Language Contact and Change is written by Carmen Silva-Corvalán and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0198236441 (ISBN 10) and 9780198236443 (ISBN 13).
Languages in contact are characterized by constant and rapid change; thus, they provide a testing ground for hypotheses about processes of linguistic change. In this study, Silva-Corval�n looks at an inter-generational sample of Spanish-English bilinguals in Los Angeles County. Bringing together analytical techniques employed in sociolinguistics, functional syntax, and discourse analysis, she uncovers the linguistic, cognitive, and social processes underlying language maintenance, as well as changes characteristic of language shift and loss.
