- Inhalt
- Speakers of English have always been in contact with speakers of other languages. Thus, foreign languages have influenced the development and growth of English. Vice versa, English has influenced the development and growth of other languages. In this class we will analyse different scenarios of language contact and their effects both in general and with particular regard to past and present stages of English. Questions to be discussed include the influence of Celtic, Scandinavian, French and Latin on English in the pre-modern era and beyond as well as the impact of English on other languages from Early Modern times until the present day. This includes the effects of language contact in colonial settings, which may result in the birth of pidgins and creoles, such as "Tok Pisin" in Papua New Guinea. Further topics are, among others, the mechanisms of contact-induced change and the possible role of English as a contact language in the future.
