This paper deals with the reconstruction of contact-induced changes concerning ‘Restsprachen’. In particular, I will discuss methods for identifying the different types of contact-induced change and then examine whether the tendency towards vowel reduction and deletion in non-initial syllables common to Latin, Etruscan, and the Sabellic languages may be considered a feature spread by contact.

Abstract
This paper deals with the reconstruction of contact-induced changes concerning ‘Restsprachen’. In particular, I will discuss methods for identifying the different types of contact-induced change and then examine whether the tendency towards vowel reduction and deletion in non-initial syllables common to Latin, Etruscan, and the Sabellic languages may be considered a feature spread by contact.
