Description

This edited volume examines the socio-linguistics of contact linguistics across Africa, featuring fifteen chapters from leading scholars including Myers-Scotton, Peter Auer, Daniel Nkemleke and Edmund Bamiro. The book explores language contact phenomena, theories of code-switching and code-mixing, and quantitative analysis methods. It investigates the influences of hip-hop lyrics and writing styles on language use, whilst analysing idiomatic expressions across two languages to identify similarities and patterns. Designed for students and researchers in socio-linguistics, African languages, and contact linguistics, this comprehensive resource addresses how languages interact and evolve in multilingual African contexts.

Key Features

Contact Linguistics in Africa comprises fifteen chapters covering language contact phenomena, code-switching theory and code-mixing analysis.

The volume features contributions from established socio-linguists including Myers-Scotton, Peter Auer, Daniel Nkemleke and Edmund Bamiro.

Quantitative analysis methods are examined throughout the book to understand contact linguistics phenomena in African language communities.

Hip-hop lyrics and writing styles are analysed to demonstrate how popular culture influences contact linguistics and language variation.

Idiomatic expressions across two languages are compared to reveal similarities in how speakers navigate multilingual communication.
