In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Europe experienced a remarkable linguistic landscape characterized by fluidity and change. Latin, the esteemed scholarly lingua franca of the medieval era, began to fracture as the tectonic plates shifted beneath it, while the vernaculars had not yet solidified into the national languages that they would later evolve into. Multilingualism thrived, with people utilizing a diverse range of languages to communicate. Simultaneously, languages across the globe were coming into contact with unprecedented intensity, influencing and blending with each other, resulting in the emergence of hybrids and pidgins. This interdisciplinary volume delves into the linguistic dynamics that unfolded in Europe and beyond during the crucial centuries between 1400 and 1800. It assumes a state of individual, societal, and functional multilingualism, where codeswitching was the norm and languages were fluid, unbounded, and porous. The book explores the shifting relationships between various tongues in different geographical contexts, shedding light on the myths and theories that emerged to make sense of these linguistic phenomena. By examining the complexities of language change and interaction, this volume provides valuable insights into the rich tapestry of linguistic diversity that characterized the medieval and early modern periods.
