Chapter 5 Variation in Romance Diego Pescarini and Michele Loporcaro 5.1 Introduction This chapter sets out to show how the study of linguistic variation across closely related languages can fuel research questions and provide a fertile testbed for linguistic theory. We will present two case studies in structural variation – subject clitics and (perfective) auxiliation – and show how a comparative view of these phenomena is best suited to providing a satisfactory account for them, and how such a comparative account bears on a number of theoretical issues ranging from (rather trivially) the modeling of variation to the definition of wordhood, the inventory of parts of speech, and the division of labour between syntax and morphology. 5.2 Systematic variation: the case of subject clitics French, northern Italian Dialects, Ladin, and Romansh are characterized by the presence, with variable degrees of obligatoriness, of clitic elements stemming from Latin nominative personal pronouns.

  • Managing France's Regional Languages

    Managing France's Regional Languages

    MANAGING FRANCE’S REGIONAL LANGUAGES: LANGUAGE POLICY IN BILINGUAL PRIMARY EDUCATION IN ALSACE Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michelle Anne Harrison September 2012 Abstract The introduction of regional language bilingual education in France dates back to the late 1960s in the private education system and to the 1980s in the public system. Before this time the extensive use of regional languages was forbidden in French schools, which served as ‘local centres for the gallicisation of France’ (Blackwood 2008, 28). France began to pursue a French-only language policy from the time of the 1789 Revolution, with Jacobin ideology proposing that to be French, one must speak French. Thus began the shaping of France into a nation-state. As the result of the official language policy that imposed French in all public domains, as well as extra-linguistic factors such as the Industrial Revolution and the two World Wars, a significant language shift occurred in France during the twentieth century, as an increasing number of parents chose not to pass on their regional language to the next generation. In light of the decline in intergenerational transmission of the regional languages, Judge (2007, 233) concludes that ‘in the short term, everything depends on education in the [regional languages]’. This thesis analyses the development of language policy in bilingual education programmes in Alsace; Spolsky’s tripartite language policy model (2004), which focuses on language management, language practices and language beliefs, will be employed. In spite of the efforts of the State to impose the French language, in Alsace the traditionally non-standard spoken regional language variety, Alsatian, continued to be used widely until the mid-twentieth century.

  • Ve Ruined the Moment!

    Ve Ruined the Moment!

    Issue no. 72 1st of February 2013 Bienvenido a todos. After a remarkably dry December, 42% less rainfall than normal, January also turned out to be an excellent month with temperatures often in the low 20’s. However, from January 19, we have been experiencing some very strong northerly winds. These have caused extensive damage throughout Spain; two men being killed in Cartagena when a wall was blown down onto them and a woman in Badajoz died after her house-gate fell on her. Palm trees, shed-roofs, signs, and indeed anything not strong or firmly secured collapsed in the wind. Even the large Alcampo sign at Zenia Boulevard is now being supported by a large ‘cherry-picker.’ If you had a canvas gazebo in your garden, it is now probably somewhere in North Africa…….or the Med’! Looking back at last year, the economy was also just as stormy and problematic. Unfortunately, 2013 has not started any better. There are now six million unemployed in Spain, more than 26% of the population. Inflation is around 3% and may increase due to a swathe of price increases announced in early January. The electricity continues its upward climb with an increase of 3%; road-tolls are up 3.3%; Renfe train-tickets are also up 3%; your Telefonica standing-charge is now increased by 2.9%, but this is the first increase in five years, and cigarettes are up by around 20 cents per packet. But the one increase which leaves me flummoxed, is the increase in the IVA rate on new builds from 4 to 10%! The tax relief on housing was also removed in January.
  • Catalan in the Classroom: a Language Under Fire Sara Fowler

    Catalan in the Classroom: a Language Under Fire Sara Fowler

    Catalan in the Classroom: A Language Under Fire Sara Fowler Hawaii Pacific University Abstract This paper describes the role of Spain’s largest minority language, Catalan, in Spanish society, specifically in the classroom. Throughout its history, Catalan has gone through many cycles of oppression and revival. Currently, despite several decades of positive progress in its official role and a growing number of young speakers, Catalan is facing new challenges once again. Some members of the Spanish government believe that the language of instruction in Catalonia should be Castilian, a development which the citizens of Catalonia feel is an attack on their linguistic rights and identity. Catalan is a well-documented example of the tensions which can arise in a country with a minority language or languages. The Catalan case can also serve as a reminder to English teachers that the politics of language are often more complicated than they seem; teachers must be aware of and sensitive to the cultural and political backgrounds of their students. Introduction It is a fact that linguistic boundaries and political borders are not a perfect match; nevertheless, most people associate one language with one country. For example, the name Spain, for many people, brings to mind one language: Spanish. However, Spanish, or “Castilian” as it is more specifically called, is not the only language in Spain. There are 15 languages spoken in Spain—one official language and three other “co-official” languages, the largest of which is Catalan, spoken as a “mother tongue” by approximately nine percent of the population, compared to five percent speakers of Galician and a mere one percent who speak Euskera (Basque) as a mother tongue (Ethnologue, 2014; European Commission, 2006, p.

  • Some Fundamentals of Romance Linguistics with Regard to Sardinian

    Some Fundamentals of Romance Linguistics with Regard to Sardinian

    Open Access Library Journal Some Fundamentals of Romance Linguistics with Regard to Sardinian Jordi Crespo Saumell Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Cagliari, Italia Email: [email protected] Received 3 June 2015; accepted 20 June 2015; published 26 June 2015 Copyright © 2015 by author and OALib. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract When it comes to consider the vast space that Latin and the Romance languages occupy, geogra- phical, temporal, and social dimensions pop up at least as unavoidable. In coming to grips with the evolution of the vulgar Latin into their extant reflexes, there is also unanimous agreement in regarding vowel quantity, syllable boundaries, and syllable weight as the three main concepts ac- counting for the progressive stages and the final aspect of the neo-Latin languages today. In reas- suming such a theoretical frame, this paper is more particularly intended to give a picture of these features when applied to Sardinian. Its insular development beside the controversy on its alleged non Indo-European origin, the conservative forms the Sardinian took with regard to Latin, or the deep imprint the diverse linguistic superstrata exerted upon it are all these traits that, doubtlessly, contribute to making of the Sardinian a unique Romance standing for its own place in the scene of the minority languages. Keywords Romance Linguistics, Sardinian, Substratum, Latin Enculturation, Law of the Quantitative Collapse, Metaphonism, Superstratum, Catalan, Diglossia Subject Areas: Literature, Sociology 1. Introduction: Theoretical Frame and Methodological Remarks From a methodological point of view the linguistic theory seems to be able to explain the blank between the vulgar Latin and the Neo-Latin languages in a successful and convincing way, since it is possible to expound in reasoned and systematic terms the mechanisms accounting for the medial steps from the vulgar Latin to a Rom- ance language whatsoever.
