When viewing language and dialect contact through the lens of the social settings of variation and acquisition, it becomes apparent that the types and degrees of conservatism in colonial dialects of German are tightly tied to the varieties learned and the patterns of acquisition in the community. Working within the framework of recent theories on stability in language contact and new dialect (koine) formation, the authors explore what the basic social settings of some German-American immigrant communities in Indiana and Wisconsin reveal about the structural consequences of language and dialect contact
