Prosody, Phonology and Phonetics Series Editors: Daniel Hirst CNRS Laboratoire Parole et Langage, Aix-en-Provence France Qiuwu Ma School of Foreign Languages Tongji University Shanghai China Hongwei Ding School of Foreign Languages Tongji University Shanghai China The series will publish studies in the general area of Speech Prosody with a par- ticular (but non-exclusive) focus on the importance of phonetics and phonology in this field. The topic of speech prosody is today a far larger area of research than is often realised. The number of papers on the topic presented at large international confer- ences such as Interspeech and ICPhS is considerable and regularly increasing. The proposed book series would be the natural place to publish extended ver- sions of papers presented at the Speech Prosody Conferences, in particular the papers presented in Special Sessions at the conference. This could potentially involve the publication of three or four volumes every 2 years ensuring a stable future for the book series. If such publications are pro- duced fairly rapidly, they will in turn provide a strong incentive for the organisation of other special sessions at future Speech Prosody conferences.

The session was held during the Speech Prosody 2012 Conference in Shanghai. It differed from most workshops dedicated to research on language in contact by the desire to bring together people working on second language acquisi- tion, language attrition, multilingualism, and prosodic description of varieties of languages spoken in contact situation (e.g. English spoken in Africa, French spoken in Africa, etc.). Like the special session, the volume tries to gather contributions from a large variety of themes related to language in contact. The leading idea behind this is twofold: (i) giving an overview of research done in the growing field of language in contact; and (ii) showing that methods and research paradigms used in a given thematic area (language acquisition, multilingualism, etc.) may be fruitful for other areas. To achieve this goal, we decided to open this volume to researchers who were not present in Shanghai, but are recognized in the field. As a consequence, the con- tributions collected here do not correspond to a selection of papers presented at Shanghai, but should give an idea of the themes developed in this field. This project could not come to an end without three sets of people: the con- tributors who responded to our invitation, the reviewers and the team from Springer Verlag.
