The studies in this volume achieve several aims: they critically assess the Balkan Sprachbund theory; they analyse general contact theories against the background of new, original, representative field and historical Greek, Albanian, Romance, Slavic and Judesmo data; they employ and contribute to recent methods of research on linguistic convergence in bilingual societies; they propose new general assessments of extra- and intralinguistic factors of Balkanization over the centuries; and they outline prospects for future research. The factors relevant to contact scenarios and linguistic change in the Balkans are identified and typologized through models such as those related to a balanced or unbalanced (socio)linguistic situation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walter de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45126343360663,"sku":"9781501520723","price":1960.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781501520723.webp?v=1767902835","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/between-separation-and-symbiosis-south-eastern-european-languages-and-cultures-in-contact-9781501520723","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
