Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first description of Goemai, a West Chadic language of Nigeria. Goemai is spoken in a language contact area, and this contact has shaped Goemai grammar to the extent that it can be considered a fairly untypical Chadic language.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Language Contact written by Anthony P. Grant and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every language has been influenced in some way by other languages. In many cases, this influence is reflected in words which have been absorbed from other languages as the names for newer items or ideas, such as perestroika, manga, or intifada (from Russian, Japanese, and Arabic respectively). In other cases, the influence of other languages goes deeper, and includes the addition of new sounds, grammatical forms, and idioms to the pre-existing language. For example, English's structure has been shaped in such a way by the effects of Norse, French, Latin, and Celtic--though English is not alone in its openness to these influences. Any features can potentially be transferred from one language to another if the sociolinguistic and structural circumstances allow for it. Further, new languages--pidgins, creoles, and mixed languages--can come into being as the result of language contact. In thirty-three chapters, The Oxford Handbook of Language Contact examines the various forms of contact-induced linguistic change and the levels of language which have provided instances of these influences. In addition, it provides accounts of how language contact has affected some twenty languages, spoken and signed, from all parts of the world. Chapters are written by experts and native-speakers from years of research and fieldwork. Ultimately, this Handbook provides an authoritative account of the possibilities and products of contact-induced linguistic change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Afrika lebt - noch! - eine mundliche Tradition von Wissensgut, die mit der Verschriftlichung einiger weniger afrikanischer Verkehrssprachen verloren zu gehen droht. Besonders die zahlreichen Minderheitensprachen, zu denen das Mushere auf dem zentralnigerianischen Plateau zahlt, laufen Gefahr, dem allgemeinen Trend zur bevorzugten Verwendung uberregionaler Sprachen zum Opfer zu fallen. Lyang Lu, etwa mit "Poetischer Hausschatz" wiederzugeben, erfasst einen Grossteil der Sprichworter und Redensarten, wie sie die Alltagssprache dieses kleinen Bauernvolkes am Sudrand des Plateaus "wurzen" und bereichern. Mit diesem Werk betritt das Mushere erstmalig die Welt der Schriftlichkeit: Sowohl die Orthographie als auch die Regeln der Grammatik erfahren hier ihre erste wissenschaftliche Fixierung. Die Sprichworter werden in drei Stufen ins Englische ubertragen: Wort fur Wort, wortliche Ubersetzung und freie Ubertragung. Diesem Hauptteil, dem eine Kurzgrammatik vorangestellt ist, folgt ein etwa 1000 Lexeme umfassendes Mushere - Englisch / Englisch - Mushere Worterverzeichnis.
