Koloniallinguistik

The series provides a platform for Colonial and Postcolonial Linguistics. This new sub-discipline of linguistics is inspired by work carried out within the framework of Missionary Linguistics and by recent discussion about language, linguistics and colonialism. KPL/CPL intends to make accessible and comment on textswhich are concerned with languages of the former European possessions in overseas and were written during the European colonial era.

Colonial linguistics is an emerging research paradigm, which for the first time systematically addresses the collection, classification, and interpretation of all linguistic phenomena related to colonialism. The discipline emphasizes a multidisciplinary perspective, as documented by the essays in this anthology by linguists and historians.
