Como dicha sección, este volumen se propone la investigación de la norma pluricéntrica del español, un fenómeno que no solamente constituye un campo de investigación apasio- nante, sino también un objetivo explícito por parte de las instituciones norma- tivas, en primer lugar las Academias de la Lengua. Según la RAE: Se consideran, pues, plenamente legítimos los diferentes usos de las regiones lingüísti- cas, con la única condición de que estén generalizados entre los hablantes cultos de su área y no supongan una ruptura del sistema en su conjunto, esto es, que ponga en peli- gro su unidad (RAE, véase <http://www.rae.es/rae%5CNoticias.nsf/Portada4?Read Form&menu=4>, 07.03.2012). Esta nueva orientación pluricéntrica guía la voluminosa Ortografía de 2010, redactada por la RAE y la Asociación de Academias de la Lengua, pero sobre todo y en mayor medida el reciente Diccionario panhispánico de dudas (2005). Nueve meses después del congreso en Tubinga apareció una importante obra que nació del mismo espíritu (Del Valle 2009), la Nueva gramática de la len- gua española, en cuyo prólogo se explicita este criterio determinativo de la ela- 1 Quisiéramos agradecer a Cynthia Carggiolis Abarza por su ayuda en la corrección lingüísti- ca de este artículo.

La muy notable cohesión lingüística del español es compatible con el hecho de que la valoración social de algunas construcciones pueda no coincidir en áreas lingüísticas diferentes. No es posible presentar el español de un país o de una comunidad como modelo panhispánico de lengua. Tiene, por el contrario, más sentido describir pormenorizadamente las numerosas estructuras que son compartidas por la mayor parte de los hispanohablantes, precisando su forma, su significado y su estima- ción social, y mostrar separadas las opciones particulares que pueden proceder de algu- na variante, sea del español americano o del europeo. Cuando estas opciones resultan comunes, y hasta ejemplares, en áreas lingüísticas específicas, deben ser descritas como tales. Obrar de este modo no solo no pone en peligro la unidad del español, sino que contribuye más bien a fortalecerla, y ayuda a comprender su distribución geográfica de forma más cabal (NGRALE 2009: XXXIX-XLVIII). De este modo, se crea el nuevo concepto de un “español total” cuya descripción abarque el entramado de variedades y normas globales, regionales y naciona- les.2 Desde que, a comienzos de los años 90 del siglo pasado, el germanista aus- traliano de origen austríaco Michael Clyne publicara una obra comparativa dedicada al tema (véase Pöll en este mismo volumen para una historia del tér- mino), hay —también en la romanística de lengua alemana— un debate cons- tante, intenso y apasionando para analizar más en detalle la situación del espa- ñol (Bierbach, Eberenz, Gleßgen, Lebsanft, Ludwig, Oesterreicher, Polzin- Haumann, Pöll, Zimmermann, entre otros). Este debate (que tiene antecedentes en la lingüística y romanística de la antigua Unión Soviética, cf. Stepanov 1971, Stepanov/Švejcer 1981, Stepanov 2004) gira en torno a varias cuestiones fun- damentales en cuanto a la definición y a la aplicación del concepto “pluricen- trismo” a la situación del mundo hispanohablante. Un problema central es la definición del concepto de la norma pluricéntrica (Bierbach 2000) y la posible coexistencia con factores monocéntricos, ya que en el mundo hispanohablante

  • 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.

  • A Phonotactic Explanation of the «Vos» and Final -R Variety «Vosotros» Imperatives
    A PHONOTACTIC EXPLANATION OF THE «VOS» AND FINAL -R VARIETY «VOSOTROS» IMPERATIVES 1. Introduction The VOS form of Classical Latin is manifest in Contemporary Spanish in two dis- tinct ways. «Vos» In Spanish emerged from Latin VOS as a second person singular man- ner of address, and differed from «t ŭ» in that the latter was more informal and employed with inferiors. In the seventeenth, and possibly as late as the eighteenth century, the use of «vos» disapeared from many parts of the Spanish speaking world (Lapesa 1984: 579), although it is still widely used in many areas of South and Central America (Rona 1967). «Vosotros» retained the plurality of Latin VOS to become an informal manner of ad- dress. However, in contemporary Spanish it has lost a lot of ground to the «ustedes» form. The only region to conserve the «vosotros» form is Spain, yet even within Spain it is not universal; the westem half of Andalusia has lost it in favor of «ustedes» (Lapesa 1984: 512). The imperative of Latin VOS was marked with the verb-final morpheme -TE (AUDI- TE «hear»; DICETE «say»). This morpheme, with the deletion of final /-e/, and the voic- ing of final /-t/ common in the evolution of Spanish, became the final /-d/ morpheme in- dicative of the «vosotros» imperative. The objective of this paper is to examine other varieties of this imperative, namely the «vos» imperative, and the final /-r/ «vosotros» imperative, and to give a morphopho- nemic explanation of why these varieties have arisen in contrast to the final /-d/ variety of the standardized language.

Quícoli, Co-Chair Professor Norma Mendoza-Denton, Co-Chair This dissertation examines onset and coda /s/ lenition in the Spanish of El Salvador, a dialect in which this phenomenon is particularly advanced. That is, Salvadoran /s/ weakening is not only pervasive in both syllabic positions but manifests as allophones beyond the traditional tripartite conception. In addition to providing the first sociophonetic account of /s/ in El Salvador, this dissertation aims to address another gap in the literature: while /s/ weakening is the most- studied phonological variable in the history of the field, many accounts fail to make connections between observed patterns and important aspects of phonological theory. In my analysis I show that these connections, which are highly reliant on phonetic principles, are crucial to a more complete understanding of the phenomenon at hand.

Koike This study tries to establish the systematicity of code-switching as shown in a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the linguistic behavior of twelve Spanish-English bilingual speakers of Mexican descent, drawn from the “Spanish in Texas Corpus” (Bullock and Toribio 2013). Results show that the frequency and typology of code-switching varied substantially among these speakers, concurring with previous research that has characterized U.S. Latinos as a highly diverse group in social interactions (Valdés 2001; Carreira 2004; Potowski 2010; Montrul 2013; Fairclough 2016, among others) and use of linguistic forms (Silva-Corvalán 1993; Zentella 1997; Valdés 2001; Colombi 2009). Moreover, some researchers have indicated that personality might also influence the code-switching behavior of U.S. Latinos (Gardner-Chloros 2008; Dewaele and Wei 2014). These findings also reveal that code-switching is not a random process, but rather a rule-governed linguistic phenomenon.

  • Lorain Puerto Rican Spanish and 'R' in Three Generations
    Lorain Puerto Rican Spanish and ‘r’ in Three Generations Michelle F. Ramos-Pellicia George Mason University 1. Problem Retroflex ‘r’ in coda position, has been documented in the Spanish of the Yucatan Peninsula, central areas of Costa Rica, Belize, other parts of Central America, as well as in the US Southwest (Alonso 1930; Cassano 1973, 1977; Figueroa and Hislope 1998; Hagerty 1996; Lastra de Suárez 1975; Lipski 1994; Orenstein 1974; Sánchez 1972). In these dialects, the retroflex pronunciation generally has been assumed to result from American English (AE) influence, but the cause has not been directly studied. The analysis of retroflex /r/ in Puerto Rican Spanish in Lorain, Ohio --where contact with English is ongoing and variable-- presents counterevidence to the hypothesized AE source of retroflex /r/. In this article, I discuss the frequency patterns of use for ‘r’ among three generations of Puerto Ricans in Lorain, Ohio. The retroflex ‘r’ is most common in the third generation, a fact which is consistent with AE influence. However, if AE were the source, we would expect the lowest frequency of the retroflex in the first generation Puerto Ricans, as they are presumed to have the least contact with English. In fact, however, first generation speakers use a retroflex ‘r’ in their readings in Spanish more frequently than the second generation. The AE influence explanation is, then, problematic, and despite the evidence from the second and third generations, the occurrence of ‘r’ in the first generation cannot be attributed solely to AE influence. In addition to offering possible explanations of the data, I discuss methodological issues in the operationalization and measurement of 'language contact'.

In the eighteenth century, with the advent of the Bourbons to the Spanishthrone in 1701, this metropolitanlinguistic centrality had been strengthened even further through institutionalization with the creation, in 1713, of the Spanish Royal Academy (henceforthRAE) (Medina in this volume; Moreno Fernandez2005: 168-73). The independence of most American colonies in the earlynineteenth century resulted in the development of new conditions for the deployment of language policies and metalinguistic discourses.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles On the Sequential Negotiation of Identity in Spanish-Language Discourse: Mobilizing Linguistic Resources in the Service of Social Action A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures by Chase Wesley Raymond 2014 © Copyright by Chase Wesley Raymond 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION On the Sequential Negotiation of Identity in Spanish-Language Discourse: Mobilizing Linguistic Resources in the Service of Social Action by Chase Wesley Raymond Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor John Heritage, Co-chair Professor Claudia Parodi-Lewin, Co-chair This dissertation takes an ethnomethodologically-grounded, conversation-analytic approach in investigating the sequential deployment of linguistic resources in Spanish-language talk-in-interaction. Three sets of resources are examined: 2nd-person singular reference forms (tú, vos, usted), indicative/subjunctive verbal mood selection, and Spanish-English intersentential code-switching. In each case, we ask: How is it that these elements of language are mobilized by speakers to accomplish identity in the service of social action in interaction? With regard to 2nd-person reference forms, we illustrate how the turn-by-turn progression of talk can make relevant shifts in the linguistic means through which speakers refer to their hearers. It is demonstrated that these shifts contribute to the objective of an utterance by mobilizing the pragmatic meaning of a pronominal form to embody a recalibration of who the ii interactants project they are to one another—not in general, but rather at a particular moment in the ongoing interaction.

  • As Andalusia
    THE SPANISH OF ANDALUSIA Perhaps no other dialect zone of Spain has received as much attention--from scholars and in the popular press--as Andalusia. The pronunciation of Andalusian Spanish is so unmistakable as to constitute the most widely-employed dialect stereotype in literature and popular culture. Historical linguists debate the reasons for the drastic differences between Andalusian and Castilian varieties, variously attributing the dialect differentiation to Arab/Mozarab influence, repopulation from northwestern Spain, and linguistic drift. Nearly all theories of the formation of Latin American Spanish stress the heavy Andalusian contribution, most noticeable in the phonetics of Caribbean and coastal (northwestern) South American dialects, but found in more attenuated fashion throughout the Americas. The distinctive Andalusian subculture, at once joyful and mournful, but always proud of its heritage, has done much to promote the notion of andalucismo within Spain. The most extreme position is that andaluz is a regional Ibero- Romance language, similar to Leonese, Aragonese, Galician, or Catalan. Objectively, there is little to recommend this stance, since for all intents and purposes Andalusian is a phonetic accent superimposed on a pan-Castilian grammatical base, with only the expected amount of regional lexical differences. There is not a single grammatical feature (e.g. verb cojugation, use of preposition, syntactic pattern) which separates Andalusian from Castilian. At the vernacular level, Andalusian Spanish contains most of the features of castellano vulgar. The full reality of Andalusian Spanish is, inevitably, much greater than the sum of its parts, and regardless of the indisputable genealogical ties between andaluz and castellano, Andalusian speech deserves study as one of the most striking forms of Peninsular Spanish expression.

  • Lexicography in the French Caribbean: an Assessment of Future Opportunities
    LEXICOGRAPHY IN GLOBAL CONTEXTS 619 Lexicography in the French Caribbean: An Assessment of Future Opportunities Jason F. Siegel The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus E-mail: [email protected] Abstract While lexicography in the Hispanophone Caribbean has flourished, and to a lesser extent in the territories of the Caribbean whose official language is English, dictionaries of the French-official Caribbean (except Haiti) have been quite limited. But for the rest of the French-official Caribbean, there remains much work to do. In this paper, I assess the state of lexicography in the French-official Caribbean, as well as the possibilities for fu- ture work. There are six principal areas of lexicographic documentation to be developed. The first, most urgent task is the documentation of the endangered St Barth French. The next priority is multilingual lexicography for the Caribbean region. The third priority is multilingual lexicography of French Guiana, home to endangered Amerindian, Creole and immigrant languages. Fourth, there is a largely pristine area of lexicographic work for the English varieties of the French Caribbean. The fifth area of work to be developed is monolingual lexicog- raphy of French-based Creoles. Lastly, there is exploratory work to be done on the signed language varieties of the French-official Caribbean. The paper concludes with a discussion of the role that the Richard and Jeannette Allsopp Centre for Caribbean Lexicography can play in the development of these areas. Keywords: minority languages, bilingual lexicography, French Caribbean 1 Introduction Overseas French (le français d’outre-mer) is a fairly important topic in French linguistics.
