VARIATIONist Linguistics meets CONTACT Linguistics

Edited by Alexandra N. Lenz & Mateusz Maselko, in cooperation with Manuela Lanwermeyer.

This volume is dedicated to the inherently heterogeneous nature of language(s) as seen from the perspective of variationist linguistics and contact linguistics, which became established and internationally recognized sub-disciplines of (socio)linguistics during the latter half of the 20th century. Over the last few years, each paradigm has broadened the spectrum of the topics under investigation considerably, but there has not yet been an extensive and satisfactory exchange between the two scientific fields named. The volume aims at giving an insight into the complex synergy between occurring linguistic contact constellation, on the one hand, and variation in the parlance, on the other hand. 13 contributions, based on papers from the Internternational Conference "VARIATIONist Linguistics meets CONTACT Linguistics", Ascona, May 20-23, 2018. The book is organized in two parts, each one consisting of two chapters: 1. Languages in Contact: a) Extraterritorial Varieties of German and Norwegian; b) Historical Contact Scenarios. - 2. Varieties in Contact: a) Varieties of German in Austria; b) Varieties of German in Germany.
