Language contact\, emerging from the interaction of speakers and their languages\, is one of the major shapers of language use and lang uage development. In the field of the study of language\, language contact has thus not only informed investigations into how languages are related and have historically developed and influenced each other\, but also\, and perhaps even more so\, how languages interact in everyday language use of speakers. This focus has become particularly prominent with a “multilin gual turn” in linguistics.

The description and analysis of how l anguages interact depends on identifying the manifestations of language co ntact. A core endeavour of research in the field has revolved around this issue and a great number of labels and descriptors have been put forward w ith the aim of capturing the processes that underlie the different manifes tations of contact in language use and development. This talk will approac h this issue from a cognitive perspective using the categories of borrowin g\, codeswitching\, transfer and replication to differentiate major proces ses of language contact. Examples from English influence on German and fro m other language contact situations involving the English language will il lustrate these major manifestations of contact as well as their potential interrelations and the intricacies in their classification.
