Contact innovations arise when speakers adjust their speech to the usage of others. [...] it is trough contact innovations that members of a speech community continually adapt their usage to what they perceive to be the current norms of their speech community [...]. Contact innovations can only consist in an elaboration of a grammar, but their ultimate consequences as contact changes may be describable either as simplifications or as elaborations. - Andersen (2004), a pag.407
