PROSODY AND LANGUAGE IN CONTACT GEBUNDEN

This volume provides new insights into various issues on prosody in contact situations  contact
referring here to the L2 acquisition process as well as to situations where two language
systems may co-exist. A wide array of phenomena are dealt with (prosodic description of
linguistic systems in contact situations  analysis of prosodic changes  language development
processes  etc.)  and the results obtained may give an indication of what is more or less
stable in phonological and prosodic systems. In addition  the selected papers clearly show how
languages may have influenced or may have been influenced by other language varieties (in
multilingual situations where different languages are in constant contact with one another  but
also in the process of L2 acquisition). Unlike previous volumes on related topics  which focus
in general either on L2 acquisition or on the description and analyses of different varieties
of a given language  this volume considers both topics in parallel  allowing comparison and
discussion of the results  which may shed new light on more far-reaching theoretical questions
such as the role of markedness in prosody and the causes of prosodic changes.
