Conceptual Borrowing as an Areal Factor

Beschreibung

Mainland Southeast Asia unifies languages and varieties out of genetically diverse language families. Nevertheless, the area is known as a prime example for linguistic convergence. By analyzing conceptual transfer this book offers new insight in areal linguistics. Using Thai, Khmer, Lao and Vietnamese examples this study reveals parallels on the semantic level of spatial reference due to language contact as an areal defining feature.
