Now thinking about late antiquity, I wonder whether we should be looking more at the 'pressures' imposed on spoken varieties of Latin by bilingual speakers (whether the other language is Gaulish or Aquitanian or Berber).

I don't have an answer yet, but this is a feature of language use in the late Roman West that is piquing my interest....
