本文讨论社会语言学中的方言接触研究。欧洲科学基金会研究网络确定了社会语言学模型的需求，该模型能够捕捉上半个世纪明显特征的社会和地理流动性所带来的变化，从而使说话者能够了解遥远社区的社会和语言实践。言语社区被认为是一种结构，不考虑社区之间的接触，也不考虑流动性和获取他人当地语言实践知识所带来的交叉影响。描述言语社区的经典程序是让分析人员指定特定的地理位置，然后识别一系列假定相关的社会类别，例如阶级、种族、性别或世代。对这些全球类别的变化进行分析意味着它们会影响说话者的行为，但说话者主要受到地理位置的限制。
This article discusses dialect contact research in sociolinguistics. The European Science Foundation Research Network identified the need for sociolinguistic models capable of capturing changes accompanying the social and geographic mobility conspicuously characteristic of the last half century, which allows speakers access to the social and linguistic practices of distant communities. The speech community, is conceived as a construct which does not attend to contacts between communities or to the crosscutting influences entailed by mobility and access to knowledge of the local linguistic practices of others. The classic procedure in describing a speech community is for the analyst to specify a particular geographical location, and then to identify a series of putatively relevant social categories such as class, ethnicity, gender, or generation. Analysis of variation in terms of these global categories carries the implication that they influence the behaviour of speakers, who are nevertheless primarily constrained by geographical location.
