Linguistic Ecology and Language Contact

ISBN: 9781316484890 出版年：2018 页码：404 Ludwig Ralph Cambridge University Press

Contributions from an international team of experts revisit and update the concept of linguistic ecology in order to critically examine current theoretical approaches to language contact. Language is understood as a part of complex socio-historical-cultural systems, and interaction between the different dimensions and levels of these systems is considered to be essential for specific language forms. This book presents a uniform, abstract model of linguistic ecology based on, among other things, two concepts of edmund husserl's philosophy (parts and wholes, and foundation).
