Grammaticalization Processes in Non-Standard Varieties: Do LOT Winter School 2007, 15-19 January Variation matters! Friday, 16.00-18.30, Room GN6 Bernd Kortmann The historical dimension: grammaticalization processes in non-standard varieties: do Do AS A TENSE AND ASPECT MARKER IN VARIETIES OF ENGLISH 1. Why interesting? 2. Do as a tense and aspect marker in varieties of English 2.1 Progressive 2.2 Habitual 2.3 Perfect and related categories 2.4 Unstressed tense carrier in affirmatives 2.5 Summary 3. Do/doen/tun as TAM markers in Germanic 4. T/A do in English varieties from a typological perspective: Grammaticalization paths 5. Conclusion 1. Why interesting? • (a) with regard to grammaticalized uses of do: interesting range of variation across varieties of English, first and foremost in the tense and aspect (T/A) domain (-> focus of today's talk): completive/perfect (1a,b), progressive (1c-f), habitual (1g,h), unstressed tense carrier in affirmatives (1i,j); (1) a. a don klin di hos gud. ('I have cleaned the house well.'; Belizean Creole) b. I don know you stupid ('I have (always) known…'; Trinidad Creole) c. ??Don't be talking like that. (IrE; EF, but at best marginally progressive in meaning) d. Do rain, don't it? ('It's raining, doesn't it'; very trad. SW; 18th/19th c. SW) e. Gregg duh hide. ('Gregg is hiding.'; older form in Gullah Creole) f. i di go maket. ('I am going to the market'; Cameroonian Pidgin) g. He do/did go to the cinema every week. (WelE) h. Two lorries of them [i.e. turf] now in the year we do burn. (IrE) i. This man what do own this,... (SW; West Somerset) j. I did see thee this morning, [thee]' know (SW; Wiltshire) first task: 'mapping' this cross-varietal variation of do as tense and aspect marker (section 2); only cursorily today: DO as mood marker in Germanic (section 3) other non-standard uses of grammaticalized do in varieties of English: (2) a. invariant don't in negation: She don't come. b. do as conjunction ('otherwise'; East Anglia; Trudgill 1995: 139-142): You lot must have moved it, do I wouldn't have fell in. c. morphological distinction main verb – AUX: done – did He done it, didn't he? (cf. also in Low German; Rohdenburg 2002) (b) this variation is fascinating to judge against cross-linguistic variation in the TMA domain (e.g. Dahl 1985, Bybee/Dahl 1989, Bybee et al. 1994, Dahl 2000); an approach as yet hardly ever adopted (but cf. Gachelin 1997; related in spirit: van der Auwera 1999, Siemund 2001, 2002; Schneider 2000) 2 (in parentheses note: do-periphrasis in Standard English is rare enough in the world's languages (cf. van der Auwera 1999: e.g. no analogue in the world for using a do-AUX in questions; for negation: virtually no analogue in Europe (cf. Bernini/Ramat 1996); emphatic positives: more widespread, e.g. in Gmc & Celtic (especially Welsh)) general context of this topic: Freiburg project on English dialect syntax • history of do as tense and aspect marker: do-periphrasis in general (e.g. Stein 1990, 1992, Denison 1993, Garrett 1998; Baekken 1999), Celtic substrate vs. dialectal superstrate debate with regard to Irish English, AAVE, English-based pidgins and creoles (e.g. Harris 1986, Montgomery 2001, Tristram 1997, van der Auwera/Genee fc.) • the story of do in English: fascinating from the following perspectives: grammaticalization, variation, typology, history and spread of English (e.g. superstrate-substrate debate) 2. Do as a tense and aspect marker in varieties of English • "It emerges that a number of non-standard dialects have a rather richer range of aspectual distinctions available than does the standard dialect."(Trudgill/Chambers 1991:145) • "Pidgins and creoles are often said to differ from European superstrate languages in having aspect-prominent verbal marking, rather than tense-prominent systems…" (Patrick 1999: 169; cf. also Parkvall 2000: 87); • in fact: with one exception (section 2.4), the T/A marker do is used exclusively for the marking of aspect in varieties of English: PROG (2.1), HAB (2.2), PFCT (2.3) 2.1 Progressive • virtually non-existent outside English-based pidgins and creoles (cf. (1e,f) and (3)); of all three aspectual categories lowest degree of grammaticalization (PROG-marking optional and use of DO form as PROG-marker optional) (3) a. You da sleepin?

A dè wash plet (Nigerian Pidgin; Faraclas 1996: 204) 'I am washing the dishes.' g. I still de(z) look (Sea Island Creole; Cunningham 1992: 49) • British Isles: remember the shaky (IrE) or very traditional (SW) examples (1c,d); more frequent in EModE and older stages of SW dialects (but even for SW unclear evidence; cf. Klemola 1996: 122f.): so in principle available as a superstrate model 2.2 Habitual • strongest aspectual category in all varieties with T/A do • PRS do(es)/do be vastly preferred over did (did: extremely rare in IrE and in SW more restricted than invariant PRS form do); in several P&Cs: doz both in present and past contexts • British Isles: most distinctive aspectual property of IrE (4a-c); distinctive also of southern (i.e. early anglicised) dialects of WelE (4d) and SW dialects (4e,f); (occ. in other dialects) 3 -> British Isles powerful superstrate model (especially IrE; Harris 1986; note also: model for P & C doz not available in SW; and yet Gachelin (1997: 42): SW likely starting point for aspectual do in Atlantic creoles) (4) a.

  • Southern Bahamian: Transported African American Vernacular English Or Transported Gullah?
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Southern Bahamian: Transported African American Vernacular English or Transported Gullah? Stephanie Hackert University of Augsberg1 John A. Holm University of Coimbra ABSTRACT The relationship between Bahamian Creole English (BahCE) and Gullah and their historical connection with African American Vernacular English (AAVE) have long been a matter of dispute. In the controversy about the putative creole origins of AAVE, it was long thought that Gullah was the only remnant of a once much more widespread North American Plantation Creole and southern BahCE constituted a diaspora variety of the latter. If, however, as argued in the 1990s, AAVE never was a creole itself, whence the creole nature of southern BahCE? This paper examines the settlement history of the Bahamas and the American South to argue that BahCE and Gullah are indeed closely related, so closely in fact, that southern BahCE must be regarded as a diaspora variety of the latter rather than of AAVE. INTRODUCTION English (AAVE) spoken by the slaves Lexical and syntactic studies of Bahamian brought in by Loyalists after the Creole English (Holm, 1982; Shilling, 1977) Revolutionary War that predominated over led Holm (1983) to conclude that on southern the variety that had developed largely on the Bahamian islands such as Exuma, it was northern Bahamian islands. This ascendancy mainland African American Vernacular developed “…for the simple reason that it had 1 Stephanie Hackert, Applied English Linguistics, University of Augsburg, Germany.

  • Pidgins and Creoles
    Chapter 7: Contact Languages I: Pidgins and Creoles `The Negroes who established themselves on the Djuka Creek two centuries ago found Trio Indians living on the Tapanahoni. They maintained continuing re- lations with them....The trade dialect shows clear traces of these circumstances. It consists almost entirely of words borrowed from Trio or from Negro English' (Verslag der Toemoekhoemak-expeditie, by C.H. De Goeje, 1908). `The Nez Perces used two distinct languages, the proper and the Jargon, which differ so much that, knowing one, a stranger could not understand the other. The Jargon is the slave language, originating with the prisoners of war, who are captured in battle from the various neighboring tribes and who were made slaves; their different languages, mixing with that of their masters, formed a jargon....The Jargon in this tribe was used in conversing with the servants and the court language on all other occasions' (Ka-Mi-Akin: Last Hero of the Yakimas, 2nd edn., by A.J. Splawn, 1944, p. 490). The Delaware Indians `rather design to conceal their language from us than to properly communicate it, except in things which happen in daily trade; saying that it is sufficient for us to understand them in that; and then they speak only half sentences, shortened words...; and all things which have only a rude resemblance to each other, they frequently call by the same name' (Narratives of New Netherland 1609-1664, by J. Franklin Jameson, 1909, p. 128, quoting a comment made by the Dutch missionary Jonas Micha¨eliusin August 1628). The list of language contact typologies at the beginning of Chapter 4 had three entries under the heading `extreme language mixture': pidgins, creoles, and bilingual mixed lan- guages.

    BLUEFIELDS OR BLUUFIILZ Silvina Woods Miss Lady, you need wa taxi?” My head jerked aroun seeking the voice from which !hose words carne. couldn’t believe it! The words, !he intonation, the phrasingit sounded just like !he way I talked! “Oava ya, Miss-da mee aksin ifyu need wa taxi.” 1 peered through the mesh border, which separated arriving passengers from the wai- ting park area at the Bluefields airport. And there he was. A young, outspoken Nicaraguan taxi driver was energetically waving at me. He saw me as a potential fare - 1 just gaped and gaped at him. To me, he could have been my brother, uncle, boyfriend (okay, okay, except for the age difference) or fellow citizen of my home country of Belize. Not only did he look like me he sounded likeme. Well, almos!. The Nikaragwan Kriol (Nicaraguan Creole) he was speaking had slight grammatical and phraseology differences from the Bileez Kriol (Belize Creole) 1 speak. For example, his “da mee aksin ifyu need wa taxi” would be said in Bileez Kriol as “da mee di aks if yu need wahn taxi.” Belize is a multicultural country of sorne 250,000 people located north of Nicaragua, just above Honduras. lts eastern border faces the Caribbean Sea. 1 was in Bluefields to assist with a Kriol language appreciation and trai- ning workshop for sorne 35 language teachers who taught in schools situated in Nicaragua’s Atlantic Coas! (sorry, Caribbean Coas!). The week-long sessions were held at URACCAN’s southern campus (Universidad de las Regiones Autónomas de la Costa Caribe Nicaragüense).

  • Rhotic Production in the Spanish of Bluefields, Nicaragua, a Language Contact Situation
    Rhotic production in the Spanish of Bluefields, Nicaragua, a language contact situation DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Karen Lopez Alonzo Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Terrell A. Morgan, Co-Advisor Dr. Rebeka Campos-Astorkiza, Co-advisor Dr. Anna Babel Copyrighted by Karen Lopez Alonzo 2016 Abstract This dissertation researches the production of rhotics in the Spanish of Bluefields, Nicaragua. This is a unique language contact situation between Spanish, the most recent language in the region, English/Kriol, Miskitu, and Sumo/Ulwa. Realizations of non- canonic rhotics have been reported in the Spanish of Bluefields speakers whose first language is not Spanish, and tap and retroflex realizations have been observed instead of the standard trill. The tap and the trill are recognized as normative in Spanish, and they are contrastive intervocalically. The rhotic observations in Bluefields are based on impressionistic descriptions (Lipski 2007; Rosales Solis 2008). Thus, to confirm and expand these earlier reports, I present a detailed sociophonetic study and explore the effect of different factors on rhotic production. I analyze linguistic factors (stress and phonological context) and sociolinguistic factors (first language, age and education level) that may influence the variation of these sounds. I study the distribution of the types of rhotics in four different positions: 1) Intervocalic (e.g. caro ‘expensive’ [ˈka.ɾo] vs. carro ‘car’ [ˈka.ro]); 2) The beginning of the word (e.g. ramo ‘bunch’ [ˈra.mo]); 3) Complex onsets (e.g.

OLIEN WERE THE MISKITO INDIANS BLACK? ETHNICITY, POLITICS, AND PLAGIARISM IN THE MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY The anthropological research of Ephraim George Squier, a nineteenth centu- ry scholar, diplomat, journalist, and entrepreneur, has come under scrutiny in several articles in recent years (Barnhart 1983, Mould de Pease 1986, Olien 1985). Squier became famous, in the 1840s, for his publications on North American archaeology. During the 1850s, he published extensively on Cen- tral America, as a result of having been appointed U.S. charge d'affaires to Central America from 1849 to 1850. Later he published a book and a number of articles on Peru, based on his experiences while serving as U.S. Commis- sioner to Peru in 1863-4. This article will focus on Squier's work in the 1850s, when his publications were concerned with Central America. In Squier's writings on Central America, political motives often dominated over scholarly research and virtually all of his publications include political propaganda. In particular, data that applied to the Miskito Indians of Nicaragua and Honduras, and their kings, were distorted (Olien 1985: 117- 125). One type of distortion, or misrepresentation, involved his consistent portrayal of the Miskito Indians as blacks. One of the Squier's Central American writings was the novel Waikna; or, adventures on the Mosquito Shore, that he published in 1855 under the pseudonym Samuel A.
