INHALT: Klaus Beyer and Raija Kramer introduce the theme of language change in multilingual contexts. Beyer explores language development influenced by multilingualism, proposing an agent-based simulation for contact-induced language evolution. Kramer examines linguistic variation and norm development in Fulfulde varieties from Ngaoundéré, Cameroon. Schreiber discusses linguistic solidarity in the face of ultra-hyper-diversity, focusing on Nigerian Pidgin in Lagos. Nassenstein analyzes style, sociability, and innovations within Makerere English, while Markgraf addresses variation and linguistic change in Mbum. Connell investigates language history and contact in the Mambiloid Region of Cameroon, and Ziegelmeyer notes contact scenarios in the Lake Chad Region. Additional works on language contact phenomena, language shift, and multilingualism include studies on codeswitching in Gambia, the sociolinguistic dynamics among the Yeyi in Botswana, multilingual settlements in Nigeria, and language change in East Africa and Ethiopia. These texts provide a comprehensive look at the complexities of language interaction and evolution across various African contexts.
