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.
