Phrase-final prepositions in Quebec French: An empirical study of contact, code-switching and resistance to convergence* (2011, background): “256), CS has been identified as a key mechanism for contact-induced change in general, and structural convergence in particular (e.g. Backus, 2004, 2005; Fuller, 1996; Heath, 1989; Muysken, 2000; Thomason, 2001; Toribio, 2004; Winford, 2005).”
Convergence and intonation: historical evidence from Buenos Aires Spanish (2004, background): “We will argue that linguistic and social factors suggest that the present patterns are the result of convergence (Thomason, 2001), motivated by a double source; direct contact with Italian and the influence of Italian in the development of Lunfardo.”
Innovative constructions in Dutch Turkish: An assessment of ongoing contact-induced change* (2009, background): “Generally, the tendency is to attribute unconventionality to influence from the contact language (Thomason, 2001; Myers-Scotton, 2002).”
Codeswitching and language change: One thing leads to another? (2005, background): “10 Closely related terms are usualization, routinization, and habitualization (see Györi, 2002, p.151; Langacker, 2000, p.3; Thomason, 2001, pp.135 – 136).”

Testing convergence via code-switching: priming and the structure of variable subject expression (2011, background): “In particular, it has been proposed that code-switching promotes grammatical convergence, or structural similarity through language contact (Backus, 2004; Gumperz & Wilson, 1971; MyersScotton, 2002; Thomason, 2001; Toribio, 2004).”
Bilingualism, Heritage Language Learners, and SLA Research: Opportunities Lost or Seized? (2005, background): “In addition, moreover, through its contact with the dominant language, the communal language may have also undergone contact-induced language change (Thomason, 2001; Thomason & Kaufman, 1988) through lexical and structural borrowing.”
