This edition of Languages in Contact, overseen by the Commit- tee for Philology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Wrocław Branch, together with the Philological School of Higher Education in Wrocław, not only addresses this issue, but also embraces a new approach to the study. The volume pinpoints not only the vast scope and the huge potential of contact linguistics, but also the studies of anthropological linguistics, sociology, communicology, studies of culture and sign lan- guages. The present volume is composed of papers, many of which were presented at the conference “Languages in Contact 2014” in Wrocław. The volume brings new and challenging insights into the studies of Maltese Sign Language (Marie Azzopardi-Alexander); the role of edu- cation in the process of revitalization of the Basque language (Joanna Anders); the earliest known text in Jamaican Creole (Andrei A. Avram); the sound system of Vilamovian within the scope of Government Pho- nology (Anna Bloch-Rozmej); language contact between Amerindians and Maroons in the South American country of Suriname (Robert Borges); the phenomenon of Polish corpolect based on Polish-English contact (Agnieszka Cierpich); the study of linguistic and cultural con- tacts from the anthropological perspective (Piotr P. Chruszczewski); recent morphological processes of blending, libfixing and clipping (Camiel Hamans); the case study of French foreign language learners in Tanzanian secondary schools (Mussa Julius Lulandala); linguistic picture of Kashubians and the Kashubian land in Benedikt Karczewsczi’s poetry (Marcin R. Odelski); pugilistic practice as a purposeful communicative act in 19th-century England (Dawid Raczyński); investigating glossog- eny via the iterated learning methodology (Katarzyna Rogalska); the no- tions of “Original Language” and “Universal Religion” in the context of 8 Introduction the debates about the origin of language in 18th-century France (Tomasz Szymański); Japanese language under the influence of contact with other cultures (Paulina Tomaszewska); the role of presupposition and lexical conceptual structure in the causative/inchoative alternation of change of state verbs (Tomasz Twaróg); the source and location of interlingual contacts (Elżbieta Magdalena Wąsik); creole formation and second lan- guage acquisition (Donald Winford); language shift and protection of minority languages in Friuli (Joanna Woźniakiewicz); medicine in a folk perspective on the basis of patients’ first person narratives in specialist medical journals (Magdalena Zabielska). Editors Joanna Anders Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań On the Role of Education in the Process of Language Revitalization: The Case of Basque Abstract. Although Euskara, the Basque language, has been recognized region- ally as a co-official language, the number of its speakers is low enough to qualify it as an endangered tongue. Euskara is an isolated language that is spoken in both the northern parts of Spain and the southern parts of France. Its ergative-absolutive alignment makes it completely different from the other European languages, not to mention the neighboring Romance languages. Several factors have contributed to its weakened position, e.g. Castilian took on the role of the common language,

  • SCOPIC Design and Overview
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 12 Social Cognition Parallax Interview Corpus (SCOPIC) ed. by Danielle Barth and Nicholas Evans, pp. 1–21 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp12 1 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24742 SCOPIC Design and Overview Danielle Barth and Nicholas Evans Australian National University and the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language This paper provides an overview of the design and motivation for creating the Social Cognition Parallax Interview Corpus (SCOPIC), an open-end- ed, accessible corpus that balances the need for language-specific annota- tion with typologically-calibrated markup. SCOPIC provides richly anno- tated data, focusing on functional categories relevant to social cognition, the social and psychological facts that place people and others within an interconnected social context and allow people to interact with one an- other. By ‘parallax corpus’ we mean ‘broadly comparable formulations resulting from a comparable task’, to avoid the implications of ‘parallel corpus’ that there will be exact semantic equivalence across languages. We describe the data structure of the corpus and the language functions being annotated, and provide an example of a typological analysis using recursive partitioning, a modern statistical technique. The current paper should be seen as the introductory chapter of an open-ended special issue of LDC whose goal is to make available both the original corpus, the evolving annotated versions, and analyses coming from them, so that any investigator can examine the corpus with their own questions in mind. A range of new papers, linked to the evolv- ing corpus, will be added to this special issue over time.

  • Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy
    ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SAFEGUARDING OF MINORITY LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS IN MODERN ITALY: The Cases of Sardinia and Sicily Maria Chiara La Sala Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Italian September 2004 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to assess attitudes of speakers towards their local or regional variety. Research in the field of sociolinguistics has shown that factors such as gender, age, place of residence, and social status affect linguistic behaviour and perception of local and regional varieties. This thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part the concept of language, minority language, and dialect is discussed; in the second part the official position towards local or regional varieties in Europe and in Italy is considered; in the third part attitudes of speakers towards actions aimed at safeguarding their local or regional varieties are analyzed. The conclusion offers a comparison of the results of the surveys and a discussion on how things may develop in the future. This thesis is carried out within the framework of the discipline of sociolinguistics. ii DEDICATION Ai miei figli Youcef e Amil che mi hanno distolto

    THE ANALYSIS OF LANGUAGE VARIATION USED IN FAST AND FURIOUS 8 MOVIE A Sociolinguistics Study By: Arkin Haris, S.Pd., M.Hum. Email: [email protected] Website: arkinharis.com A. Background of Study As human beings, people can not be separated from the process of communication. In their lives, people need to interact with others since they can’t live by themselves. Through communication process, people can change their minds, ideas, thoughts, and intentions. They can also deliver messages to others. In conducting communication, people need a medium to express their intentions and messages. The most appropriate medium is language since language can carry a message by symbols. This is in line with what has been suggested by Wardaugh (1992: 8) who states that ―Language allows people to say things to each other and expresses communicate needs‖. In short, language is constantly used by humans in their daily life as a means of communication. Language is very important in social interaction. In interlace good relation, people will use appropriate language that can be understood by others in particular event. Some communities have their own language that is used in daily activity which different with other communities. Every community have different characteristic from their culture which determined the variety of language that they use. Some of them make uncommon languages that only can be understood by the member of communities in order to keeping their attribute or keeping a secret. Family relation, work place, friendship, and social class also can be causes of language varieties. Beside language varieties, changed or mix a language to another can be the way to establish a communication depend on who is the partner and the context.

But it has been extraordinarily diffcult to understand its evolution, diversifcation, and use: a vast array of incredibly different language systems are found across the planet, all representing different solutions to the problem of evolving a fexible, all-purpose communication system, and all in constant fux.

  • Edward Sapir's View About International Auxiliary Language
    EMANUEL KULCZYCKI EDWARD SAPIR’S VIEW ABOUT INTERNATIONAL AUXILIARY LANGUAGE Introduction The search for common attributes of all languages is connected with the search for characteristics which differentiate languages. If some attributes cannot be found in every language, what is cause of this situation? Is it linked up with the origin of language or with users of the language? People inquire about such matters because the multiplicity of natural languages generates incomprehension and handicaps human communication. The minimum number of languages in the world has been set at 4,000 and the maximum at 8,000. In spite of this people can communicate over communication’s barriers which are generated by the multiplicity of mother-languages. But that diversity worries and disturbs. A Danish linguist Otto Jespersen wrote: „An American may travel from Boston to San Francisco without hearing more than one language. But if he were to traverse the same distance on this side of the Atlantic, he would have a totally different story to tell (…) he would then hear perhaps Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, Czecho-Slovakian, Hungarian, Rumanian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Greek, and then in Egypt Arabic and a little English (…) He would not have heard of the languages spoken in Europe. The curse of Babel is still with us”1. It means that we have to use more than one language to 1 O. Jespersen: An International Language, Allen & Unwin, London 1928; <http://www.geocities.com/ /Athens/Forum/5037/AILneed.html>. 66 Emanuel Kulczycki communicate with another man. So some universal language – an international auxiliary language could make whole social communication easy.
