Description

Explore the evolution of language through Routledge's Contact Languages, a major work within the Critical Concepts in Linguistics series. This text examines how language contact has shaped human communication, from ancient empires and colonial expansion to the complexities of our modern globalized world. This volume bridges the gap between traditional pidgin and creole studies and the broader, expanding field of contact linguistics. It covers a wide range of essential phenomena, including adult second-language acquisition, bilingualism, and bilingual mixed languages. Readers will gain a deep understanding of language shift, partially restructured languages, and language attrition. By bringing together significant contributions, this book provides a comprehensive look at how different linguistic systems interact and change over time.
