The contributions assembled in this volume are devoted to Trudel Meisenburg and address central aspects of her research: language contact, variation and change. The individual papers testify the growing interest in complex heterogeneous and hybrid language constellations and show the explanatory power of linguistic theories which account for contact-induced variability in empirical data. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes sind Trudel Meisenburg gewidmet und gruppieren sich um die zentralen Themen ihrer Forschung: Sprachkontakt, Variation und Wandel. Die Beiträge bezeugen das neue Interesse für komplexe heterogene und hybride sprachliche Situationen und zeigen die Leistungsfähigkeit einer für kontaktbedingte Variabilität offenen linguistischen Theoriebildung auf.
