The Emergence of Contact Languages: Researching
Sociohistorical Contexts
Sociohistorical factors such as migration, economic
conditions and colonial policies have influenced the nature of linguistic and
cultural contact in different parts of the world. Although important in shaping
the creoles and other contact languages that emerged in these contexts, such
factors are not always taken into account. This workshop will focus on the
sociohistorical factors affecting language contact and discuss the various
sources of data that can be used to elucidate them.
