It is an authoritative reference work exploring the major issues in the field of language contact: the study of how language changes when speakers of distinct speech varieties interact.

It examines language contact in societies which have significant immigration populations, and includes a fascinating cross-section of case studies drawing on languages across the world. It is accessibly structured into sections exploring the place of contact studies within linguistics as a whole; the value of contact studies for research into language change; and, language contact in the context of work on language and society. It explores a broad range of topics, making it an excellent resource for both faculty and students across a variety of fields within linguistics."
