Description
This book sketches the multilingual ecologies of the different language groups that have interacted in Suriname and across the Guianas. These groups have maintained a part of the boundaries demarcating their separate identities, and at the same time they show a tendency to cross bridges, metaphorically speaking, in their multilingual practices. Our initial question was which contact-induced changes occurred in the languages of Suriname and how these changes can be explained.
