| summary | Mixed languages present an intriguing type of language contact. They arise in bilingual settings, often as markers of identity or as secret languages, and they combine parts from different languages, showing unique splits that challenge theories of genetic classification and contact-induced change. Debate persists on whether they form a distinct category or represent extreme cases of borrowing. This talk examines an integrated typology of mixed languages and borderline cases, drawing on sociohistorical and structural perspectives to address the central question of gradience versus distinctiveness (Mazzoli & Sippola 2021). Special attention is given to cases at the fringe of the category of mixed languages and special cases of borrowing to clarify classification and contribute to theories of language contact and typology. |
