contents Given a countable group $G$ and two subshifts $X$ and $Y$ over $G$, a continuous, shift-commuting map $ϕ: X \to Y$ is called a homomorphism. Our main result states that if every finitely generated subgroup of $G$ has polynomial growth, $X$ is aperiodic, and $Y$ has the finite extension property (FEP), then there exists a homomorphism $ϕ: X \to Y$. By combining this theorem with a previous result of Bland, we obtain that if the same conditions hold, and if additionally the topological entropy of $X$ is less than the topological entropy of $Y$ and $Y$ has no global period, then $X$ embeds into $Y$. We also establish some facts about subshifts with the FEP that may be of independent interest.
