Book Synopsis Language Contact, Creolization, and Genetic Linguistics by : Sarah Grey Thomason

Book excerpt: Ten years of research back up the bold new theory advanced by authors Thomason and Kaufman, who rescue the study of contact-induced language change from the neglect it has suffered in recent decades. The authors establish an important new framework for the historical analysis of all degrees of contact-induced language change.
