Over time, two perspectives on dialect contact have emerged: the impact of changes to individual speakers and of changes to a community of speakers. In Dialect Contact, a set of international contributors from both perspectives examines what happens when speakers of one language variety interact with speakers of another language variety, uncovering how each perspective can contribute to the other. Examining language contact across five continents and multiple languages, the research presented validates and expands existing linguistic understanding. The contributors share the dynamics that are unique to particular groups of speakers and, as a whole, it highlights the importance of contact dynamics in larger linguistic studies. This book will benefit sociolinguistics scholars and students interested in dialect contact and shows the importance of disentangling the effects of dialect contact from data sets in order to consider the specific communities and the individuals being studied.

Hardback. Etat : New. New research expands the linguistic understanding of dialect contact in specific communities and individualsDialect contact occurs whenever speakers of mutually intelligible language varieties interact. Many linguists are interested in the outcome of such contact-how it leads people and languages to vary and change, and what such patterns can reveal about language, mind, and society. Dialect contact can thus be approached as an individual-level or a community-level phenomenon; a cognitive process or a social one.In Dialect Contact, international contributors present studies touching on both perspectives, representing languages and varieties spanning five continents. The chapters shed light on the many factors influencing dialect change and highlight the importance of considering the contact dynamics that are specific to individual people and communities.This book will benefit sociolinguistics scholars and students interested in the outcomes of dialect contact, the implications of contact for understanding language change, and the various methods used to investigate contact effects in individuals and communities.
