Areas -- Index of Subjects
Summary: The contributions in the edited volume deal with different aspects of language contact which were hitherto not or not sufficiently considered in linguistic research. The impact of the colonial languages Polish and German on the structures of the written varieties of Latvian is surveyed and compared. The opposite case – the impact of indigenous languages of Nigeria and Ghana on the colonial language English – is scrutinized from the perspective of the nexus of language and culture. Language contact in a diasporic context is examined in the case study on Jordanian Chechen. The effects of language contact on the lexicon and grammar of Basque are analyzed. In the in-depth study on Maltese adpositions, the influence of the contact language Italian is a central theme. The morphosyntax of place names is analyzed for the contact languages which typically arise in colonial contexts – Pidgins and Creoles. In the typological study dealing with areal phonology, languages of Europe are investigated revealing that the role of language contact is crucial for the distribution of phonological phenomena. The novel nature and new strands of research in the contributions call for further investigations and form a new component in language-contact theory.
