Críticas:

The research program pioneered by Carol Myers-Scotton plays an exceptionally important role in current linguistic scholarship... In sum, this book is not only a solid contribution to the exegesis of the Myers-Scotton research program as applied to language contact phenomena; its relevance to current work in a diversity of areas makes it highly recommended reading for anyone seriously interested in linguistics. (Almeida Jacqueline Toribio, The Pennsylvania State University)

As a text it is very readable and its discourse style takes on a very candid and 'dialogue-like' character . . . This is a key text of the same importance as Thomason and Kaufman's (1988) seminal work Language Contact, Creolization, and Genetic Linguistics (Australian Journal of Linguistics)

This book will provide an account of contact outcome theories, including the author's own. It will have coursebook potential for advanced undergraduates and graduates. (Folia Linguistica)

This is an important book ... Without doubt, anyone with a serious interest in contact linguistics will read this book with profit. (The Times Higher Education Supplement)

The new book of Myers-Scotton is one of the most important contributions to the study of codeswitching and language contacts that has been published in recent years both because of the width of issues discussed and theoretical depth of treating these issues. (Linguist List)

Reseña del editor:

Language contact phenomena describe the linguistic varieties, or intrusions of one variety into another, that arise when speakers confront a new language. Language contact is one of the principal causes of linguistic change and diversity, and of central interest in historical, social, anthropological, and general linguistics. This book provides an account of contact outcome theories, including the author's own. It should have coursebook potential for advanced undergraduates and graduates.
