Paperback. 228 pp.(Amsterdam University Press - Amsterdam Archaeological Studies). - What happens - sociologically, linguistically, educationally, politically - when more than one language is in regular use in a community? How do speakers handle these languages simultaneously, and what influence does this language contact have on the languages involved?Although most people in the world use more than one language in everyday life, the approach to the study of language has usually been that monolingualism is the norm.
