Final Report Summary - CONTACTS (Traces of contact: Language contact studies and historical linguistics)
Having reached the end of the grant period for this project, I am very pleased to say that it has been very successful overall. There were five components:
• Deep time South America
• The multilingual development of Suriname
• Heritage languages in multilingual Netherlands
• Multilingual processing and convergence
• Digitization and computational modelling
All five components are yielding important results, and there is significant synergy between the different components. Support from Radboud University Nijmegen was very good. Many of the young researchers trained in the project are finding interesting positions on the labour market. We have not yet completed all the publications from this project, but we are well under way.
