Dialects in contact. By Peter Trud Gill. (Language in society. 10.) Oxford: Blackwell. 1986. Pp. viii. 174.

Abstract

This work accounts for the influence mutually intelligible dialects of a language have on one another when they come into contact. It examines linguisitic accommodation in face-to-face interaction and treats this phenomenon as crucial to an understanding of longer-term phenomena such as the geographical spread of linguistic features, the development of interdialect and the growth of new dialects.
