Language contacts have significant impacts on historical changes of languages, and this process is known as replication (cf. Heine and Kuteva 2005, 2006). However, replication often refers to one specific subtype of contact-induced language change, i.e. an assimilating type that can form areal features. On the contrary to the assimilation, another type, termed here a diversifying type, amplifies differences among languages in contacts. In this article, we analyse these two opposing types in the context of the Baltic languages, especially Russian and Lithuanian. The diversifying type normally exhibits complex areal features and it also often involves various issues of social identity.
