Synopsis

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.
