The volume Stability and divergence in language contact: Factors and Mechanisms edited by Braunmuller, Hoder and Kuhl (2014) contains eleven studies about divergence and/or stability in language contact. The contributions plead for a differential description of language development (variation, change, stability) insofar as a given contact phenomenon makes sense in a different way from various perspectives. As convergence/divergence represent more/less structural harmony between languages in contact, the deeper sense of internal and external motivations (factors, mechanisms) of these dynamics is discussed. We argue that the key entity of development is the speaker, who takes the active part in the structuring process by an in-process positioning in discourse and the long-scale elaboration of his repertoire .

当语言抵抗时。从分歧到语言动态

语言接触的稳定性和分歧：由 Braunmuller、Hoder 和 Kuhl 编辑的因素和机制（2014 年）包含 11 项关于语言接触的分歧和/或稳定性的研究。这些贡献要求对语言发展（变化、变化、稳定性）进行不同的描述，因为给定的接触现象从不同的角度以不同的方式有意义。由于趋同/发散代表接触语言之间或多或少的结构和谐，因此讨论了这些动态的内部和外部动机（因素、机制）的更深层次意义。我们认为发展的关键实体是演讲者，他通过在话语中的过程定位和对他的曲目的长期阐述积极参与结构化过程。
