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 development, leading to a host of new surveys and a few specialized journals, such as International Journal of Bilingualism, 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: • Sar Sarah ah Grey Grey Tho Thomas mason on and and Terr Terrenc encee Kaufm Kaufman, an, Language contact, creolization, and genetic linguistics..
