"The interactions of the Celtic-speaking communities of Southern Gaul with the Mediterranean
world have intrigued commentators since antiquity. This book combines sociolinguistics
and archaeology to bring to life the multilingualism and multiple identities of the
region from the foundation of the Greek colony of Massalia in 600 BC to the final
phases of Roman Imperial power. It builds on the interest generated by the application
of modern bilingualism theory to ancient evidence by modelling language contact and
community dynamics and adopting an innovative interdisciplinary approach. This produces
insights into the entanglements and evolving configurations of a dynamic zone of cultural
contact. Key foci of contact-induced change are exposed and new interpretations of
cultural phenomena highlight complex origins and influences from the entire Mediterranean
koine. Southern Gaul reveals itself to be fertile ground for considering the major
themes of multilingualism, ethnolinguistic vitality, multiple identities, colonialism
and Mediterraneanization"
