The chapters follow a uniform organisation format, being the narrative version of a standard comprehensive questionnaire previously distributed to all authors. The questionnaire targets systematically the possibility of contact influence \/ grammatical borrowing in a full range of categories. The uniform structure facilitates a comparison among the chapters and the languages covered. The introduction describes the setup of the questionnaire and the methodology of the approach, along with a survey of the difficulties of sampling in contact linguistics. Two evaluative chapters, each authored by one of the co-editors, draws general conclusions from the volume as a whole (one in relation to borrowed grammatical categories and meaningful hierarchies, the other in relation to the distribution of Matter and Pattern replication).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter Mouton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46888147222679,"sku":"9783110196283","price":18016.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110196283.webp?v=1770259092","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/grammatical-borrowing-in-cross-linguistic-perspective-9783110196283","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
