Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to draw readers’ attention to the notion of linguistic convergence and its implication for the modern world. The chapter starts with the definition of linguistic convergence and the presentation of the Multidisciplinary Hexagonal Model of Linguistic Convergence created by the author of this work. The next part of discussion focuses on the function, theory, discipline, as well as level and type perspectives of linguistic convergence. Other aspects presented in this contribution are causes and effects of linguistic convergence. The chapter finishes with the perspectives of linguistic convergence, taking into account the growing role of neuroscientific research.
