preface for the AAA-edition

Language Contact and Bilingualism was originally published in 1987 at Edward Arnold. This

is an unchanged reprint. Since 1985, the field has undergone a tremendous develop-

ment, leading to a host of new surveys and a few specialized journals, such as Internatio-

nal Journal of Bilingualism, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, and Bilingualism:

Language and Cognition. We refer those interested in later writings on this topic to the

comprehensive textbook by Donald Winford, An introduction to contact linguistics (Oxford,

Blackwell, 2003). Some of the more fundamental theoretical studies that have appeared

since the original publication of our book are:

• Sarah Grey Thomason and Terrence Kaufman, Language contact, creolization, and genetic

linguistics. Berkeley, Cal.: University of California Press, 1988.

• Janet L. Nicol, One mind, two languages. Blackwell, Malden, Mass. & Oxford, 2001.

• Michael Clyne, Dynamics of language contact. English and immigrant languages. Cambridge

approaches to language contact. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 2003.

• Carol Myers-Scotton, Contact linguistics. Bilingual encounters and grammatical outcomes.

Oxford: Oxford University Press 2002.
