Annotation

Besides a broader theoretical agenda, subscribing to the thesis of the autonomy of language, especially regarding its formal aspects, the three central chapters of this work are concerned with explanations of language contact phenomena pertaining to Hindustani and some other languages and presented as follows: the limits of functionalism; the limits of formalism; and towards an adjudication.
