Description
In Linguistic Borrowing in Bilingual Contexts, Frederick W. Fields presents in-depth discussions of the results of language contact, such as lexical borrowing, code-switching, language change, attrition, and convergence, providing the basis for an extremely well-informed study of linguistic borrowing. The research presented in this work by Fields is far-reaching, going well beyond the Malinche Mexicano data that he examines. The consideration of relevant issues and background literature in a wide range of language contact areas and the inclusion of sociolinguistic as well as linguistic issues in explaining borrowing and mixed languages make this book a significant contribution to the field of language contact. Its logical organization and clear exposition of its subject matter at every turn make it accessible as well.
