The contributions of the present volume discuss structural complexity from the perspective of language variation and change. Particular attention is paid to the hypothesis that languages and varieties spoken by small, isolated communities tend to display greater complexity than others. 410 0$aLinguae & litterae ;$vVolume 57. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xVariation 610 $aGrammatical Structure. 610 $aLanguage Change. 610 $aLanguage typology. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xVariation. 676 $a417.7 702 $aBaechler$b Raffaela 702 $aSeiler$b Guido 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824579403321 996 $aComplexity, isolation, and variation$93990665 997 $aUNINA
