(Raduan Nassar) 7 RESUMO Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar enunciações sobre portunhol e spanglish a partir de enunciados retirados da Internet, a qual será tratada enquanto um espaço enunciativo. A partir deste recorte se estudará, no acontecimento, como funcionam os processos e relações que determinam estas práticas linguísticas; quais são os processos enunciativos que (des)legitimam estas duas práticas de contato entre português/espanhol e espanhol/inglês, respectivamente, na relação com o memorável. Para este trabalho utilizaremos como dispositivo teórico e de análise a Semântica Histórica da Enunciação e a Semântica do Acontecimento. O corpus a ser analisado será coletado a partir de uma pesquisa realizada na Internet, em sites de busca, partindo de palavras como espanglés/spanglish e portunhol/portuñol. Pretendemos, com este estudo, responder aos seguintes questionamentos: o que determina, no espaço enunciativo da Internet, estas práticas enquanto práticas (des)legitimadas? Quais são os sentidos e relações que circulam neste espaço, funcionando na determinação de portunhol e spanglish? Palavras-chave: semântica do acontecimento, portunhol, spanglish, Internet 9 ABSTRACT This paper aims to analyze enunciates about Portunhol and Spanglish from statements taken from the Internet, which will be treated as a enunciation space. From this angle we will study, at the event, how the processes and relations determine these languages practices; wich are the enunciation processes that (de) legitimize these two practices of contact between Portugues / Spanish and Spanish / English, respectively, at the interface with the ―memorável‖. For this work we use as a Theoretical and Analytical foundation the Semantic of Enunciation and the Semantic of the Event. The corpus to be analyzed will be collected from a survey on the Internet, search engines, starting with words like Spanglish / Spanglish and portunhol / portuñol. Main objective of this study is to answer the following questions: what determines, in the enunciation space of the Internet, such practices as practices (un) legitimacy? What are the relations and senses that circulate in this space, running in determining Portunhol and Spanglish? Key words: Semantics of the Events, Portunhol, Spanglish, Internet 11 SUMÁRIO INTRODUÇÃO ......................................................................................................................... 15 CAPÍTULO I – O ESPAÇO DE ENUNCIAÇÃO................................................................... 17 1.1.

  • Perceptions of Dialect Standardness in Puerto Rican Spanish
    Perceptions of Dialect Standardness in Puerto Rican Spanish Jonathan Roig Advisor: Jason Shaw Submitted to the faculty of the Department of Linguistics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Yale University May 2018 Abstract Dialect perception studies have revealed that speakers tend to have false biases about their own dialect. I tested that claim with Puerto Rican Spanish speakers: do they perceive their dialect as a standard or non-standard one? To test this question, based on the dialect perception work of Niedzielski (1999), I created a survey in which speakers of Puerto Rican Spanish listen to sentences with a phonological phenomenon specific to their dialect, in this case a syllable- final substitution of [R] with [l]. They then must match the sounds they hear in each sentence to one on a six-point continuum spanning from [R] to [l]. One-third of participants are told that they are listening to a Puerto Rican Spanish speaker, one-third that they are listening to a speaker of Standard Spanish, and one-third are told nothing about the speaker. When asked to identify the sounds they hear, will participants choose sounds that are more similar to Puerto Rican Spanish or more similar to the standard variant? I predicted that Puerto Rican Spanish speakers would identify sounds as less standard when told the speaker was Puerto Rican, and more standard when told that the speaker is a Standard Spanish speaker, despite the fact that the speaker is the same Puerto Rican Spanish speaker in all scenarios. Some effect can be found when looking at differences by age and household income, but the results of the main effect were insignificant (p = 0.680) and were therefore inconclusive.

Brown Confederacy” “Señor Presidente,” Lyndon Baines Johnson said via a long-distance telephone call from the Oval Office. “We are very sorry over the violence which you have had down there but gratified that you have appealed to the Panamanian people to remain calm.” President Johnson often talked politics on the phone but seldom with foreign leaders. Johnson, who had just succeeded to the presidency of the world’s most powerful country, was speaking to the head of state of one of the smaller nations of the Western Hemisphere. The call marked the only time that Johnson spoke to a Latin American counterpart by telephone during his presidency—a fact that demonstrates how serious he considered the situation. This unique president-to-president phone conversation occurred on January 10, 1964, following the first full May 06, 2020 day of riots by Panamanian youths along the fence line between Panama City and the U.S. occupied Canal Zone.

  • Coarticulation Between Aspirated-S and Voiceless Stops in Spanish: an Interdialectal Comparison
    Coarticulation between Aspirated-s and Voiceless Stops in Spanish: An Interdialectal Comparison Francisco Torreira University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1. Introduction In a large number of Spanish dialects, representing many of the world’s Spanish speakers, /s/ is reduced to or deleted entirely in word-internal preconsonantal position (e.g. /este/ → [ehte], este ‘this’), in word-final preconsonantal position (e.g. /las#toman/ → [lahtoman], las toman ‘they take them’), and/or in prepausal position (e.g. /komemos/ → [komemo(h)], comemos ‘we eat’). In those dialects considered the most phonologically innovative (such as the Spanish of Andalusia, Extremadura, Canary Islands, Hispanic Caribbean, Pacific coast of South America), /s/ debuccalization is also found in prevocalic environments word-finally (e.g. /las#alas/ → [lahala], las alas ‘the wings’) and even word-internally, this phenomenon being less common (e.g. /asi/ → [ahi], así ‘this way’). When considered in detail, the manifestations of aspirated-s can be very different depending on dialectal, phonetic and even sociolinguistic factors. Only in preconsonantal position, for example, different s-apirating dialects behave differently; and, even within each dialect and in preconsonantal position, different manifestations arise as a result of the consonant type following aspirated-s. In this study, I show that aspirated-s before voiceless stops has different phonetic characteristics in Western Andalusian, on one part, and Puerto Rican and Porteño Spanish on the other. While Western Andalusian exhibits consistent postaspiration and shorter or inexistent preaspiration, Puerto Rican and Porteño display consistent preaspiration but no postaspiration. Moreover, Andalusian Spanish voiceless stops in /hC/ clusters show a longer closure than voiceless stops in other conditions, a contrast that does not apply for Porteño and Puerto Rican Spanish.

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.

In result, recruters hired President Theodore Roosevelt workers from the island of Barbados. authorizing the start of the West – Indian workers were cheaper construction of the canal. than American or European labor and by the end of the year, 20% of Starting it off the canal workers were Barbadian. The American construction of the Panama Canal is a historic event that took place in the beginning of the 1900’s. The decision to take over the canal from the French was made by US President, Theodore Roosevelt in 1901. His goal was to create a cheaper, easier, and faster way from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean, after the French failed at the same task.

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.
