SUMMARY

The phenomenon of language contact, and how it affects the structure of languages, has been of great interest to linguists in recent years. This pioneering new study looks at how grammatical forms and structures evolve when speakers of two languages come into contact, and offers interesting new insight into the mechanism that induces people to transfer grammatical structures from one language to another. Engaging and informative, this book will be of great interest to sociolinguists, linguistic anthropologists, and all those working on grammaticalization, language contact, and language change.Heine, Bernd is the author of 'Language Contact And Grammatical Change', published 2005 under ISBN 9780521845748 and ISBN 0521845742.
