Southeastern Conference on Linguistics SECOL Southeastern Conference on Linguistics 83rd meeting “Linguistic Gumbo: Challenges in Multilanguage Contact” March 28-30, 2016 New Orleans, Louisiana Sponsored by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Thank you to our University of Louisiana at Lafayette sponsors, the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, the Departments of English and Modern Languages, and the McIlhenny Company. 1 Contents SECOL Schedule ............................................................................................................................................... 3-7 Panel Abstracts Alphabetical by Author................................................................................................ 8-15 Paper Abstracts Alphabetical by Author............................................................................................. 15-78 Index ................................................................................................................................................................... 79-80 PLENARY Tuesday, March 29, 5:15-6:45 p.m. Astor Ballroom Who Owns “Who Dat”: Linguistic Innovation, Cultural Property Rights, Copyright, and the NFL Dr. Shana Walton, Nicholls State University In 2007, a New Orleans corporation claimed ownership of the chant "Who Day Say They Gonna Beat Dem Saints" and a consortium of businesses, including the National Football League, turned to linguists and anthropologists to determine who owned "Who Dat." In this talk, we will look at the chant's claims of authorship by three groups—two high schools and universities in the Southwestern Athletic Conference—as well as its older underlying "Who Dat" form. We trace its origins from the 1700s from racial pejorative to in-group affiliation to symbol of a resilient city, noting its semantic elasticity and commodification, from "Poo Dat" onesies to "Dat Dog" restaurants. The journey of the phrase offers a window onto race relations in New Orleans, and the end result—a marketable language nugget—compels linguists and anthropologists to look more closely at the intersections and power relations among communities (often black and brown) creating coveted language, the adopting communities (like the Who Dat nation), and merchandisers. Who owns “Who Dat”? The questions is not whether or not someone should be making money. People are. For linguistics, is this discoverable research or community action? In what ways is this a language rights or social justice issue? Shana Walton earned her PhD in linguistic anthropology from Tulane University in 1994. Since then she has published on Cajun English and Cajun identity and on stance and identity in new media. She has also collaborated on grant projects studying links between subsistence farming and cultural networks and also New Orleans’ Jazzfest. 2 Monday, March 28 - Iberville - - Bourbon - - Bienville - 1:00-1:30 A method for acoustic Language ideologies of Power relations & ideology measurement of voiced internet Esperantists: A in multilingualism: implosives: Evidence of diachronic study Analyzing the linguistic implosives in a U.S. dialect Seth Wilson landscape of Morocco Razia Husain Mohammed Albakry Taha Husain 1:30-2:00 Situating Montana within New Orleans and music: LINGUISTIC Ландскеип: the West: A preliminary Identity and perceptions of Vidin, Bulgaria & Sofia, acoustic study francophone/francophile Bulgaria Lisa Sprowls musicians post-Katrina Kaitlyn Lee J.

  • Language Policy and Linguistic Reality in Former Yugoslavia and Its Successor States

The Yugoslav language policy advocated a polycentric model of linguistic unity that strived for equal representation of the languages of the peoples (Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian and Slovenian), ethnicities (ethnic minorities) and ethnic groups, as well as both scripts (Latin and Cyrillic). Serbo-Croatian, spoken by 73% of people in Yugoslavia, was divided into the eastern and the western variety and two standard language expressions: Bosnian and Montenegrin. One linguistic system had sociolinguistic subsystems or varieties which functioned and developed in different socio-political, historical, religious and other circumstances. With the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the aforementioned sociolinguistic subsystems became standard languages (one linguistic system brought forth four political languages). We will describe the linguistic circumstances of the newly formed countries after 1991 in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.

This work examines Creole ethnic identity, focusing particularly on the transition from Creole to American. In "becoming American," Creoles adapted to a binary, racialized caste system prevalent in the Jim Crow American South (and transformed from a primarily Francophone/Creolophone community (where a tripartite although permissive caste system long existed) to a primarily Anglophone community (marked by stricter black-white binaries). These adaptations and transformations were facilitated through Creole participation in fraternal societies, the organized labor movement and public and parochial schools that provided English-only instruction.

  • Understanding South Louisiana Through Literature
    UNDERSTANDING SOUTH LOUISIANA THROUGH LITERATURE: FOLKTALES AND POETRY AS REPRESENTATIONS OF CULTURAL IDENTITY by ANNA BURNS (Under the direction of Dr. Nina Hellerstein) ABSTRACT Folktales represent particular cultural attitudes based on location, time period, and external and internal influences. Cultural identity traits appear through the storytellers, who emphasize these traits to continue cultural traditions. The folktales and poetry studied in this thesis show how various themes work together to form the Cajun and Creole cultures. The themes of occupation, music and dance, and values; religion, myth, and folk beliefs; history, violence, and language problems are examined separately to show aspects of Cajun and Creole cultures. Secondary sources provide cultural information to illustrate the attitudes depicted in the folktales and poetry.

Important components of the jetty fauna during its initial stages of development were: (a) original residents that exhibit some attraction to reef habitats, including some sand-beach inhabitants, several pelagic species, and a few ubiquitous estuarine species; and (b) reef fishes originating from permanent populations on offshore reefs.
