  • Indian English - a National Model
    Indian English - A National Model Daniel Costa Woospeak Learning Center, Greece Abstract India is currently home to one of the world’s largest English-speaking communities, in a context where the language is increasingly seen as a gateway to the world. Given the plurality of the country’s social and linguistic landscape, however, a significant amount of the population does not speak or have access to the language. The impact of colonization has traditionally made Standard British English the model to be followed in the educational context, although it does not reflect the local culture. This paper advocates the use of Indian English as the national model, due to a set of unique lexical, grammatical, phonological and discourse features that would allow it to act as both a lingua franca within the country and on the international stage. Keywords: India, Indian English, lingua franca Introduction The English language has increasingly played a significant role in India since the early days of colonization and it currently acts as “its lingua franca and ‘window on the world’” (Mehrotra, 2003, p. 19). In spite of an overreliance on Standard British English as a plausible model, the emergence of a local variety, commonly referred to as Indian English, reflects the impact of its socio-cultural background and setting. It is characterised by the incorporation of distinct lexical, grammatical, phonological and discourse features. This paper argues that such elements, which Indian English has acquired through “indigenization” (Kachru, 1990), has endowed the language variety with a unique nature and the consequent ability to be used as a national model, rather than a set of deviations from a native target model, as it has often been described (Domange, 2015).

    Spanglish code-switching in Latin pop music: functions of English and audience reception A corpus and questionnaire study Magdalena Jade Monteagudo Master’s thesis in English Language - ENG4191 Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2020 II Spanglish code-switching in Latin pop music: functions of English and audience reception A corpus and questionnaire study Magdalena Jade Monteagudo Master’s thesis in English Language - ENG4191 Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2020 © Magdalena Jade Monteagudo 2020 Spanglish code-switching in Latin pop music: functions of English and audience reception Magdalena Jade Monteagudo http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract The concept of code-switching (the use of two languages in the same unit of discourse) has been studied in the context of music for a variety of language pairings. The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

  • Fenomena Munculnya Interlanguage (Inglish) Di Indonesia
    FENOMENA MUNCULNYA INTERLANGUAGE (INGLISH) DI INDONESIA Rosita Ambarwati FPBS IKIP PGRI Madiun Abstrak The process of learning a new language is difficult. Even so, when the second language is finally formed, the language would have a continuous effect on the person’s mother tongue ability (Association for Psychological Science, 2009). On the other side, someone who is learning a new language, would also have trouble to understand the grammar in translation. In the translation skill, they move from the original language to the literal gloss before it reaches the new language (Saygin, 2001). Both sides show the same symptom, the birth of new terms that are actually combinations from both language elements. Some nations, suffer some sort of desperation where it is so difficult to learn English that leads them to a compromise. The compromise gave birth to numerous and vary new vocabularies, and almost can be recognizable as a language. Key words : Interlanguage, Inglish Pendahuluan Belajar bahasa baru itu sulit. Semakin sulit seiring meningkatnya usia. Walau demikian, saat bahasa kedua telah terwujud, bahasa tersebut akan berpengaruh sinambung pada kemampuan seseorang berbahasa asli (Association for Psychological Science, 2009). Di sisi lain, seorang yang mempelajari bahasa baru, akan mengalami kesulitan memahami grammar dan menterjemahkan. Dalam ilmu penerjemahan, mereka berangkat dari bahasa asli menuju ke literal gloss sebelum sampai ke bahasa baru tersebut (Saygin, 2001). Kedua sisi menunjukkan gejala yang sama, munculnya sekumpulan istilah yang merupakan perpaduan dari unsur-unsur kedua bahasa. Sebagian bangsa, mengalami sebuah keputusasaan, begitu sulitnya mempelajari bahasa Inggris sehingga membawa mereka pada kompromi. Kompromi ini memunculkan kosakata yang luar biasa banyak dan beragam, yang hampir dapat diakui sebagai bahasa.

  • (University College London) the Subjunctive Conundrum Plenary II, Thursday, 9:00 – 10:00, Room 1010
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Huddersfield Repository ABSTRACTS OF TALKS AND WORKSHOP PAPERS Bas Aarts (University College London) The subjunctive conundrum Plenary II, Thursday, 9:00 – 10:00, Room 1010 The view espoused in Palmer (1987: 46) that “the notion of a subjunctive mood is a simple transfer from Latin and has no place in English grammar” is generally accepted in most modern descriptive frameworks. But the consequences of accepting such a view have not been sufficiently appreciated in the literature. In this paper I will discuss a number of approaches to the English subjunctive, and I will argue that none of them deals adequately with the fallout of denying the existence of an inflectional subjunctive in English. I will propose that English subjunctive clauses can be described by making reference to the notion of Subsective Gradience (Aarts 2007), and that the grammar of English should recognise a ‘subjunctive clause type’, along with declaratives, interrogatives, imperatives and exclamatives.

Elsbieta Adamczyk (University of Poznan) On morphological restructuring in the early English nominal system: the fate of Old English consonantal inflection Wednesday, 12:00 – 12:30, Room 1016 The paper investigates the morphological shape of the early English nominal inflection, focusing on the developments which contributed to its later restructuring. A prominent feature of the early English inflection was an evident tendency, revealed by nouns considered minor (unproductive) to adopt the inflectional endings of the productive types. This marked inclination of some nouns can be particularly well seen in consonantal stems, such as r-stems (deriving from PIE *-es/-os stems).

The sociological re-imagination 65 References 68 Durkheim and the Internet: On sociolinguistics and the sociological imagination Jan Blommaert A man with one theory is lost (Bertolt Brecht) Abstract Sociolinguists have rarely attempted to draw the social-theoretical implications from their findings, and in spite of the tremendous theoretical relevance of sociolinguistic insights, most sociolinguists themselves continue to rely on established, mainstream forms of sociological imagination – often at odds with their own results. In this text, I explore the ways in which contemporary sociolinguistics can contribute to a new sociological imagination, and I use Emile Durkheim’s work as the take-off point for this exercise. Durkheim – one of the founding fathers of sociology – emphasized the crucial importance of normativity in his work, and saw normativity itself as “the social fact”. Normativity was collective and compelling, and thus provided the glue to hold diverse segments of society together in forms of social cohesion and integration. His view of the social fact became the foundation for defining the very possibility of sociology, and by extension sociolinguistics as well.

This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/). Applied Linguistics Papers 25/ 2, 2018, 37–51 The Dialectics of Hinglish: A Perspective Nidhi NEMA Bhopal School of Social Sciences & Affiliated Barkatullah University E-mail: [email protected] Jagtar Kaur CHAWLA Bhopal School of Social Sciences & Affiliated Barkatullah University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In India, the phenomenon of Hinglish has rapidly emerged from being a fashionable style of speech to a significant force instrumental in bringing about a major paradigm shift in social demography. Globalization and economic liberalization has served as catalysts to amplify this uniform communication code, which is currently blurring the linguistic barriers in a country speaking 780 dialects. Hinglish is redefining the cultural conventions in marketing/advertisement, Bollywood, and communication styles present in social media and the Internet. Its claim to be a proper language is substantiated by its acknowledgement on prestigious literary forums. While the concept is welcomed by both the marketplace and the masses as a beneficial symbiotic experience, it has also left the stakeholders of standard language, both Hindi and English, fretting and fuming. Amidst all the celebrations and concerns, the corpus of Hinglish is constantly widening and evolving because it is has been internalized, and not imposed, by the society as its own creation. The language accommodates diversity, lends flexibility, and suits the temperament of modern India.

    KEY TOPICS IN SOCIOLINGUISTICS Series editor: Rajend Mesthrie This new series focuses on the main topics of study in sociolinguistics today. It consists of accessible yet challenging accounts of the most important issues to consider when examining the relationship between language and society. Some topics have been the subject of sociolinguistic study for many years, and are here re-examined in the light of new developments in the field; others are issues of growing importance that have not so far been given a sustained treatment. Written by leading experts, the books in the series are designed to be used on courses and in seminars, and include suggestions for further reading and a helpful glossary.
