This volume presents and analyzes fresh empirical data from living and/or extinct Mesoamerican languages (from the Mayan, Uto-Aztecan, Totonac-Tepehuan and Otomanguean groups), neighboring non-Mesoamerican languages (Apachean, Arawakan, Andean languages), as well as Spanish. Language-contact effects in these diverse languages and language groups are typically analyzed by different subfields of linguistics that do not necessarily interact with one another. It is hoped that this volume, which contains works from different scholarly traditions that represent a variety of approaches to the study of language contact, will contribute to the lessening of this compartmentalization. The volume is relevant to researchers of language contact and contact-induced change and to anyone interested both in the historical development and present features of indigenous languages of the Americas and Latin American Spanish.Studies in language companion series ;185.Languages in contactCentral AmericaLinguistic changeCentral AmericaIndians of Central AmericaLanguagesCentral AmericaLanguagesLanguages in contactLinguistic changeIndians of Central AmericaLanguages.409.72Dakin KarenParodi ClaudiaOperstein NatalieMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792928103321Language contact and change in Mesoamerica and beyond3820146UNINA
