Walter HÖLBLING 2009 Meinen lieben Eltern und Doris, Josi, Christian und Florian sowie meiner geliebten Eri The dream: to know a foreign (alien) language and yet not to understand it: to perceive the difference in it without that difference ever being recuperated by the superficial society of discourse, communication or vulgarity; to know, positively refracted in a new language, the impossibilities of our own; to learn the systematics of the inconceivable; to undo our own “reality” under the effect of other formulations, other syntaxes; to discover certain unsuspected positions of the subject in the utterance, to displace the subject’s topology; in a word, to descend into the untranslatable, to experience its shock without ever muffling it, until everything Occidental in us totters and the rights of the “father tongue” vacillate […] - Roland Barthes, Empire of Signs Table of Contents Acknowledgments……………………………………………………………………. i Introduction ………………………………………………………………………….. 1 1.

  • Chapter Eight Anglicisms
    CHAPTER EIGHT ANGLICISMS The phenomenon of the anglicism in Canadian French is an ancient one: it goes all the way back to the earliest contacts in the Eighteenth century. It is inevitable that languages in contact will borrow from each other, and Canadian English has also borrowed extensively from Canadian French: words such as portage, lacrosse, cache, and prairie, borrowed originally from Canadian French, are now part of standard English, and known around the world. Marcel Juneau (1977:49) reports that he estimated that there are some 1000 words in the Dictionary of Canadianisms that are borrowings from Canadian French. Many of the anglicisms in Canadian French are immediately noticeable, especially those that replace items of standard French vocabulary; others are more subtle, such as the use of a French word or expression in an English way: année académique for année scolaire, for example. Still others may only be spotted by highly trained observers such as Jean Darbelnet, with an extensive linguistic background in both languages, and a vast knowledge of the difference between European and North American usages. Anglicisms are also considered a problem, because those that are not used by other speakers of French are not readily understood, and may thus lead to incomprehension and confusion. The problem has frequently been grossly exaggerated, however: studies of Canadian French have shown that average conversations heard on the street contain only about 1% of anglicisms. We have already seen that certain typical pronunciations — the laxing of high vowels in closed syllables — has been quite erroneously blamed on the influence of English, and many items of grammar and lexicon have been labelled anglicisms that are likewise not from English at all.

    J. Fac. Edu. Saga Univ. Vol. 16, No. 1 (2011)Denglisch143〜148(= Deutsch + englisch) :Wenn Sprachen miteinander „kollidieren“ 143 Denglisch (＝Deutsch＋Englisch) : Wenn Sprachen miteinander „kollidieren“ Denglish (＝German＋English) : When Languages Collide Guido OEBEL Summary Denglisch - Denglish - Neudeutsch :Some people claim that the words aboveall mean the same thing, but they donʼt. even the term “Denglisch” alone hasseveral different meanings. Since the word “Denglis(c)h” is not found in German dictionaries (even recent ones), and “Neudeutsch” isvaguely defined as “die deutsche Sprache der neueren Zeit” (“the German language of more recent times”), it can be difficulttocome up with a gooddefinition. Key words : German - english - Anglicisms - Language Policy - Linguistics But here are five different definitions for Denglisch (or Denglish)１) : s Denglisch 1 : The useof english words in German,with an attempttoincorporate them into German grammar. Examples: downloaden - ich habe den File gedownloadet/downgeloadet. - Heute haben wir ein Meeting mit den Consultants.* s Denglisch 2 : The (excessive) useof english words, phrases, or slogans in German advertising. Example : A recent German magazine ad for the German airline Lufthansa prominently displays the slogan : “Thereʼs no better way to fly.” s Denglisch 3 : The (bad) influences of english spellingan dpunctuation on German spellingan d punctuation. One pervasiveexample : The incorrect useof an apostrophe in German possessive forms, as in Karlʼs Schnellimbiss. Thiscommon error can be seen even on signs andpainted on the sideof trucks.Itis even seen for plurals endingin s.Another exampleis agrowingten dency to drop the hyphen (English-style) in German compound words: Karl Marx Straße vs Karl-Marx-Straße. s Denglisch 4 : The mixingo f englishand German vocabulary (in sentences) by english-speaking expatswhose German skills are weak.

For instance many Canadian French Parisian French. For a difference in the way they speak, whether you suppress articles: “à ce soir” (literal translation:" see you instance, /a/ and /ɑ/, /ɛ/ and /ɛː/, /ø/ and /ə/, know French or not. While the difference in accent this night"), would become “à soir”, dropping the article /ɛ/̃ and /œ̃ / are pronounced different in Quebec is the most noticeable difference between both “ce" ("this"). French while it is not the case anymore in standard French. languages, linguists argue that there are way more -Many Québec French also remove prepositions from features that differentiate French and Québec their utterances. For French. example,:"voici le chien dont tu dois t’occuper" (this is the dog you must take care of"), would become: "voici le chien à t'occuper", (this is the dog to take care of). EXAMPLE OF THE DIFFERENCES QUICK HISTORICAL FACTS: 7,2 million Canadians are French speaking natives (20% of the Canadian population). Although English is the most spoken language u Canada, Quebec French VOCABULARY DIFFERENCES: is known for being a French speaking province since the 17th century.

  • Transliteration Or Loan Translation: Constraints on English Loanwords' Integration Into Mandarin Chinese
    Paper Transliteration or Loan Translation: Constraints on English loanwords’ integration into Mandarin Chinese by Anna Tian & Ad Backus [email protected] [email protected] January 2013 Transliteration or Loan Translation: Constraints on English Loanwords’ Integration into Mandarin Chinese Anna Tian & Ad Backus Abstract----Lexical borrowing deserves serious professional attention because borrowed words can constitute a major part of the lexicon in a language. Chinese loanwords of English origin can be roughly divided into three groups: transliteration, semantic loan and a combination of the two. This paper gives a brief sketch of the three different kinds of loanwords and goes further to point out that semantic loan or loan translation tends to be the eventual form for words borrowed from English, for the reasons that Chinese is monosyllabic, that the Chinese writing system is morphemic, and that it has little to do with its sound system. Direct replication of the pronunciations of English words is not compatible with the coding structure of Chinese, which is why transliterations tend to be replaced by loan translations or semantic loans. To support this hypothesis, this paper presents a data-based analysis of 55 borrowed lexical items as found in 80 articles from a Chinese newspaper and a magazine. The findings show that the token frequency of transliterated loanwords is lower than that of semantic loans. Key words----loanwords, transliteration, semantic loan, loan translation, integration, constraint 1. INTRODUCTION English, an Indo-European language, is the most widely spoken language in the world. Chinese, a Sino-Tibetan language, has the largest number of speakers in the world.

In this paper, its influence on Italian will be examined, starting from the analysis of direct cultural contact between England and Italy, the effect of mediator languages, such as French, and the effect of borrowing from Latin into English. Italian is a Romance language and derives a great portion of its vocabulary from Latin but English has abundant words of Romance origin as well, which can cause the appearance of English-Italian false friends. Italian has borrowed many words from English, predominantly from the semantic fields of economy, business, politics, science, technology, marketing, and sports. Hence, the process of borrowing is pivotal in examining the influence of English on Italian in the context of this work. In addition, the syntax, morphology, grammar, phonology and orthography of English and Italian differ which affects the process of borrowing, and will thus be analysed.
