Areal linguistics
Chapter 12 of the textbook has information on areal linguistics and examples of many of them. Here on the web site is a summary of what I presented in class, which is based on Sarah Thomason's ideas outlined in "Linguistic areas and language history" on her web site. Thomason is probably the world's leading expert on areas.For earlier posts, find the "Blog archives" heading at the top of the left column and click on the month of your choice.
