Anna-Maria Sonnemann. Language Families in Contact: The Mutual Impact of Slavic and Romani.
Berlin/Boston: DeGruyter Mouton, 2022. xvii + 247 pp. [Language Contact and Bilingualism, ed. Yaron Matras, volume 24.] ISBN 978-3-11-075604-3.
Abstract
For specialists in Slavic linguistics, the study of Slavic contacts with Romani is important for discussions of the kinds of grammatical change that can occur in a non-Slavic system under the influence of various Slavic languages, as well as changes in the lexicon in both directions. This useful work, based on the author’s habilitation thesis at the University of Cologne (2021)—which itself expands and revises some of the author’s previously published work—provides an excellent survey of all the key issues.
