This book presents Lars Johansonâs Code-Copying Model, an integrated framework for the description of contact-induced processes. The model covers all the main contact linguistic issues in their synchronic and diachronic interrelationship. The terminology is kept intuitive and simple to apply. Illustrative examples from a wide range of languages demonstrate the modelâs applicability to both spoken and written codes. The fundamental difference between âtake-overâ copying and âcarry-overâ copying is given special value. Speakers can take over copies from a secondary code into their own primary code, or alternatively carry over copies from their own primary code into their variety of a secondary code. The results of these two types of copying are significantly different and thus provide insights into historical processes.
Lars Johanson pursued his studies at Uppsala University, Sweden. He is professor at the University of Mainz, Germany. He has published widely on descriptive and historical linguistics. His book Turkic (2021) presents his pioneering contributions to Turkic linguistics and language typology.
