However, it probably represents the most common type of contact in the world, where colonization, rapid socioeconomic and demographic change, and society-wide multilingualism have led to dramatic linguistic change. This book presents fascinating cases of multidirectional contact and convergence between highly diverse languages in an emerging linguistic area in Suriname and the Guianas and proposes a framework for comparable studies.Language contact and bilingualism ;Volume 14.BilingualismBilingualism.Creoles.Language Change.Language Contact.Bilingualism.404.2Muysken Pieter C.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtYakpo Kofiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910653986603321Boundaries and bridges1906288UNINA
