Beschreibung
This edited volume pays tribute to traditional and innovative language contact research, bringing together contributors with expertise on different languages examining general phenomena of language contact and specific linguistic features which arise in language contact scenarios. A particular focus lies on contact between languages of unbalanced political and symbolic power, language contact and group identity, and the linguistic and societal implications of language contact settings, especially considering contemporary global migration streams.
Drawing on various methodological approaches, among others, corpus and contrastive linguistics, linguistic landscapes, sociolinguistic interviews, and ethnographic fieldwork, the contributions describe phenomena of language contact between and with Romance languages, Semitic languages, and English(es).

Autor*in
Katrin Pfadenhauer
Katrin Pfadenhauer is a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Romance Linguistics at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. Her main research interests are language contact (especially in Mexico and the Caribbean), grammaticalization and language change, unguided second language acquisition, creole languages, and Spanish in Latin America. As part of her dissertation (2012) on the Spanish-Mixtec language contact, she conducted intensive field research in Mexico (as a visiting scholar at CIESAS, Mexico City, funded by the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores de México). She has been to Haiti and the Dominican Republic several times for research on language and cultural contact, especially in the bateyes. Articles published on these topics include “Mwen pale espanyòl un chin: La diáspora haitiana y el contacto lingüístico en la República Dominicana” (2017, Peter Lang), and “El contacto del español con el náhuatl y el mixteco en México” (2021, De Gruyter). Her current research focuses on the semantics of motion verb constructions (with a special focus on COME and GO) in French and Haitian Creole (but also in other Romance languages such as Spanish and Catalan) and in language contact situations (“Zur Semantik von aller + Infinitiv im Kontext des Französischen in Afrika”, 2020 in Romanistik in Geschichte und Gegenwart 26.1). In the field of applied linguistics, she works on language diversity and language rights (accepted, “Language diversity and language rights”, De Gruyter).
