This edited volume highlights certain types of language contact processes that have often been overlooked or neglected, namely that languages or dialects in contact do not converge, i.e. that they either remain stable or diverge from each other in diachronic development. The contributions explore the sociolinguistic and structural factors and mechanisms that lead to stability and divergence despite language contact. The contributions cover a wide range of language contact situations, including standard and non-standard varieties.
