Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few generations of phonologists dealing with Polish have been struggling to find the true nature of the Polish nasal vowel. The strongest earlier claims postulated that Polish has no nasal vowels at all. The newer studies, however, suggest that phonemic nasal vowels are present in Polish phonology. Their behavior has been connected to their status in the syllable. Recently, data from second languages has been used to make conclusions about the phonology of native languages. This paper draws heavily on the works of Czaykowska-Higgins and Bethin with respect to the Polish nasal vowels and Osburne with respect to findings on the L1 throughout the L2. Nevertheless, this work is innovative since L2 Polish has not been studied at all, let alone in order to make conclusions about native Polish. The findings of this study, which compares the Polish of native speakers with the second language speech of native English speakers, confirm the phonemic status of the Polish nasal vowels in the native speech of Polish speakers. A new underlying structure of the Polish nasal vowel is postulated and, based on it, descriptions of the processes involving the Polish nasal vowels are provided. Furthermore, this study provides important insights from the perspective of the second language, and not only into Polish phonology. Most importantly, it allows us to draw conclusions with regard to the syllable structure in Universal Grammar. An unassociated X-position, called an empty slot, is postulated to be present underlyingly in the syllable structure in the mind of native Polish speakers, and perhaps speakers of other languages as well. The structure of this thesis is as follows. Chapter one is preliminary to the empirical study and presents a phonological analysis of the Polish nasal vowels and nasal consonants. This information is used in the discussion of the present state of knowledge of the Polish nasal vowels as established by consecutive phonological schools--Acquisition of Polish nasal vowel syllable by native English speakers 2 structuralism, standard generative phonology, and non-linear syllable-based phonology. The work of many authors who have suggested analyses of the Polish nasal vowels is considered. The presentation gives a comprehensive overview of all relevant issues before an attempt can be made to find the reasons for the differences in pronunciation of the nasal vowels by L1 and L2 Polish speakers; it is important to establish the phonological status of the nasal vowels before considering their pronunciation and representation by different groups of speakers. Chapter two contains the hypothesis followed by the actual empirical study. The tests, methods, and results are all presented. Based on the results of the study, a new analysis of the Polish nasal vowel is proposed involving a new underlying form, and this is applied to the explanation of the facts introduced in Chapter one. Chapter two concludes with a discussion of the results of the study. The importance of the study for both theoretical phonology and inter language phonology is considered.

Download or read book The Phonology of Polish written by Edmund Gussmann and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-10-18 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the most complete phonology of contemporary Polish ever published. It is topic-oriented and presents the fundamental characteristics and problems associated with each topic, among them syllable structure, vowel-zero alternations, palatalizations, and other vowel and consonant changes. Professor Gussmann re-examines assumptions about phonological contrasts and alternations, and raises and addresses central questions in morphophonology. He takes morphophonology to be systematically separate from phonology. Palatalizations, he shows, are crucial to Polish, as both phonological and morphophonological phenomena: their detailed description leads him to a systematic presentation of vocalic alternations. The book develops a Government Phonology account of Polish, but is primarily a description of the language with the model subordinated to the organization of data. All the many examples used to illustrate the presentation are transcribed in standard IPA, and translated. This important book will interest all scholars and advanced students of Polish and Slavic phonology.
Download or read book Contemporary research in minoritized and diaspora languages of Europe written by Matt Coler and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a collection of research reports on multilingualism and language contact ranging from Romance, to Germanic, Greco and Slavic languages in situations of contact and diaspora. Most of the contributions are empirically-oriented studies presenting first-hand data based on original fieldwork, and a few focus directly on the methodological issues in such research. Owing to the multifaceted nature of contact and diaspora phenomena (e.g. the intrinsic transnational essence of contact and diaspora, and the associated interplay between majority and minoritized languages and multilingual practices in different contact settings, contact-induced language change, and issues relating to convergence) the disciplinary scope is broad, and includes ethnography, qualitative and quantitative sociolinguistics, formal linguistics, descriptive linguistics, contact linguistics, historical linguistics, and language acquisition. Case studies are drawn from Italo-Romance varieties in the Americas, Spanish-Nahuatl contact, Castellano Andino, Greko/Griko in Southern Italy, Yiddish in Anglophone communities, Frisian in the Netherlands, Wymysiöryś in Poland, Sorbian in Germany, and Pomeranian and Zeelandic Flemish in Brazil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrastive Linguistics, roughly defined as a subdiscipline of linguistics which is concerned with the comparison of two or more (subsystems of) languages, has long been associated primarily with language teaching. Apart from this applied aspect, however, it also has a strong theoretical purpose, contributing to our understanding of language typology and language universals. Issues in theoretical CL, which also feature in this volume, are the choice of model, the notions of equivalence and contrast, and directionality of descriptions. Languages used for illustration in this volume include English, German, Danish, and Polish.
