  • Spanish-Based Creoles in the Caribbean
    Spanish-based creoles in the Caribbean John M. Lipski The Pennsylvania State University Introduction The Caribbean Basin is home to many creole languages, lexically related to French, English, and—now only vestigially—Dutch. Surrounded by Spanish-speaking nations, and with Portuguese-speaking Brazil not far to the south, the Caribbean contains only a single creole language derived from a (highly debated) combination of Spanish and Portuguese, namely Papiamentu, spoken on the Netherlands Antilles islands of Curaçao and Aruba. If the geographical confines of the designation `Caribbean’ are pushed a bit, the creole language Palenquero, spoken in the Afro-Colombian village Palenque de San Basilio, near the port of Cartagena de Indias, also qualifies as a Spanish-related creole, again with a hotly contested Portuguese component. There are also a number of small Afro-Hispanic enclaves scattered throughout the Caribbean where ritual language, songs, and oral traditions suggest at least some partial restructuring of Spanish in small areas. Finally, there exists a controversial but compelling research paradigm which asserts that Spanish as spoken by African slaves and their immediate descendents may have creolized in the 19th century Spanish Caribbean—particularly in Cuba—and that this putative creole language may have subsequently merged with local varieties of Spanish, leaving a faint but detectable imprint on general Caribbean Spanish. A key component of the inquiry into Spanish-related contact varieties is the recurring claim that all such languages derive from earlier Portuguese-based pidgins and creoles, formed somewhere in West Africa1 and carried to the Americas by slaves transshipped from African holding stations, and by ships’ crews and slave traders.

  • 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.

    Aspects of the Syntax of the Afro-Bolivian Spanish Determiner Phrase Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sandro Sessarego, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Terrell A. Morgan, Advisor Javier Gutiérrez-Rexach, Advisor Donald Winford Abstract During the last decade, syntactic microvariation analysis, the study of grammatical differences across closely related dialects (cf. Kayne 1996), has received increasing attention. Syntactic microvariation is primarily concerned with the possibility of testing syntactic hypotheses and potential correlations between syntactic variables (Barbiers & Cornips 2001). So far little research has been carried out on microvariation across Spanish dialects, especially across Afro-Hispanic contact vernaculars. From a theoretical point of view, what is fascinating about these languages is their richness in constructions, that would be considered ungrammatical in standard Spanish, but which form the core grammar of these less-prestigious, but equally efficient, syntactic systems. The present study aims to explore some of the microsyntactic differences encountered between standard Spanish and ABS; in particular, it focuses on their nominal domain (their Determiner Phrase). The methodology adopted combines generative and sociolinguistic insights. The collection of the data included sociolinguistic interviews (Labov 1972) and grammaticality judgments. These two different strategies were combined in order to obtain more fine-grained generalizations on the structure of this language. The dissertation has two main objectives. The first one is to offer a syntactic description of the Afro-Bolivian Spanish (ABS) Determiner Phrase (DP) in order to ii provide a testing ground for verifying the feasibility of current linguistic hypotheses and, when appropriate, provide new solutions in light of the empirical data collected.

  • Mexican Bozal Spanish in Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz’S Villancicos: a Linguistic and Sociolinguistic Account
    Mexican Bozal Spanish in Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s Villancicos: A Linguistic and Sociolinguistic Account by Jorge E. Porras Sonoma State University Abstract This paper makes a brief linguistic and sociolinguistic analysis of the Spanish language as spoken by enslaved Africans during the Spanish Colony, particularly during the 17 th century, when Sor (Sister) Juana Inés de la Cruz published her Villamcicos. Thus, sounds, forms, and meanings, along with socio-cultural and ethnic features therein, are analyzed. It is shown that the Mexican writer nun imitated the Spanish speech of the enslaved learned as a second language (i.e., bozal), with considerable accuracy. It is suggested that this particular imitation should neither be taken simply as an amateur’s linguistic work, nor just as a repetition of the Spanish Golden Age literary imitations, due to Sor Juana’s substantial formation as a polyglot, as demonstrated in her Villancicos (Carols) poems. These poetic compositions are represented at a stage with Black and Indian characters playing folkloric roles as heteroglossia. Introduction Afro-Mexican Spanish is an interesting linguistic research topic still waiting for further study. Although the literature includes important contributions from well-known linguists and sociolinguists, interdisciplinary approaches from a linguistic standpoint are in dire need. This paper intends to contribute to this approach. It focuses on the analysis of the Spanish language as spoken by the enslaved African population brought to Mexico by Spanish Conquistadores , mostly around the 17 th and 18 th centuries. The paper shows that Sor Juana’s Villancicos (carols) contain Afro-Hispanic language in the form of Bozal Spanish1, that is, imperfect Spanish supposedly spoken by the enslaved African population, which Sor Juana imitated in her villancico poems.

  • 1 Traces of Portuguese in Afro-Yungueño Spanish? Abstract This Article Sheds New Light on the History of Afro-Yungueño Spanish
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 Traces of Portuguese in Afro-Yungueño Spanish? Perez, Danae Maria Abstract: This article sheds new light on the history of Afro-Yungueño Spanish (AY), an isolated variety of Spanish spoken by descendants of slaves in the Bolivian Yungas valleys, and examines the possibility of a Portuguese input to it. First, new ethnographic and historical data are introduced to show that the AY speakers in Mururata, Chijchipa, and Tocaña probably descend from African slaves who arrived in Bolivia during the 18th century from different parts of the Portuguese slave trade area. As this suggests that Portuguese may have been involved in the history of AY, the second part of this paper, after describing some of its particularities, compares AY with Africanized varieties of Portuguese, above all Afro- Brazilian Portuguese, to show that there is evidence to assume that AY is related to certain varieties of Afro-Portuguese. The final discussion considers the contributions of AY to the debates on Afro-Iberian speech varieties.

  • The Linguistic Legacy of Spanish and Portuguese: Colonial Expansion and Language Change J
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83175-8 - The Linguistic Legacy of Spanish and Portuguese: Colonial Expansion and Language Change J. Clancy Clements Frontmatter More information The Linguistic Legacy of Spanish and Portuguese The historical spread of Spanish and Portuguese throughout the world provides a rich source of data for linguists studying how languages evolve. This volume analyses the development of Portuguese and Spanish from Latin and their subsequent transformation into several non-standard varieties. These include Portuguese- and Spanish-based creoles, bozal Spanish and Chinese Coolie Spanish in Cuba, Chinese Immigrant Spanish, Andean Spanish, and Barranquenho, a Portuguese dialect on the Portugal–Spain border. J. Clancy Clements demonstrates that grammar formation takes place not only in parent-to-child communication, but also, importantly, in adult-to-adult communication. He argues that cultural identity is also an important factor in language formation and maintenance, especially in the cases of Portuguese, Castilian, and Barranquenho. More generally, the contact varieties of Portuguese and Spanish have been shaped by demographics, by prestige, by linguistic input, and by general cognitive abilities and limitations, as well as by the dynamics of speech community. j. clancy clements is Professor of Linguistics and Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83175-8 - The Linguistic Legacy of Spanish and Portuguese: Colonial Expansion

  • The Upper Guinea Origins of Papiamentu Linguistic and Historical Evidence*
    The Upper Guinea origins of Papiamentu Linguistic and historical evidence* Bart Jacobs Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München This paper deals with the linguistic and historical relationships between Papia- mentu and Upper Guinea Creole as spoken on the Santiago island of Cape Verde and in Guinea-Bissau and Casamance. In the linguistic section, the hypothesis that Papiamentu is a relexified offshoot of an early Upper Guinea Creole variety is lent support by focusing on the structural correspondences of the function words in five grammatical categories (pronouns, question words, prepositions, conjunctions and reciprocity and reflexivity). In addition, salient data from several early (18th and 19th century) Papiamentu texts is presented. The histori- cal section provides a framework that accounts for the linguistic transfer from Upper Guinea to Curaçao in the second half of the 17th century. Keywords: Papiamentu, Upper Guinea Creole, relexification, function words, 17th century slave trade, first Dutch West India Company, Gorée, Sephardim 1. Introduction This paper is concerned with the Afro-Portuguese origins of Papiamentu (PA). To clarify these origins I will focus on both the linguistic and historical relationships between PA and the Upper Guinea branch of Portuguese-based Creole (UGC) as spoken on the Santiago island of Cape Verde (SCV), and in Guinea-Bissau and * I owe a large debt of gratitude to Lucille Berry-Haseth, Ulrich Detges, Anthony Grant, Toby Green, Tjerk Hagemeijer, Rigmar Haynes, John Holm, Richard Hooi, Silvio Jonis, Sidney Jou- bert, Ellen-Petra Kester, Wim Klooster, Mirto Laclé, Annette Mantlik, John McWhorter, Mikael Parkvall, Matthias Perl, Sebastian Postlep, Josep Quer, Nicolas Quint, Joseph Salmons, Armin Schwegler, Ronnie Severing, Bastiaan van der Velden, Florimon van Putte, Igma van Putte-De Windt and the anonymous Diachronica reviewers for valuable comments, suggestions and other help.

  • Chabacano/Spanish and the Philippine Linguistic Identity John M. Lipski the Pennsylvania State University 0. Introduction In
    Chabacano/Spanish and the Philippine linguistic identity John M. Lipski The Pennsylvania State University 0. Introduction In the linguistic profile of the Philippines, one of the most elusive elements to categorize and acknowledge the Spanish contribution. The amount of Spanish lexical incursions into the major Philippine language families is beyond dispute; less well understood is the extent to which the Spanish language is actively used and understood throughout the nation. Finally, and most germane to the topic of this symposium, is the inclusion, classification, and appreciation of a group of languages known to linguists as Philippine Creole Spanish, and to the speech communties themselves as Chabacano. Like many other creole languages, the name Chabacano itself stems from a derisive Spanish term meaning clumsy, ill-formed, and vulgar. Although within the PCS/Chabacano-speaking communities this word has lost the negative connotation and refers only to the language itself, many enlightened community members avoid the term Chabacano and prefer instead the regional designations of Caviteño, Ternateño, and especially Zamboangueño. Throughout the history of the Philippines Chabacano in its various manifestations has remained at the margins of the country's linguistic repertoire, ignored by many, repudiated by those who aware of its existence (this even includes many speech community members), ambiguously classified by Philippine language typologists, and truly appreciated only by the elite subset of professional linguists who specialize
