Constraints on Structual Borrowing in a Multilingual Contact Situation Abstract Many principles of structural borrowing have been proposed, all under qualitative theories. Some argue that linguistic conditions must be met for borrowing to occur (‘universals’); others argue that aspects of the socio-demographic situation are more relevant than linguistic considerations (e.g. Thomason and Kaufman 1988). This dissertation evaluates the roles of both linguistic and social factors in structural borrowing from a quantitative, variationist perspective via a diachronic and ethnographic examination of the language contact situation on Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, where the berian creole, Papiamentu, is in contact with Spanish, Dutch, and English. Data are fro m texts (n=171) and sociolinguistic interviews (n=129). The progressive, the passive construction, and focus fronting are examined. In addition, variationist methods were applied in a novel way to the system of verbal morphology. The degree to which borrowed morphemes are integrated into Papiamentu was noted at several samplings over a 100-year time span.

Wetenschappers, intellectuelen, schrijvers en recensenten functioneren niet langer vanzelfsprekend als de smaakdeskundigen van onze cultuur. Literaire kwaliteit kan worden beschreven als een constructie, als een keurmerk dat door een selecte groep mensen wordt toegekend aan een werk: de canon is allesbehalve een statisch Pantheon, het is veel eerder een tijdgebonden product. Toch lijkt er zoiets te bestaan als een behoefte aan richtsnoeren. Op internet, op televisie, in kranten en tijdschriften treft men nog altijd naar voren geschoven of zelfverklaarde critici aan: fijnproevers die het uitgelezen product aanprijzen of naar de gootsteen verwijzen. Laten consumenten zich leiden door deze kenners, en zo niet, hoe bepalen ze hun keuze dan? Wat is dat onderscheid tussen hoge en lage cultuur en bovendien: hoe ontstaat het? De vraag naar kwaliteit is nog altijd relevant. Wie die vraag stelt stuit onder andere op filosofische, literatuurwetenschappelijke en sociologische vraagstukken. En op verhitte gemoederen. Kwaliteit toekennen of blootgesteld worden aan het kwaliteitsoordeel van anderen heeft namelijk alles te maken met status en erkenning, met kapitaal. Dit dubbelnummer van Vooys, het eerste van de negenentwintigste jaargang, stelt de bovengenoemde vragen. De begrippen hoge cultuur, lage cultuur en kwaliteit vormen de inzet van het spel; tijd om de kandidaten voor te stellen.

Charuba, Oranjestad 1988 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/rutg014bond01_01/colofon.htm © 2007 dbnl / Wim Rutgers II ‘Misschien zullen de kinderen van dit volk eens hun hoofden buigen over de legendes van hun stam...’ (Frank Martinus Arion: Stemmen uit Afrika) Wim Rutgers, Bon dia! Met wie schrijf ik? 4 Ter introductie ‘.... u weet niets van mij, niets, alstublieft, luistert u naar mijn geschiedenis, die ik ga vertellen ....’ Alioum Fantouré: Tussen de keerkringen ‘Zeg, moet je horen ....!’ Iemand vertelt zijn belevenissen aan een al of niet geïnteresseerde luisteraar, die op het verhaal misschien ongelovig reageert - waarop het verhaal nog wat spannender wordt gemaakt; of enthousiast - waarop de verteller zijn geschiedenis nog een beetje aandikt. Maar er wordt geluisterd. En dat merkt de verteller direct aan de reacties. Zo gemakkelijk heeft een schrijver het niet. Die zit eenzaam aan een bureau op een pen te kauwen of naar de schrijfmachine te staren. De auteur weet helemaal niet hoe de eventuele lezer op het verhaal zal reageren. Enthousiast? Zal het verhaal begrepen worden? Een auteur kan ook niets meer corrigeren; zoals hij zijn geschiedenis eenmaal geschreven heeft, zo blijft het er staan. Ook voor lezers die in andere landen en culturen leven of in andere tijden als het verhaal een ‘blijvertje’ is. Een Caraïbische auteur heeft het nog moeilijker, want die schrijft vaak niet alleen voor lezers in eigen tijd en land, maar ook nog voor lezers die ver daarbuiten wonen - in Nederland bijvoorbeeld - en in een andere taal dan die thuis geleerd is.

Cornet. “Dutch Caribbean Women’s Literary Thought: Activism through Linguistic and Cosmopolitan Multiplicity.” Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women’s and Gender Studies, Winter 2017, vol. 18, pp. 175-202] Abstract: In a select group of works by late 20th and early 21st century Curaçaoan women novelists and poets such as Nydia Ecury (1926- 2012), Diana Lebacs (b.1947), Myra Römer (b.1946), Aliefka Bijlsma (b.1971), and Mishenu Osepa-Cicilia (b.1978), we see through what is often an autobiographical subjectivity, a “transnational collective plurality and difference” that describes the empowering physical and psychological possibilities that come with cross-national travel, immigration, cosmopolitanism, and linguistic multiplicity. This paper will present the politics of Curaçaoan-Dutch Caribbean women’s cosmopolitanism and linguistic multiplicity as transformative tools for personal and collective agency and activism for autonomy.

This region in the Caribbean has continued to produce literary works often times invisible to Euro-Dutch, non-Dutch, and non- Papiamentu/o speakers. There is fortunately a steady growing interest in Curaçaoan Dutch Caribbean literature with the understanding that these works may speak to the cultural core of the island.

  • Aruba Heritage Report Aruba’S Intangible Cultural Heritage, an Inventory
    1 The Aruba Heritage Report Aruba’s intangible cultural heritage, an inventory Luc Alofs November, 2003 / November, 2008 Picture: Ravi Alofs ‘The speed of social and economic change often goes counter to the rhythms of culture, which more often measures time in phases of experience, stages of life and even in generations, than in the nanoseconds of the digital networks.’ Koïchiro Matsuura, Director-General of UNESCO Preface to: ‘World Culture Report 2000: Cultural Diversity, Conflict and Pluralism’ Aruba National Commission 2 3 Introduction The aim of this project is to produce a report for the elaboration of a National Inventory of Intangible Heritage, including the most important cultural manifestations of present day Aruba. This inventory will serve as the basis for the further elaboration of an atlas of Central American Intangible Heritage by UNESCO. The degree to which it is possible to meet these objectives depends on the progress in the field of study of the intangible cultural heritage. This inventory is based on existing scientific literature and fieldwork by the author. Additional fieldwork to complement the available data cannot be part of the project and will have to be addressed in the future. In paragraph I.1, I will review and discuss several UNESCO-definitions of the concept of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Paragraph I.2 briefly sketches the history of the people and the culture of Aruba. In paragraph I.3, I describe the history of the study of Cultural Heritage on Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles as of the end of the nineteenth century. The second chapter consists of the actual inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage on Aruba.
