Twenty-nine international academics, researchers, and independent scholars contribute 30 chapters examining the structural effects of language contact on a wide variety of languages from around the world. Following an introductory overview, a review of Matras and Sakel's concepts of matter and pattern in linguistic borrowing, and a discussion of the borrowability of structural categories, each of the remaining 27 chapters focuses on the diachronic impact that language contact has had on the structure of a particular language. Accompanying these descriptions are comments on societal multilingualism, the roles that are assigned to various languages in the community, patterns of language mixing, and issues of language policy and language education. The purpose of the complication is to provide a comparison of the effects of different kinds of contact on different kinds of languages, and to contribute to an understanding of universal effects of language contact.
