  • Materials for Translating English Into German with In- Dexes of Words and Explanatory Notes
    EiffclSriNTO ääi>i£l{)EiLB£:RG Julius Groos, Publisher, Heidelberg. Gaspey-Otto-Sauer's method for the learning of Modern languages. „Mit jeder neuerlernten Sprache gewinnt man eine neue Seele." Karl V. The textbooks of the Gaspey-Otto-Sauer method have, within the last ten years, acquired a universal reputation, increasing in pro- portion as a knowledge of living languages has become a necessity of modern life. The chief points of advantage, by which they com- pare favorably with thousands of similar books, are lowness of price and good appearance, the happy union of theory and practice, the clear scientific basis of the grammar proper combined with prac- tical conversational exercises, and the system, here conceived for the first time and consistently carried out, by which the pupil is really taught to speak and write the foreign language. To this method is entirely due the enormous success with which the Gaspey-Otto-Sauer textbooks have met; most other gram- mars either content themselves with giving the theoretical exposition of the grammatical forms and trouble the pupil with a confused mass of the most far-fetched irregularities and exceptions without ever applying them, or go to the other extreme, and simply teach him to repeat in a parrot-like manner a few colloquial phrases without letting him grasp the real genius of the foreign language. The superiority of the Gaspey-Otto-Sauer textbooks is most clearly proved by the unanimous opinion of the press in all quarters of the Globe, by the numerous editions they have hitherto passed through, by the success attending the books based on this method in other foreign languages and lastly even by the frequent attempts at imitation, plagiarism and fraudulent impressions.

  • The Development of the Indefinite Article in Medieval
    1 The Development of the Indefinite Article in Medieval and Golden-Age Spanish Julia Pozas Loyo Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen Mary, University of London January, 2010 2 Abstract Unitary cardinals are a common source for indefinite markers. This thesis is a quantitative diachronic study of the development of Spanish un, from its cardinal value to its use as an indefinite article. Based on a corpus comprising texts from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century, I present an analysis and chronology of the main changes undergone by un throughout this period, notably its increasing use as a marker of non-specific indefinites, and its further incorporation in generic noun phrases and predicates. Additionally, I demonstrate that the development of the plural indefinite deter- miner unos is, with a few restrictions, parallel to that of its singular counterpart, not only in its increasing frequency, but also in its introduction into new contexts. Furthermore, I present a comparison between un and alg´un in terms of specificity and conclude that although there are evident links between them, both being indefinite determiners derived from Latin unus¯ , they have always had different functional domains. Finally, I show that one of the consequences of the incorporation of un into generic contexts is the rise of the so-called impersonal uno, and explain that this event is crucial to explain the disappearance of another generic pronoun, omne, whose last examples are found in the sixteenth century, that is, precisely the moment where the first instances of impersonal uno occur.

  • Puerto Rican Spanish: a Case of Partial Restructuring
    PUERTO RICAN SPANISH: A CASE OF PARTIAL RESTRUCTURING Maurizio Santoro Queensborough Community College-CUNY 1.0 The origin of Puerto Rican Spanish 1.1. Bickerton, Lawton, Otheguy, Holm: four different perspectives Bickerton and Escalante do not agree with the idea that no true Spanish-based Creole exists in the Western Hemisphere by identifying a dialect of northern Colombia, Palenquero as an authentic Creole. This dialect “may be a survival of a more widely distributed Creole...... the survivor of a Spanish-based Creole spoken in many parts of the Caribbean during the 16th and 17th centuries” (262). In other words, they postulated the existence of a Creole throughout the Spanish Caribbean, including Puerto Rico, during the colonial period, and, consequently of a linguistic situation in no way different from that of the French- and English-speaking areas, except in so far as Caribbean vernacular Spanish had moved in the direction of the superstrate language to such an extent that few, if any, traces of Creole structures survive. Similarly, Lawton describes Puerto Rican Spanish as a real Creole, even though it did not historically undergo pidginization. The reasons, he claims, lay in the system of colonization used by the Spaniards, whose colonial policies differed from those of the French and English. The Spaniards stressed the early conversion of African slaves to Christianity and permitted their social assimilation. However, Lawton believes that PRS could still be considered a creolized language, even though it developed from a situation of language shift, rather than from a pidgin. The two major contact languages were English and Spanish, producing a creolized language whose intonation is Spanish, whose lexicon is drawn from both English and Spanish, and whose inflectional morphology shares features of both.
