27, July 1994 JULY 1994 SPHECOS AFORUM FOR ACULEATE WASP RESEARCHERS Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! In Sphecoa 281 outlined the financial crisis that threatened to stop production of this newsletter. My appeal for donations to help defray the cost of reproducing future Issues was met by an amazing outpouring of support from the readership. Money begM to come In from all corners of the globe in amounts ranging from $5 to $2501 Some people simply sent cash in the mail, others sent chec::ks. or even foreign currency. Many sent in more than the suggested $5 donation. We even received donations from Ruasia and other east European countries in spite of all the financial hardships that people in those nations have. My wife Nancy had acluatly put up the money to pay for the reproduction of Sphecos 28, and within a few weeks the Incoming dona­ tions reimbursed her outlay. The money has continued to arrive in the mail and we have now built up a sizeable fund to cover the reproduction of the current Issue and at least two morel Your generosity Is very much appreciated and it will Insure the continuance of Sptwco.. It Is very satisfying to know that the efforts of Terry Nuhn and myself are so appreciated. Donora to the Sphecos reproduction fund are listed here in chronological order. Terry, Nancy and I want to thank each of you for your support. We even got $5 from Bill Ashmead I A.S.

This phenomenon is analyzed in two different but complementary studies and perspectives, each of which contributes to a better understanding of the sociolinguistic factors that constrain its variation, as well as the social meanings of this feature in Argentina. Study 1 investigates whether position in the intonational phrase (IP), vowel concordance, and social class and gender condition pretonic vowel lengthening from informal conversations with native speakers (n=20).

  • Registers of African-Derived Lexicon in Uruguay: Etymologies, Demography and Semantic Change
    ZrP 2019; 135(1): 223–255 Laura Álvarez López / Magdalena Coll Registers of African-derived lexicon in Uruguay: etymologies, demography and semantic change https://doi.org/10.1515/zrp-2019-0006 Abstract: The present paper deals with 82 words of possible African origin registered in Uruguay by Ildefonso Pereda Valdés and Rolando Laguarda Trías between 1937 and 1965. Many of the lexical items were probably introduced by enslaved Africans brought to the region during the 18th and 19th centuries. Evidence shows that most of the words are apparently shared with varieties of Spanish outside the Rio de la Plata region, and most of them also appear in neighboring Argentina and Brazil. Furthermore, the African-derived lexicon is often used to denominate the ‘other’ with respect to people and social behaviors, and most of these loanwords are nouns with possible origins in Bantu languages spoken in West-Central Africa, which corresponds to the available demographic data. Keywords: africanisms, lexicon, Spanish, Bantu languages, Uruguay, Laguarda Trías, Pereda Valdés 1 Introduction The present paper deals with 82 words of possible African origin that characterize the variety of Spanish used in Uruguay. Our work is based on two written sources, and we do not focus on a specific Afro-Hispanic variety, but rather deal with loanwords that have been registered and that may or may not be still in use today. According to Thomason’s borrowing scale (2001, 69), these loanwords appear to be the result of casual contact between speakers of African languages and Correspondence address: Prof. Dr. Laura Álvarez López, Stockholms universitet, Romanska och klassika institutionen, Universitetsvägen 10 B, plan 5, SE-10691 Stockholm, E-Mail: [email protected] Prof.

What makes this volume unique within the extensive existing scholarship on Spanish and Portuguese linguistics is that all chapters are concerned with both languages in some way, be it in contrast or in contact. The chapters are organized in four sections: Comparative perspectives in diachrony (chapters by D. Wanner, A. M. Martins, A. Quintana and M. Delicado Cantero), Comparative perspectives in synchrony (chapters by L. Ferreira & D. E. Holt, M. E. Armstrong & M. Cruz, P. O’Neill and A. R.

Salaberry & Custódio Martins) and Portuguese and Spanish in the Americas: The African legacy (chapters by J. M. Lipski, J. C. Clements, A. Schwegler and G. R. Guy). In this review I will use a some- what different grouping. One of the most striking differences between Spanish and Portuguese, as well as between European and Brazilian Portuguese has to do with the expression and placement of clitic pronouns.

  • National and Cultural Identity of the Uruguayan National Variant of the Spanish Language
    DOI: 10.22363/2686-8199-2020-7-291-296 NATIONAL AND CULTURAL IDENTITY OF THE URUGUAYAN NATIONAL VARIANT OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE Vyacheslav V. Tkachev Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University) Moscow, Russia e-mail: [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-3168-958X Abstract. Studies on the problems of Spanish variability have become extremely popular nowadays. The study of the nature and causes of differentiation in Spanish-American speech is an essential Spanish dialectology task. Usually, one talks about Argentine Spanish as “rioplatense”, an adjective that takes it name from the areas adjacent to the River Plate. However, this is a mistake, as the River Plate also forms part of Uruguayan territory. Therefore, when speaking of rioplatense Spanish, one refers to the idioms that are typically used in Argentina as in Uruguay, two brother countries as far as customs and traditions are concerned. The differences between each variant are negligible and are indistinguishable for Spanish speakers from other places. The Uruguayan variant is very similar to the Buenos Aires variant (because of its relationship with the port of Buenos Aires). However, it does have some differences con the latter, and talk of homogeneity does not apply in this case. The same applies to the Spanish spoken in Buenos Aires and spoken in Patagonia, which sound practically the same but have slight underlying differences. The manuscript analyzes the history of the Spanish language formation in Uruguay as the Uruguayan national variant of the Spanish language, differences from “Pyrenean Spanish.” and the influence of factors on the language. The article also clarifies the phonetic, lexical, and grammatical features of the language.

  • Papiamentu and the Brazilian Connection Established Through the Sephardic Jews1
    Papiamentu and the Brazilian Connection Established through the Sephardic Jews1 (Papiamento y la conexión brasileña establecida mediante los judíos sefardíes) Marco A. Schaumloeffel2 The University of the West Indies, Barbados ABSTRACT This study examines the linguistic contact between Papiamentu and Brazilian Portuguese established when the Sephardic Jews were expelled from Dutch Brazil and some of them relocated in Curaçao. Three lexical items of PA (yaya, ‘nanny, nursemaid’; bacoba, ‘banana’; and fulabola ‘forefinger, index finger’) are analysed and put into their historical context to show that their presence in Papiamentu can be attributed to the contact between Brazil and Curaçao due to the forced migration of the Sephardic Jews and their servants. RESUMEN El estudio examina el contacto lingüístico entre el papiamento y el portugués brasileño, establecido cuando los judíos sefardíes fueron expulsados del Brasil Holandés y algunos se trasladaron a la isla Curazao.

  • Developing Self-Awareness of a Minority Dialect/Language John M
    Developing self-awareness of a minority dialect/language John M. Lipski The Pennsylvania State University Introduction The main theme of this presentation, that speakers of traditionally marginalized minority speech communities may be unaware of the true nature of their language, first struck me head-on not in one of the remote redoubts of Latin America or Africa where my fieldwork has taken me, but in a culturally advanced corner of the European Union: Spain. Since my interest in Ibero- Romance goes beyond Spanish, I had studied Portuguese- and Galician-speaking communities, had spent time among Catalan speakers, and had eventually managed to observe Asturian bable spoken in its native habitat. One Ibero-Romance language still escaped me, namely Aragonese, which figures prominently in treatises on Spanish dialectology and Romance philology, but which according to much scholarship that came my way, was a rapidly receding language now confined to rural areas of the Upper Pyrenees, in the province of Huesca. Having been invited to lecture at the University of Zaragoza, I made contact with scholars of Aragonese, was taken to Huesca, and finally met up with a number of elderly native speakers of Aragonese, some nearly monolingual. My long-standing desire was quickly and amply satisfied, since these individuals generously plied me with many hours of spontaneously spoken Aragonese, including several regional variants. This speech was grammatically as far removed from canonical Spanish as Catalan or Portuguese, in terms of verb conjugations, subject and object pronouns, prepositions, word order, and core vocabulary. Like all Ibero-Romance languages spoken in Spain, Aragonese can be understood by a speaker of Spanish (especially one trained in Romance philology) after a little practice.
