A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF LANGUAGE MIXTURE BETWEEN ASTURIAN AND SPANISH By LUCIA HERMO DEL TESO M.A. in Spanish, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, 2015 B.A. in English Philology, Universidad de Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain, 2013 Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Linguistics The University of Montana Missoula, MT May 2017 Approved by: Scott Whittenburg, Dean of The Graduate School Graduate School Dr. Mizuki Miyashita, Chair Linguistics Dr. Tully Thibeau Linguistics Dr. Pablo Requena Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures Dr. Maria del Carmen Parafita Couto Leiden University Centre for Linguistics Hermo del Teso, Lucía, M.A. Spring 2017 Linguistics A preliminary study of language mixture between Asturian and Spanish Chairperson: Dr. Mizuki Miyashita This thesis presents a preliminary analysis of language mixture between Asturian and Spanish produced by Asturian speakers. Asturian is an endangered non- official language, closely related to Spanish, spoken in northwestern Spain. Asturian and Spanish have been in contact since the 14th century (Barnes, 2013). According to Thomason (2001), language contact can lead to different outcomes, like language mixture, language change, or language death. This study offers an investigation of forms in the Asturian language as a result of language contact between Asturian and Spanish. Data used is from an episode of a non-scripted TV show broadcasted in Asturian, which was transcribed and analyzed specifically for this study. The results show that language mixture between Asturian and Spanish occurs at different linguistic levels (i.e., conversation, intonation unit, clause, phrase, and word). Mixtures at the word level and in possessive articles are further analyzed. This study also bares several theoretical implications such as superstratum and substratum interference (Thomason and Kaufman, 1988), the Matrix Language-Frame model (Myers-Scotton, 1993), structural borrowing (Thomason and Kaufman, 1988), and language mode (Grosjean, 2011). It discusses that Asturian speakers in the data source are speaking in bilingual language mode, and their production in Asturian exhibits structural borrowing from Spanish. Furthermore, certain Asturian features have been systematically replaced by Spanish features, implying that another consequence of contact with Spanish may be language change. Since Asturian and Spanish are typologically very similar, I suggest that these changes, although seemingly minor, may be a symptom of language shift. Since this study deals with typologically close languages, it raises questions that may advance our understanding of language contact. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Dr. Mizuki Miyashita, for being extremely supportive since I started my degree, and especially throughout the process of working on this thesis. Without her advice, her encouragement, but especially her patience, I would not have been able to finish it (or even start it). I am very happy and thankful I got to work with and learn from her, during her classes, this thesis, and as a TA for her class. I would also like to thank the members of my committee. Dr. Tully Thibeau taught me during my four semesters here and was always willing to help. His seminar on Language Contact was particularly valuable. Dr. Pablo Requena was always available to answer questions and have discussions that helped me make progress in this thesis. Dr. Carmen Parafita Couto also offered her help and feedback when I needed it, even though I did not know her personally. The other professors at the Linguistics Program (Dr. Irene Appelbaum, Dr. Rebecca Wood, Dr. Leora Bar-el, and Dr. Susan Penfield) inspired me in their classes, and I feel lucky to have been their student and have learned from them. This program feels like a small family, and I am privileged to have witnessed everybody’s professionalism. I also want to thank Lee Ann Millar for being such a supportive mentor during my time as an EASL TA. My classmates (Alexis, Calvin, Reem, Amirah, Sang, Ahmad, Laurren, Bonny, Kelly, and Dannii) and everybody in the Linguistics Club were also very supportive, and I am very glad I got to meet them and have discussions with them. ‘Fun beer Friday’ with Bonny helped me stay mentally healthy, and introduced me to the wonderful beers brewed in Missoula. Finally, I want to thank my family, especially my parents and my brother, for being so supportive in the distance, for letting me practice my Spanish on Skype every weekend, and for mailing my favorite cookies and cheese for my birthday; my friends from Spain, because even iii though I don’t see them that much anymore, we are still there for each other; Adam’s family for their hospitality (especially Laura for making sure I had my weekly dose of pancakes); and Adam, because he rocks.

  • Ehrensperger Report
    American Name Society 51st Annual Ehrensperger Report 2005 A Publication of the American Name Society Michael F. McGoff, Editor PREFACE After a year’s hiatus the Ehrensperger Report returns to its place as a major publication of the American Name Society (ANS). This document marks the 51st year since its introduction to the membership by Edward C. Ehrensperger. For over twenty-five years, from 1955 to 1982, he compiled and published this annual review of scholarship. Edward C. Ehrensperger 1895-1984 As usual, it is a partial view of the research and other activity going on in the world of onomastics, or name study. In a report of this kind, the editor must make use of what comes in, often resulting in unevenness. Some of the entries are very short; some extensive, especially from those who are reporting not just for themselves but also for the activity of a group of people. In all cases, I have assumed the prerogative of an editor and have abridged, clarified, and changed the voice of many of the submissions. I have encouraged the submission of reports by email or electronically, since it is much more efficient to edit text already typed than to type the text myself. For those not using email, I strongly encourage sending me written copy. There is some danger, however, in depending on electronic copy: sometimes diacritical marks or other formatting matters may not have come through correctly. In keeping with the spirit of onomastics and the original Ehrensperger Report, I have attempted where possible to report on research and publication under a person’s name.

  • Dialects of Spanish and Portuguese
    30 Dialects of Spanish and Portuguese JOHN M. LIPSKI 30.1 Basic Facts 30.1.1 Historical Development Spanish and Portuguese are closely related Ibero‐Romance languages whose origins can be traced to the expansion of the Latin‐speaking Roman Empire to the Iberian Peninsula; the divergence of Spanish and Portuguese began around the ninth century. Starting around 1500, both languages entered a period of global colonial expansion, giving rise to new vari- eties in the Americas and elsewhere. Sources for the development of Spanish and Portuguese include Lloyd (1987), Penny (2000, 2002), and Pharies (2007). Specific to Portuguese are fea- tures such as the retention of the seven‐vowel system of Vulgar Latin, elision of intervocalic /l/ and /n/ and the creation of nasal vowels and diphthongs, the creation of a “personal” infinitive (inflected for person and number), and retention of future subjunctive and pluper- fect indicative tenses. Spanish, essentially evolved from early Castilian and other western Ibero‐Romance dialects, is characterized by loss of Latin word‐initial /f‐/, the diphthongiza- tion of Latin tonic /ɛ/ and /ɔ/, palatalization of initial C + L clusters to /ʎ/, a complex series of changes to the sibilant consonants including devoicing and the shift of /ʃ/ to /x/, and many innovations in the pronominal system. 30.1.2 The Spanish Language Worldwide Reference grammars of Spanish include Bosque (1999a), Butt and Benjamin (2011), and Real Academia Española (2009–2011). The number of native or near‐native Spanish speakers in the world is estimated to be around 500 million. In Europe, Spanish is the official language of Spain, a quasi‐official language of Andorra and the main vernacular language of Gibraltar; it is also spoken in adjacent parts of Morocco and in Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony.

  • 2006 Abstracts
    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.

  • The Linguistic Experience of Italians in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1890-1914: Language Shift As Seen Through Social Spaces ______
    THE LINGUISTIC EXPERIENCE OF ITALIANS IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA, 1890-1914: LANGUAGE SHIFT AS SEEN THROUGH SOCIAL SPACES ________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________________ by Maria Italiano-McGreevy January 2013 Examining Committee Members: Augusto Lorenzino, Dissertation Advisor, Spanish and Portuguese Jonathan Holmquist, Examination Committee Chair, Spanish and Portuguese Paul Toth, Internal Reader, Spanish and Portuguese Gabriella Romani, External Reader, Italian Studies, Seton Hall University ! ABSTRACT From 1890-1914, Argentina received a large influx of Italian immigrants who wanted to “hacer la América”, or live the American dream of economic prosperity. With Italian immigrants representing nearly half of all immigrants entering Argentina, the government strived to create a new sense of Argentine pride and nationalism. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate and analyze the linguistic experience of Italian immigrants in Buenos Aires, Argentina, applying Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social space and linguistic markets, and contact language theories to explain the attrition and shift of the Italian language. This study identifies three relevant social spaces that contributed to the linguistic experience of Italian immigrants in Buenos Aires: 1). conventillos or immigrant housing 2.) school community, and 3.) mutual aid societies. Within each social space thrived a linguistic market which language played a key role in the way people interacted and identified with each other. First, the conventillos were part of an alternative linguistic market in which cocoliche, a transitional language, thrived as a way for Italians to communicate with immigrants from different countries.

  • Los Vocables Asturians De Antoni De Bastero Y Su Probable Informante, El Cardenal Cienfuegos
    Rebut: 31/V/2017 Acceptat: 25/VII/2017 LOS VOCABLES ASTURIANS DE ANTONI DE BASTERO Y SU PROBABLE INFORMANTE, EL CARDENAL CIENFUEGOS Juan Carlos BUSTO CORTINA Universidad de Oviedo No son muchas las referencias a la lengua asturiana ni a su léxico anteriores al siglo XVIII. Todo lo más, se hallan ocasionales inclusiones de voces o frases asturianas en auto- res como Eugenio de Salazar, que transcribe dos versos (de sendos cantares) y dos frases con alguna voz de interpretación discutida (González Ollé 1977: 53-61; Pensado 1982: 34-35). Pero, sin duda, el corpus más numeroso son los 49 refranes que se encuentran en la colección del Comendador Hernán Núñez (1555), conjunto fraseológico y léxico de gran interés tanto para la paremiología como para la lexicografía asturianas, donde apa- recen formas arcaicas poco o nada presentes hoy en asturiano: ne ‘ni’, lomada ‘fama’ [< nōmĭnāta], fabu (DGLA, s. v.) [< făvum], etc.). También se ha destacado la presencia de palabras asturianas (o leonesas) en obras como La pícara Justina (cuelmo, desgañir ‘des- gañitar’, gargüelo, mazcar, mega ‘bruja’, tosta, etc.), en Las famosas asturianas (Cane- llada 1982: 23-27) de Lope de Vega (soldemente, cada que o zomirse, junto a muchas formas —a veces aberrantes— que incorporan soluciones fonéticas y morfosintácticas asturleonesas) o en tantas otras que utilizan la llamada «fabla» (Salvador Plans 1992; Busto 2000: 60). Voces bables también aparecen en los villancicos puestos en boca de asturianos que formaron parte de los repertorios de las capillas musicales de muchas ca- tedrales y conventos de toda España en los siglos XVII y XVIII, donde se hallan textos que son meros remedos del habla asturiana junto a otros escritos en un asturiano bastante pu- ro.1 Sin embargo, es evidente que en ninguna de las obras citadas la presencia de asturia- nismos obedece a un interés filológico.

  • Comparison Between the French and Asturian Bilingual Primary Education Systems
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by PublicacionesDidácticas (E-Journal) Comparison between the french and asturian bilingual primary education systems Autor: Fernandez Fernandez, Beatriz (Maestra. Especialidad en Educación Infantil, Maestra de Educación Infantil). Público: Profesores de lengua extranjera. Materia: Bilingüismo. Idioma: Inglés. Title: Comparison between the french and asturian bilingual primary education systems. Abstract Although France has been traditionally reluctant to Foreign Language teaching we can say its intentions are deep and have a wide point of view as they focus in aspects such as integration, cultural awareness and other sociological aspects. The case of Asturias is more a policy of fast implementation and essay-error oriented towards work rather than culture in some cases in the real life application. Let´s see this kind of diffenrence Keywords: education, bilingualism, foreign language, culture Título: Comparación entre el sistema bilingüe francés y el asturiano. Resumen Podemos observar que mientras que en el país de Francia ha sido tradicional el interés existente por los idiomas extranjeros podemos decir que ha ido creciendo su integración cultural y otros aspectos socioculturales. El caso de la región de Asturias es mas un caso de política y ensayo-error orientado al trabajo antes que a la cultura en algunos casos reales de su aplicación. Vamos a ver las diferencias entre estos dos distintos sistemas de bilingüismo. Palabras clave: educacion, bilingüismo, idioma extranjero, cultura. Recibido 2018-09-08; Aceptado 2018-09-17; Publicado 2018-10-25; Código PD: 100033 INTRODUCTION Bilingualism is a complex concept and so are the different understandings and so are the executions of Bilingual Education around the world.
