This seminar is intended to give participants the opportunity to explore language contact in the history of the English language under
three principal aspects:
• the historical context of language contact,
• the principles which were active in the given language encounter,
• the methods which were used to arrive at the conclusions made.
The following types of contact may be drawn on as topics for the class:
• language imposition in the widest sense,
• dialect leveling (koinéization)
• immigration
• bilingualism, code-switching, and borrowing
• creolization
• vernacularization
• language planning and policy
In observing contact phenomena we will take into consideration various approaches to language change such as
• transmission and diffusion, including accommodation
• second language acquisition,
• universal principles of language acquisition and change,
• vernacular universals
• language retention and loss (shift),
• areal contact (Sprachbund)
Participants are expected not only to do the background reading and take part in discussion in the seminar sessions,
but also to be responsible (individually or in a small team) for the presentation and elaboration of one of the topics.
