"All in all, this is an excellent volume that can be used as an introduction to a larger portion of the field of language contact than one might find in a single volume elsewhere, and which may be used as a main text for upper-level undergraduate courses as well as for graduate courses on language contact." ( Journal of Sociolinguistics , 6 September 2013) "Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." ( Choice, 1 August 2013)

"The most profound and authoritative reference source in the field. Nowhere else can one find to the same degree such a comprehensive and thought provoking presentation of all the major concepts and approaches pertaining to the field. . . The volume is an absolute must-read for any student and researcher in the field of bi-/multilingualism and the adjacent spheres of language contact, language and globalization, second language acquisition, cross-cultural communication, world Englishes, and others." (World Englishes, 10 February 2014)
 
"A multitude of approaches that complement one another by offering the reader new perspectives on a field that is multidisciplinary in nature." (The Linguist List, 7 February 2014)
