Languages in Contact by Uriel Weinreich

“This remains the fundamental base for studies of multilingual communities and language shift. Weinreich laid out the concepts, principles and issues that govern empirical work in this field, and it has not been replaced by any later general treatment.” Prof. Dr. William Labov, University of Pennsylvania, Department of Linguistics
URIEL WEINREICH (1926-1967) was a professor of linguistics and Atran Professor of Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture at Columbia University.
