  • El Español De América Central Ayer, Hoy Y Mañana*
    Boletín de Filología, Tomo XLIII (2008): 145 - 174 El español de América Central ayer, hoy y mañana* Miguel Ángel Quesada Pacheco** Universidad de Bergen, Noruega RESUMEN El español que se habla en los países que conforman el istmo centroamericano (Belice, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica y Panamá) ha sido estudiado de manera escasa y fragmentaria. Desde los inicios de la época independiente (1821), el interés fi lológico se ha centrado, por una parte, en la lexicografía, y por otra, en la normatividad, con lo cual se han dejado de lado otras perspectivas de estudio lingüístico. Además, con frecuencia las personas interesadas en el tema no son profesionales en la materia, sino más bien afi cionadas, con lo cual el producto de sus esfuerzos no siempre va coronado con los mejores resultados lingüísticos. En el presente estudio se esboza el camino recorrido para llegar al conocimiento que hoy tenemos del español centroamericano, lo que se ha hecho hasta nuestros días, y las tareas que nos esperan. Se resaltarán los aportes logrados en cada uno de los estudios, situando su valor científi co en tiempo y espacio, con el fi n de destacar etapas históricas en el camino recorrido. Palabras clave: Español, Lingüística, Filología, Historia, Dialectología. * El presente artículo fue presentado como ponencia plenaria en el IV Simposio sobre la Lengua y la Literatura Nicaragüenses (Managua, 27 y 28 de abril de 2006). ** Para correspondencia dirigirse a: Miguel Ángel Quesada Pacheco (miguel.quesada@ if.uib.no), Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras (Institutt for framandspråk), Facultad de Humanidades (Det humanistiske fakultet), Universidad de Bergen (Universitetet i Bergen), HF-Bygg, Sydnesplass 7, N-5007 Bergen, Noruega.

  • Native Spanish Speakers As Binate Language Learners
    Native Spanish speakers as binate language learners Luis Javier Pentón Herrera, Concordia University Chicago Miriam Duany, Laurel High School (MD) Abstract Native Spanish speakers from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, who are also English language learners, are a growing population of students in the K-12 classrooms throughout the United States. This particular group of students is oftentimes placed in Spanish-as-a-foreign-language classes that fail to meet their linguistic development as native Spanish speakers. Conversely, those who are placed in Spanish for Heritage Speakers classes usually do not receive the necessary beneficial linguistic support to compensate for the interrupted education and possible lack of prior academic rigor. These binate language learners are a particularly susceptible population that requires rigorous first language instruction in order for them to use that knowledge as a foundation to successfully learn English as a second language. The purpose of this study is to address the needs of high school native Spanish speakers from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala who are also English language learners. In addition, a discussion of this population, their linguistic challenges in their first language, and approaches to excellent teaching practices are addressed and explained. Introduction The increasing number of English Language learner (ELLs) students in the United States has generated interest in the fields of bilingualism and second language acquisition. Currently, the fastest growing ELL student population in Luis Javier Pentón Herrera (Doctoral Candidate, Concordia University Chicago) is currently an ESOL teacher at Laurel High School, Laurel, MD. His research focuses on bilingual education, second and foreign language acquisition, adult education, and reading and literacy.

An Analysis of its Dialectical Lexicon 159 Abstract The lexicon that coincides with the geographic region formed by the six countries of the American isthmus has not yet been examined as part of a single dialectical area. Our inquiry proposes to analyse and classify the lexical units that are recorded in dialectical dictionar- ies as a means to answer the question of whether this is a single dialectical area. Through a quantitative and qualitative methodology, we discover that the Central American territory presents two groups according to lexical repertoire. The results demonstrate that the first includes El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, which have a greater number of coinciding words compared to Costa Rica and Panama. Data about the indicators that shed light on etymological origin and lexical-semantic creation, adoption and adaptation to un- derstand the trends followed by each group are also provided. This work contributes to the possibility of considering Central America as a dialectical unit.

Victòria Alsina, Dra. Jenny Brumme i Dra. Kristin Reinke Barcelona, setembre de 2019 Dedicatòria i Agraïments A mis padres, Guy y Lise, a mi hermana Marion, a Guillermo, a mis directoras, Vicky, Jenny y Kristin, y a todos los que han cruzado mi camino durante estos cincos años de estudios doctorales. Esta tesis lleva un poco de cada uno de vosotros. Resum El present estudi examina com es tradueix el discurs fílmic, especialment els elements marcadors de la variació lingüística, al francès i al castellà, dues llengües pluricèntriques, és a dir, llengües que tenen més d’un centre normatiu. El fet que diverses nacions adoptin mesures per promoure la indústria nacional del doblatge, en general per motius econòmics i culturals, en ocasions porta a duplicar les varietats de doblatge. Per tant, una qüestió clau és saber com es comparen aquestes versions doblades i com aconsegueixen transmetre la variació lingüística i la oralitat prefabricada a través de les seves respectives traduccions. L’objectiu d’aquesta investigació consisteix a examinar quines són les principals diferències i similituds entre el discurs fílmic doblat de Quebec i de França (per al francés) i d’Espanya i Amèrica Llatina (per a l’espanyol), sobre la base d’un estudi de la pel·lícula Death Proof (2007) de Quentin Tarantino. Aquesta pel·lícula va ser seleccionada pel seu alt nivell de variació lingüística i la importància que Tarantino dóna a la llengua (no estàndard) de les seves pel·lícules.

  • The Limits of Named Language Varieties and the Role of Social Salience in Dialectal Contact: the Case of Spanish in the United States
    Received: 4 November 2015 Revised: 21 August 2016 Accepted: 1 December 2016 DOI 10.1111/lnc3.12232 ARTICLE The limits of named language varieties and the role of social salience in dialectal contact: The case of Spanish in the United States Daniel Erker Boston University, Romance Studies Abstract Correspondence Daniel Erker, Boston University, Romance Studies, Studying dialectal contact offers linguists an opportunity to 718 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, Massachusetts, critically examine some of our most basic assumptions 02215, United States. about language. In particular, careful consideration of geo- Email: [email protected] graphically constrained patterns of linguistic variation highlights the limitations of named language varieties as tools for linguistic inquiry. Ultimately, the locus of contact is not to be found in the interaction of such abstractions, but rather in the individual minds of those who live in con- tact communities. The present paper highlights these issues through a discussion of Spanish dialectal contact in the U.S., with a special emphasis on the variable social salience of regionally differentiated features. Work reviewed here is consistent with previous research that finds the relative salience of features to be a key determinant of their trajec- tory in situations of contact. Change in the use of high salience features is likely to be the result of direct accom- modation between speakers, while change in low salience features is likely to arise by other, indirect mechanisms. The role of salience in shaping the outcomes of contact reinforces its inherently social nature, reminding us that what we hope to understand are not the results of dialects in contact, but rather, those of people in contact.

  • The Changing System of Costa Rican Pronouns of Address: Tuteo, Voseo, and Ustedeo”
    1 Article to appear as: Michnowicz, Jim, Despain, Scott & Gorham, Rebecca. In press. “The changing system of Costa Rican pronouns of address: tuteo, voseo, and ustedeo”. To appear in S. Rivera-Mills and M.I. Moyna (Eds.). Forms of address in the Spanish of the Americas. Amsterdam: John Benjamins. This version may differ from the final published article. Please reference the published version. The changing system of Costa Rican pronouns of address: tuteo, voseo, and ustedeo Jim Michnowicz, Scott Despain, & Rebecca Gorham North Carolina State University Abstract The present study examines the reported use of three forms of address (tú, vos, usted) in Costa Rican Spanish. Previous studies have indicated three phenomena of interest: 1. Usted is used with [+solidarity] interlocutors (Moser, 2010b); 2. While tuteo has been historically absent, some studies suggest an increase in tuteo use among young speakers (cf. Quesada Pacheco, 2010); and 3. Older studies indicated that younger speakers were increasing their use of vos, the default informal pronoun in Costa Rica (cf. Vargas, 1974). Based on surveys with 209 participants, the present results indicate an increase in ustedeo among younger speakers, a result that contradicts earlier studies. Correspondingly, reported voseo is decreasing among younger speakers. Possible explanations for this pattern include the socio-political history of Costa Rica, as well as a linguistic reaction against the influx of voseo- using Nicaraguan immigrants in recent decades. Finally, no clear evidence of expanding tuteo is found, at least for the survey data analyzed here. Further data and conclusions are discussed. 1. Introduction1 Previous research has identified Costa Rican Spanish as possessing a binary system of pronouns of address, with vos as the familiar pronoun expressing solidarity, and usted as the 1 The authors wish to thank the audience at Spanish Linguistics in North Carolina 2013, the editors and the three anonymous reviewers for their feedback on this article.
