In the OXFORD STUDIES IN LANGUAGE CONTACT series, this book explores a case of linguistic shift in the Balkans. Focuses on Arvanitika, an Albanian variety spoken in Greece which is under threat through a process of attrition. Emphasises both the macro-processes responsible for the shift and the local communities' discourse as a complex response.
