Full Description
This volume contains revised and, in some cases, extended versions of twelve of the fourteen lectures read at the conference on "Early Germanic Languages in Contact" held at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense on 22-23 August 2013 - with a paper and a review article added at the end on themes pertaining to the aim and scope of the symposium. All papers cover central aspects of the early contact between Germanic and some of its Indo-European and non-Indo-European linguistic neighbours; and, in certain cases, aspects involving internal Germanic language contact.
