Borrowed Morphology explores the complex dynamics of language contact, examining both social and structural aspects of bilingualism and multilingualism. This integrated approach considers diachronic and synchronic manifestations of contact, covering topics such as child and adult bilingualism, code switching in conversation, and societal multilingualism. The series offers a diverse range of perspectives on language contact, incorporating contributions from various theoretical approaches. By examining the effects of borrowing and contact-induced typological change, this book provides valuable insights into the complexities of human communication. Through its comprehensive analysis, Borrowed Morphology sheds light on the intricate relationships between languages in contact, making it a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in linguistics.
