Pressezitat
"This volume represents a welcome addition to theliterature on language contact, assembling contributions frominternational experts to offer an extensive resource whichencompasses a broad range of language contactresearch." ( The Linguist List , 12 April2014)"Despite its century-long history, contact linguistics hasreceived unprecedented attention in the past decades, and it is inthis context that one must view the publication of The handbookof contact linguistics (henceforth HLC), edited by Raymond Hickeyfor the Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics series. While a handbookis essentially a reference work aimed at introducing particularconcepts for a given discipline, it is also, by its encompassingnature, an opportunity to capture the current state of thatdiscipline and the directions in which it is moving." (TheLinguist, 6 January 2012)
