Language change in contact languages / J. Clancy Clements and Shelome Gooden -- The contribution of relexification, grammaticalization, and reanalysis to creole genesis and development / Claire Lefebvre -- Grammaticalization in creoles / Adrienne Bruyn -- One in Singapore English / Zhiming Bao -- Contact-induced grammaticalization / Stephen Matthews and Virginia Yip -- Tone inventories and tune-text alignments / Shelome Gooden, Kathy-Ann Drayton and Mary E. Beckman -- Subsystem interface and tone typology in Papiamentu / Yolanda Rivera-Castillo -- A twice-mixed creole? / Jeff Good The studies in Language Change in Contact Languages showcase the contributions that the study of contact language varieties make to the understanding of phenomena such as relexification, transfer, reanalysis, grammaticalization, prosodic variation and the development of prosodic systems. Four of the studies deal with morphosyntactic issues while the other three address questions of prosody. The studies include data from the Atlantic creoles (Saramaccan, Sranan, Haitian Creole, Jamaican Creole, Trinidadian Creole, Papiamentu), as well as Singapore English. This volume, originally published as special issue of Studies in Language 33:2 (2009), aims to make the work of several language contact experts available to a wider audience. The studies will be of use to any student or scholar interested in different approaches to contact-induced language processes, particularly as they relate to morphosyntax and prosody.
