Abstract |
The contact between languages in multilingual contexts can lead to language change and the formation of new varieties of language. The term 'indigenization' is used to refer to the contact-induced linguistic changes that result in a new dialect, while 'creolization' refers to the emergence of a new language. This chapter looks at these closely related phenomena and their social contexts, and discusses the psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic processes that bring them about.
