BETWEEN SEPARATION AND SYMBIOSIS KARTONIERT (TB)

The book deals in detail with previously understudied language contact settings in the Balkans
(South East Europe) that present a continuum between ethnic and linguistic separation and
symbiosis among groups of people. The studies in this volume achieve several aims: they
critically assess the Balkan Sprachbund theory  they analyse general contact theories against
the background of new  original  representative field and historical Greek  Albanian  Romance 
Slavic and Judesmo data  they employ and contribute to recent methods of research on linguistic
convergence in bilingual societies  they propose new general assessments of extra- and
intralinguistic factors of Balkanization over the centuries  and they outline prospects for
future research. The factors relevant to contact scenarios and linguistic change in the Balkans
are identified and typologized through models such as those related to a balanced or unbalanced
(socio)linguistic situation.
