In the South-West the predominant contact language is Spanish, which has gained some territory to the detriment of Basque, whereas on the French side of the border the extension of the Basque speaking area has not been reduced in the same way. Here the contact situation is more complex since an often overlooked language intervenes: Gascon. The different scenarios cause certain differences in loan word integration, phonetics and phonology, and even grammar.engBasquelanguage contactbilingualismlanguage shiftborrowing440460490bookparturn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-92414x
