Books by Anthony P. (Professor of Historical Linguistics and Language Contact Grant

The Oxford Handbook of Language Contact examines the ways in which speakers of one language can exert influence on another language, and the ways in which we can assess this influence. It draws on data from dozens of languages from across the globe, and examines the contact histories of twenty such situations (including American Sign Language) in detail. It is the most up-to-date book on this topic in the science of language.
