This book (in its second edition) brings together a considerable amount of knowledge on the subject of language contact. Inasmuch as topics range from methodological discussions on contacts in prehistoric languages to urban sociolinguistics, the diversity of the methodological approaches and the extent of the phenomena covered are very impressive. -- Emmanuel Schang, University of Orleans for LINGUIST List 32.2117, June 2021
