Summary:The aim of this NJL special issue will be to analyse empirically how migration, living in isolation and encounters with other languages affect the structure of a language variety and ultimately give rise to the emergence of new varieties. [...]the effects of isolation versus language contact on language structure have been a recurrent theme in recent typological research related to linguistic complexity (see e.g. Baechler & Seiler 2016, Miestamo 2017). According to the policy of NJL, a special focus is expected to be placed on the widest range of Nordic languages, including Greenlandic and also the Saami and Finnic languages.
