Alicante Journal of English Studies 30 (2017): 5-22 Introduction: Gaining insights into English as a contact language and its diffusion Ignacio M. Palacios Martínez Universidade de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] José A. Sánchez Fajardo Universidad de Alicante [email protected] The aims of this volume are twofold: to contribute to the study of English as a contact language and its various manifestations in World Englishes, and to explore the causes and effects of the influence and diffusion of English in several languages, with particular reference to Spanish. As Schreier and Hundt (2013: 1) have noted, the English language “has been contact derived from its very beginnings” and to this we can add that due to its rapid and far-reaching extension, leading to its current role as a global contact language (Görlach, 2002), it continues to be closely connected to a wide range of communities of speakers and languages across the world. In fact, as Onysko (2016: 192) claims, “the notion of language contact emerges as a valid candidate for being a unifying characteristic of all Englishes”. The effects of this language contact can sometimes be seen in the influence of the substrate(s) language on new varieties of English, bringing about changes and innovations in the system. However, not all changes and innovations can be attributed exclusively to the role of the substrate element, since cognitive and transfer processes may also play a part here. Furthermore, sociolinguistic factors such as language attitudes and group identity might also be in operation. In broad terms, the outcomes of language contact can be seen in a number of contact-induced phenomena, including borrowing, phonological change, language transfer, relexification, code mixing, creole formation and code-switching, among others (Sankoff, 2001; Winford, 2005). The contributions in this volume will thus address the following issues of English as a contact language and its diffusion: syntactic complexity and language contact in traditional and New Englishes, English as a lingua franca in ESP contexts, contact- induced variation in clausal verb complementation in World Englishes, factors determining the degree of rhoticity in Expanding Circle Englishes, language contact in Gibraltar English, the influence of English in Arabic word-formation, the presence of English on internet forums and in the description of fashion and cosmetic products This document is under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0) 6 Alicante Journal of English Studies addressed to speakers of Spanish, the dynamics of English/Spanish code-switching and anglicisms in twenty-first century Spanish press. In the light of this, we have organised the chapters into two main sections. The first will deal with theoretical and empirical issues in the study of English contact in World Englishes, and the second will reflect new trends and methodologies in the understanding of anglicized lexis, looking at particular genres and different languages where the presence of English is clearly observed. 1.

  • Holocaust Archaeology: Archaeological Approaches to Landscapes of Nazi Genocide and Persecution
    HOLOCAUST ARCHAEOLOGY: ARCHAEOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO LANDSCAPES OF NAZI GENOCIDE AND PERSECUTION BY CAROLINE STURDY COLLS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The landscapes and material remains of the Holocaust survive in various forms as physical reminders of the suffering and persecution of this period in European history. However, whilst clearly defined historical narratives exist, many of the archaeological remnants of these sites remain ill-defined, unrecorded and even, in some cases, unlocated. Such a situation has arisen as a result of a number of political, social, ethical and religious factors which, coupled with the scale of the crimes, has often inhibited systematic search. This thesis will outline how a non- invasive archaeological methodology has been implemented at two case study sites, with such issues at its core, thus allowing them to be addressed in terms of their scientific and historical value, whilst acknowledging their commemorative and religious significance.

La primera fase, que consistió en pintar, colocar una moqueta y sillas nuevas, reformar las mesas y cambiar el aspecto de la zona de recepción, ya fue anunciada el pasado verano. Esta segunda fase, que ha consistido en un área de lectura de periódicos con sillones y mobiliario nuevo para la sección de niños, ya ha sido finalizada. La dirección de la biblioteca también está muy orgullosa de anunciar que, gracias a una generosa subvención concedida por la Fundación John Mackintosh (John Mackintosh Trust), ha adquirido libros educativos y publicaciones para la biblioteca de referencia por valor de 10.000 libras. La selección de estos libros fue consultada con el Departamento de Educación (Department of Education). El Ministerio financiará la compra de libros de otras categorías.

  • Nazwiska Wrocławian Z Parafii Pod Wezwaniem Św. Michała Archanioła (Od 1946 Do 1996 Roku)
    Onomastica Slavogermanica XXX Wrocław 2011 magdAlenA kowalczyk Wrocław Nazwiska wrocławian z parafii pod wezwaniem św. Michała Archanioła (od 1946 do 1996 roku) Słowa klucze: nazwiska, onimy, klasyfikacja nazwisk, frekwencja nazwisk, podstawy nazwiskotwórcze Przedmiotem artykułu są nazwiska mieszkańców z parafii pod wezwaniem św. Michała Archanioła we Wrocławiu. Materiał stanowią nazwiska z ksiąg chrztów z lat 1946−1996, spisywane co 5 (do 1956 roku), a następnie co 10 lat. Zebrałam razem 2279 antroponimów. Celem jest sklasyfikowanie i przedsta- wienie frekwencji nazwisk, ukazanie bogactwa i różnorodności podstaw na- zwiskotwórczych. Antroponimy są świadectwem naszej kultury, mentalności i osobowości. Poznanie ich motywacji pozwala na lepsze zrozumienie tego, jak ludzie interpretują świat, jak postrzegają zjawiska pozajęzykowe i wyrażają je w onimach. 1. Klasyfikacja nazwisk Klasyfikacja, która stanowi podstawę artykułu, opiera się na typologii za- wartej w pierwszym tomie pracy Zofii Kowalik-KaletyHistoria nazwisk polskich na tle społecznym i obyczajowym (XII−XV wiek) z 2007 roku. Autorka wydziela 6 typów nazwisk: odmiejscowe, patronimiczne, odapelatywne, odimienne, od- etniczne oraz obcego pochodzenia. W mojej klasyfikacji znalazła się jeszcze jed- na grupa — nazwiska homonimiczne1, które wyróżniłam ze względu na niemoż- ność odtworzenia okoliczności towarzyszących powstaniu nazwiska. 1 W onimach tych „można wskazać dwa lub więcej możliwych objaśnień etymologiczno- -motywacyjnych” (Jaracz 2001: 396).

  • 1 Impressions from the Rock of Gibraltar
    IMPRESSIONS FROM THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR: THE JOURNAL OF A TRAVELLING TEACHER (AUGUST 29-DECEMBER 3, 2009) J.A. McLean 2010 Good to Go: August 20, 2009 Within only nine days left before departure, things have fallen into place for Gibraltar. Janet Waterfield, a kind friend of English Bahá’í, Ann Dymond, informed me by telephone that she has a flat available to rent at 503 Neptune House, Marina Bay. The good news is that the flat is available for the whole three months duration of my stay. Janet recently made the acquaintance of senior believer, Ann, who was the first Bahá’í who came to Gibraltar in Holy Year 1992, the centenary of Bahá’u’lláh’s ascension. I have never been to that small, densely populated (7 square kilometres) overseas territory of Great Britain, but I understand that Marina Bay is a fine, central location. Sam Benoit, a recent university graduate and son of old friends, Wendy James and Bernard Benoit, is going to sublet my furnished apartment. This will be a great help since I won’t have to carry two rents at the same time Any pioneer or travel-teacher should not forget that serving the Faith, although it brings confirmations and rewards, can also bring tests and difficulties. They are a built-in component of service. I suppose that if Bahá’u’lláh did not find that His believers had the capacity for spiritual growth and service, He would not put us to the test at all. But as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá has written, these tests prove to be either stumbling-blocks or stepping-stones, just as we make them.
