Oral histories constitute a common source of research data for linguists, historians, as well
as for social and cultural anthropologists. However, respective discourses on this theme
have rarely been interdisciplinary. During a workshop at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced
Studies (FRIAS) in December 2015, it became apparent how scientists from various fields of
research can benefit from such an intellectual exchange. With its contributions to minority
languages and linguistic contact varieties this volume aims at bridging this gap by providing
multifaceted interdisciplinary views on diverse approaches to oral history research.
