Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This series offers a wide forum for work on contact linguistics, using an integrated approach to both diachronic and synchronic manifestations of contact, ranging from social and individual aspects to structural-typological issues. Topics covered by the series include child and adult bilingualism and multilingualism, contact languages, borrowing and contact-induced typological change, code switching in conversation, societal multilingualism, bilingual language processing, and various other topics related to language contact. The series does not have a fixed theoretical orientation, and includes contributions from a variety of approaches.
_x000D_ MoreLong description:
The book provides a comprehensive empirical examination of linguistic convergence in the Balkans. By mapping over 100 linguistic and sociolinguistic features across 60 languages and dialects, the contributions rigorously test the concept of a linguistic area. Each feature is visually represented with maps and analyzed in summaries co-authored by an international team of experts. Conceptualized as a companion to the Atlas of the Balkan Linguistic Area Online (ABLA), the book is an essential resource for scholars of language contact and typology.
