Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of the various contributions included in this volume. They all deal with prosody in contact situations. Here, contact situation has to be understood not only as situations where several languages coexist and are often used simultaneously by speakers (e.g. in many African countries where native languages are in contact with a superstrate European language like French or English), but also as situations where two languages get in contact within individual speakers through foreign language acquisition or bilingual education.
