Boundaries And Bridges (Language Contact And Bilingualism [Lcb])

Multidirectional language contact involving more than two languages is little described. However, it probably represents the most common type of contact in the world, where a colonial past, rapid socioeconomic change, and society-wide multilingualism have led to equally dramatic linguistic change. This book presents fascinating cases of multiple contact between highly diverse languages and proposes a framework for comparable studies.
