This chapter deals with contact-induced change in Italo-Albanian and its effects on the Balkan inheritance of this minority language. The introduction is dedicated to the general characteristics of Albanian and its varieties from a historical, dialectological and geographic perspective, followed by a section on the historical and present situation of the Italo-Albanians. While Section discusses the role of Balkanisms in Standard Albanian, Section gives a general overview of the fate of these Sprachbund criteria in Italo-Albanian. In Section , contact-induced changes in the verb systems in single Italo-Albanian dialects are investigated, with special regard to the changes in the future tense, in the analytical perfect and verbal aspect, followed by a discussion of the innovative causative construction and other periphrases. Finally, changes in the domains of mood and voice in the Italo-Albanian dialects are described, most of them of recent date and, in part, not accepted by conservative speakers. All contact-induced developments in the minority language, as well as those parts of its grammar that have resisted foreign influence, are contrasted with their Standard-Albanian counterparts. As will be shown, many traditional Balkan features have been weakened or lost, whereas others have even expanded, but always in the direction of Romance models, to which Italo-Albanian functionally has adapted or which it has calqued.

本章讨论意大利-阿尔巴尼亚语的接触引起的变化及其对这种少数民族语言的巴尔干遗产的影响。导言从历史、方言和地理角度介绍阿尔巴尼亚语及其变种的一般特征，然后是关于意大利-阿尔巴尼亚语的历史和现状的部分。虽然 Section 讨论了巴尔干主义在标准阿尔巴尼亚语中的作用，但 Section 给出了这些Sprachbund命运的一般概述意大利-阿尔巴尼亚语标准。在部分中，研究了意大利-阿尔巴尼亚语方言中动词系统的接触引起的变化，特别是在分析完成时和动词方面的将来时的变化，然后讨论了创新的因果结构和其他外围词。最后，描述了意大利-阿尔巴尼亚方言中情绪和声音领域的变化，其中大部分是最近的，部分是保守派人士不接受的。少数民族语言的所有接触引起的发展，以及其语法中抵抗外国影响的部分，都与标准阿尔巴尼亚语对应物形成对比。正如将要展示的，许多传统的巴尔干特征已被削弱或丢失，而其他特征甚至有所扩展，但始终朝着浪漫模式的方向发展，
