The Latin American Fashion Reader. New York: Berg, 2005. SI PANGL SH History and Origins The history of what people call “Spanglish,” using Spanish and English in the same conversation, can be traced back in modern times to the middle of the 19th century. In 1846 Mexico and the United States went to war. Mexico sur- rendered in 1848 with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. With its surrender, Mexico lost over half of its territory to the United States, what is now either all or parts of the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. The treaty estab- lished that Mexican citizens who remained in the new U.S. lands automatically became U.S. citizens, so a whole group of Spanish speakers was added to the U.S. population. Then, five years later the United States decided that it needed extra land to build a southern railway line that avoided the deep snow and the high passes of the northern route. This resulted in the Gadsden Purchase of 1853. This purchase consisted of portions of southern New Mexico and Arizona, and established the current U.S.-Mexico border. Once more, Mexican citizens who stayed in this area automatically became U.S. -
Spanglish Code-Switching in Latin Pop Music: Functions of English and Audience Reception

The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities. -
Espanglish Y Cambio De Código En El Valle De San Joaquín, California
Symposium Proceedings Espanglish y cambio de código en el Valle de San Joaquín, California Teresa Fernández-Ulloa, California State University. [email protected] Abstract En esta comunicación presentamos un análisis de estos dos fenómenos lingüísticos, muy extendidos en ciertas zonas de Estados Unidos, debido a las raíces hispanas de muchas de las personas que en él habitan. Como profesores, los hemos observado en el ambiente escolar, es especial en si- tuaciones poco formales, y presentamos aquí los resultados de un estudio sociolingüístico de un corpus de grabaciones realizadas escuelas del conda- do de Kern, al sur del Valle de San Joaquín, en California (USA). En esta comunidad se da bilingüismo social e individual (sólo por parte de la pobla- ción "chicana"), ambos de carácter diglósico: nos encontramos con dos lenguas (inglés y castellano), una de las cuales, está relegada a situaciones informales, mientras que el inglés es la lengua de enseñanza, negocios, etc. La alternancia de códigos (code-switching) es uno de los fenómenos más frecuentes en las comunidades bilingües: no es otra cosa que el uso alterno de dos lenguas en el mismo discurso. Este fenómeno ha sido objeto de estudio de varios investigadores como Poplack y Sakoff (1983). Estos inves- tigadores encontraron que lejos de las creencias superficiales de profanos (y no tan profanos), que ven el fenómeno como una clara manifestación de corrupción y deterioro lingüísticos, de conducta verbal indeterminada, el cambio de código resulta gobernado por requisitos funcionales y pragmáti- cos. En cuanto al espanglish o spanglish, los primeros indicios de este dia- lecto (también se la considera una lengua criolloide), se remontan a fines del siglo XIX, inmediatamente después del Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo. -
English Loanwords in Italian IT Terminology
English loanwords in Italian IT terminology Originally published as a comment to Denglisch, Franglais, Spanglish, Swenglist and the like, a guest post by Ivan Kanič in BIK Terminology. Licia Corbolante – Terminologia etc. The use of English words in Italian is variously described as itanglese, itangliano or anglitaliano. Unsurprisingly, assorted pundits regularly voice their concern about the “invasion” of English words, and bemoan the lack of an Italian language authority that might provide guidelines on neologisms and terminology standardization, yet, according to recent data, use of loanwords is not yet widespread in everyday speech (anglicisms amount to only about 0.7% of basic vocabulary) and it is mainly restricted to specialized domains, such as information technology, economics, finance, politics, sports and fashion. As an Italian terminologist working mainly in the IT field, when working with new concepts – and the Italian terminology that should be associated to it – I take into account different variables, such as end user (e.g. consumer or professional?), type of product and its penetration (influential market leader or newcomer, mainstream or niche?), origin of the term (IT-specific or transdisciplinary borrowing?), its usage (industry-wide or producer/product-specific?), users’ familiarity with the term (is it known only to early adopters and/or subject matter experts or also to standard users?). Additionally, there are some linguistic trends that help identify the type of words that are more likely to be borrowed from English. A few examples: . Semantic neologisms (cf BIK Terminology on terminologization) cannot always be reproduced easily in Italian; generally speaking, metaphors associated with living beings, their features or actions tend to be rejected by Italian speakers and loanwords are used instead (e.g. -
Denglisch (=Deutsch+Englisch) : Wenn Sprachen Miteinander „Kollidieren“ Guido OEBEL
J. Fac. Edu. Saga Univ. Vol. 16, No. 1 (2011)Denglisch143〜148(= Deutsch + englisch) :Wenn Sprachen miteinander „kollidieren“ 143 Denglisch (=Deutsch+Englisch) : Wenn Sprachen miteinander „kollidieren“ Denglish (=German+English) : When Languages Collide Guido OEBEL Summary Denglisch - Denglish - Neudeutsch :Some people claim that the words aboveall mean the same thing, but they donʼt. even the term “Denglisch” alone hasseveral different meanings. Since the word “Denglis(c)h” is not found in German dictionaries (even recent ones), and “Neudeutsch” isvaguely defined as “die deutsche Sprache der neueren Zeit” (“the German language of more recent times”), it can be difficulttocome up with a gooddefinition. Key words : German - english - Anglicisms - Language Policy - Linguistics But here are five different definitions for Denglisch (or Denglish)1) : s Denglisch 1 : The useof english words in German,with an attempttoincorporate them into German grammar. Examples: downloaden - ich habe den File gedownloadet/downgeloadet. - Heute haben wir ein Meeting mit den Consultants.* s Denglisch 2 : The (excessive) useof english words, phrases, or slogans in German advertising. Example : A recent German magazine ad for the German airline Lufthansa prominently displays the slogan : “Thereʼs no better way to fly.” s Denglisch 3 : The (bad) influences of english spellingan dpunctuation on German spellingan d punctuation. One pervasiveexample : The incorrect useof an apostrophe in German possessive forms, as in Karlʼs Schnellimbiss. Thiscommon error can be seen even on signs andpainted on the sideof trucks.Itis even seen for plurals endingin s.Another exampleis agrowingten dency to drop the hyphen (English-style) in German compound words: Karl Marx Straße vs Karl-Marx-Straße. s Denglisch 4 : The mixingo f englishand German vocabulary (in sentences) by english-speaking expatswhose German skills are weak. -

227 Journal of Language Contact – THEMA 1 (2007): Contact: Framing its Theories and Descriptions ANNOUNCEMENTS Symposium Language Contact and the Dynamics of Language: Theory and Implications 10-13 May 2007 Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig) Organizing institutions: Institut Universitaire de France : Chaire ‘Dynamique du langage et contact des langues’ (Nice) Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology: Department of Linguistics (Leipzig) Information and presentation: http://www.unice.fr/ChaireIUF-Nicolai/Symposium/Index_Symposium.html Thematic orientation Three themes are chosen. I. “‘Contact’: an ‘obvious fact ? A notion to be rethought?” The aim is to open theoretical reflection on the importance of ‘contact’ as a linguistic and anthropological phenomenon for the study of the evolution and dynamics of languages and of Language. II. “Contact, typology and evolution of languages: a perspective to be explored” Here the aim is to open discussion on what is constructed by ‘typology’. III. “Representation of the phenomena and the role of descriptors: a perspective to be established” In connection with the double requirement of theoretical reflection and empirical underpinning, the aim is to develop an epistemological reflection on the elaboration of knowledge in the domain of languages and Language.

Tales of Travels Across Languages: Languages and Their Anti-Languages
Tales of travels across languages: Languages and their anti-languages Marcela Polanco and David epston Marcela Polanco works as a Counsellor at the Student Counseling Center, at Nova Southeastern University, Florida, and teaches at the Farquhar Department of the same university. She can be contacted via email: [email protected], or 3301 College Ave., Parker Building Suite 150, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. 33314, USA. David Epston is one of the originators of what has come to be known as narrative therapy. He lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand, and travels widely to teach. Appropriately, his latest book is entitled Down under and up over: Travels in narrative therapy (2009). David can be contacted by email: [email protected] This paper is a collaboration between an apprentice bilingual translator/ narrative therapist (Marcela) and one of the originators of narrative therapy (David). Studies of translation and bilingualism offer interesting and useful contributions to the renewal of narrative therapy. As narrative ideas migrate cultures, these crossings can enrich, acculturate, and diversify narrative practices. At the same time, considerations of bilinguality or multilinguality can influence our practice within languages. The example of therapeutic practice that is offered illustrates how narrative therapeutic conversations can move between and across multiple namings of people’s predicaments. In this process, understandings need not be ironed out, as often happens in monolingual conversations. Instead, multilinguality puts names in play as transitory constructions, susceptible to renewal or reinvention. Keywords: bilingualism, narrative therapy, multilingualism, language, anti-language. 62 The International Journal of Narrative Therapy and Community Work The International Journal of Narrative Therapy and Community Work 2009 No. -
Spanglish: a Controversial Dystopic Or Utopic Language? Controversial
1 Spanglish: A Controversial Dystopic or Utopic Language? Controversial opinions abound about Spanglish making it a “sizzling topic” (Montes- Alcalá, 2009, p. 98) and “an emotionally charged issue” regardless of whether it is viewed as good or bad (Rothman & Rell, 2005, p. 516). There are diverse opinions on how to define it and what to call it given that the term itself is controversial. The editor of Hispania, the prestigious journal of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese, states, “I cannot think of a more innovative research area than what I will dub ‘Spanglish Studies’” (Spaine Long, 2013, p.435). Indeed teachers’ interest in the influence of English on the Spanish language has increased as the number of immigrants and subsequent generations has increased the population of heritage speakers in our classrooms. However, outside of the academic environment, there is interest as well in how people use language daily and varying attitudes surrounding the issue. In the movie Elysium, released in August 2013, we are introduced to upper class individuals who live on a utopian habitat in space and speak flawless English, French, and Afrikaans, while those living on chaotic and dystopic Earth are depicted as criminals, dirty, and members of the lower class who speak Spanish mixed with English, or Spanglish. This movie, set in the year 2150, is a social commentary of our current society and its beliefs and practices. In this paper I will present varied opinions and definitions of Spanglish and arguments over what we should call this phenomenon, a linguistic analysis including some rules governing its usage, and issues related to speakers using Spanglish as an identity marker. -

DEFINING SPANGLISH: A LINGUISTIC CATEGORIZATION OF SPANISH-ENGLISH CODE SWITCHING IN THE UNITED STATES by LEAH MERNAUGH FACULTY ADVISOR, DR. KATHRYN BARTHOLOMEW SECOND READER, DR. KATYA NEMTCHINOVA A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University Scholars program Seattle Pacific University DEFINING SPANGLISH 2 Abstract This paper will linguistically explore the forms of Spanish spoken by Spanish-English bilinguals in the United States in order to argue that Spanglish is a complex linguistic system governed by a set of specific linguistic rules and patterns. I will do this by drawing on previous research in this field that examines the phonological patterns, morphological trends, and syntactic constraints that govern acceptable code switches between English and Spanish (Otheguy, 1993; Rodriguez-Gonzalez and Parafita-Couto, 2012; Rothman and Rell, 2005; Lipski, 2008; et al.). This evaluation of Spanglish will also include description and assessment of different arguments regarding how it can best be described linguistically, ultimately claiming that the most compelling argument poses Spanglish as a well-developed system of Spanish-English code-switching. -
