Die Studie ist in dem bisher nur begrenzt fruchtbar gemachten Überlappungsbereich von Gesprächslinguistik und Areallinguistik angesiedelt und zielt auf die Etablierung eines alternativen Zugangs zu sprachlicher Variation ab, der dem konkreten Sprachgebrauch bereits in der Theoriebildung einen anderen Status zuweist als bis dato üblich. Durch die systematische Integration interaktionaler Gesichtspunkte in die Untersuchung arealsprachlicher Variationsspektren zeigt die Arbeit einen grundlegenden Perspektivwechsel in der areallinguistischen Forschung auf: Aspekte des sozialen Handelns, die Kontextualisierung interaktiver Bedeutung und die Heterogenität alltäglichen Sprachgebrauchs werden theoretisch und emprisch systematisch zusammengeführt. Es wird schließlich auf der Grundlage einer weitgreifenden Theoriediskussion und einer darauf aufsattelnden Methodenreflexion ein eigener Methodenapparat entwickelt, um im empirischen Teil auf der Basis authentischer Gesprächsdaten aus Norddeutschland verschiedene arealsprachliche Variationsspektren im Hinblick auf sprachstrukturelle und gesprächsfunktionale Aspekte zu beschreiben und zu kontrastieren. Open Access:Die freie Verfügbarkeit der E-Book-Ausgabe dieser Publikation wurde im Juli 2019 nachträglich ermöglicht durch den Fachinformationsdienst Linguistik.https://www.linguistik.de/ This study focuses on a previously untapped interface between discourse and areal linguistics. It assigns a different primary status to usage at the stage of theory development. Using actual discourse data from Northern Germany, it provides an integrated comparative description of areal linguistic variations in terms of their linguistic structure and discursive function.

"What can the languages spoken today tell us about the history of their speakers? This question is crucial in insular Southeast Asia and New Guinea, where thousands of languages are spoken, but written historical records and archaeological evidence is yet lacking in most regions. While the region has a long history of contact through trade, marriage exchanges, and cultural-political dominance, detailed linguistic studies of the effects of such contacts remain limited. This volume investigates how loanwords can prove past contact events, taking into consideration ten different regions located in the Philippines, Eastern Indonesia, Timor-Leste, and New Guinea. Each chapter studies borrowing across the borders of language families, and discusses implications for the social history of the speech communities"--

"Arabic and its Alternatives discusses the complicated relationships between language, religion and communal identities in the Middle East in the period following the First World War. This volume takes its starting point in the non-Arabic and non-Muslim communities, tracing their linguistic and literary practices as part of a number of interlinked processes, including that of religious modernization, of new types of communal identity politics and of socio-political engagement with the emerging nation states and their accompanying nationalisms. These twentieth-century developments are firmly rooted in literary and linguistic practices of the Ottoman period, but take new turns under influence of colonization and decolonization, showing the versatility and resilience as much as the vulnerability of these linguistic and religious minorities in the region. Contributors are Tijmen C. Baarda, Leyla Dakhli, Sasha R. Goldstein-Sabbah, Liora R. Halperin, Robert Isaf, Michiel Leezenberg, Merav Mack, Heleen Murre-van den Berg, Konstantinos Papastathis, Franck Salameh, Cyrus Schayegh, Emmanuel Szurek, Peter Wien".

This book assembles contributions dealing with language contact and areal linguistics. The goal of the book is to investigate linguistic convergence in Europe with a strong focus on the languages of Eastern Central Europe which show many remarkable similarities. The focus is put on a methodical and empirical component in the investigation of two or more languages in the context of possible language contact phenomena. Languages of Eastern Central Europe and adjacent parts of Europe use a considerable amount of common vocabulary due to the transfer of loanwords during a long period of cultural contact. But they also share several grammatical features—phonological, morphological and syntactic ones. This book tackles lexical and grammatical phenomena in language contact situations. The authors take up diachronic, synchronic and language acquisitional perspectives, and discuss methodological problems for the field.

"This monograph is a contribution to the documentation of the linguistic situation of the Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh (Indian Himalayas) which has been so far almost undescribed. Sino-Tibetan (Kinnauri and Navakat) and Indo-Aryan (Kinnauri Pahari) languages, which are traditionally spoken in this region, are described as independent linguistic entities and as parts of a multifaceted linguistic ecology, part of which also other linguistic varieties spoken in the wider Himalayan region where Kinnaur is situated are considered. The author endeavors to disentangle genealogical and areal characteristics of the languages of Kinnaur using a combination of traditional linguistic description and a quantitative computational procedure inspired by lexicostatistics, taking also morphosyntax into account"--
