Download or read book Multilingual Individuals and Multilingual Societies written by Kurt Braunmüller and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 25 contributions of this volume represent a selection from the more than 120 papers originally presented at the International Conference on “Multilingual Individuals and Multilingual Societies” (MIMS), held in Hamburg (October 2010) and organized by the Collaborative Research Center “Multilingualism” after twelve years of successful research. It presents a panorama of contemporary research in multilingualism covering three fields of investigation: (1) the simultaneous and successive acquisition of more than one language, including language attrition in multilingual settings, (2) historical aspects of multilingualism and variance, and (3) multilingual communication. The papers cover a vast variety of linguistic phenomena including morphology, syntax, segmental and prosodic phonology as well as discourse production and language use, taking both individual and societal aspects of multilingualism into account. The languages addressed include numerous Romance, Slavic and Germanic varieties as well as Welsh, Hungarian, Turkish, and several South African autochthonous languages.

Download or read book Language Acquisition and Change written by Jurgen M Meisel and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under which circumstances does grammatical change come about? Is the child the principle agent of change as suggested by historical linguistics?This book discusses diachronic change of languages in terms of restructuring of speakers' internal grammatical knowledge. Efforts to construct a theory of diachronic change consistent with findings from psycholinguistics are scarce. Here, these questions are therefore addressed against the background of insights from research on monolingual and bilingual acquisition. Given that children are remarkably successful in reconstructing the grammars of their ambient languages, commonly held views need to be reconsidered according to which language change is primarily triggered by structural ambiguity in the input and in settings of language contact. In an innovative take on this matter, the authors argue that morphosyntactic change in core areas of grammar, especially where parameters of Universal Grammar are concerned, typically happens in settings involving second language acquisition. The children acting as agents of restructuring are either L2 learners themselves or are continuously exposed to the speech of L2 speakers of their target languages. Based on a variety of case studies, this discussion sheds new light on phenomena of change which have occupied historical linguists since the 19th century and will be welcomed by advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers in the fields of historical linguistics and language acquisition.
Download or read book Congruence in Contact Induced Language Change written by Juliane Besters-Dilger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern contact linguistics has primarily focused on contact between languages that are genetically unrelated and structurally distant. This compendium of articles looks instead at the effects of pre–existing structural congruency between the affected languages at the time of their initial contact, using the Romance and Slavic languages as examples. In contact of this kind, both genetic and typological similarities play a part.
Download or read book Cyclical Change written by Elly van Gelderen and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linguistic Cycles are ever present in language change and involve a phrase or word that gradually disappears and is replaced by a new linguistic item. The most well-known cycles involve negatives, where an initial single negative, such as not, is reinforced by another negative, such as no thing, and subjects, where full pronouns are reanalyzed as endings on the verb. This book presents new data and insights on the well-known cyclical changes as well as on less well-known ones, such as the preposition, auxiliary, copula, modal, and complementation cycles. Part I covers the negative cycle with chapters looking in great detail at the steps that are typical in this cycle. Part II focuses on pronouns, auxiliaries, and the left periphery. Part III includes work on modals, prepositions, and complementation. The book ends with a psycholinguistic chapter. This book brings together linguists from a variety of theoretical frameworks and contributes to new directions in work on language change.
Download or read book Language Discourse and Identity in Central Europe written by J. Carl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central Europe has always been a highly multilingual region but how has this been affected by the social and political transformations of the last 20 years? The German language in particular has long played a key role in processes of identification here: but what role is the relationship between German and other languages playing today in the reshaping of societies and communities in this rapidly changing region? How is this relationship articulated in discourses on language and language ideologies? How is it manifested in individual repertoires and social practices? How is it determined by social and cultural policies? How is it exploited in the construction of European identities? These are just some of the questions addressed in this book, in which individual studies explore language practices in the multilingual contact zones of central Europe and the impact of both past and present migrations. Analysing a wide range of sources from media texts to language biographies and from business meetings to salsa classes, the authors demonstrate the local effects of global processes and some of the many ways in which language figures in contemporary social change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indien, China, Politik, Wirtschaft, Kultur Der Vorsprung Europas als Teil der westlichen Welt scheint heute in materieller und institutioneller Hinsicht in Frage gestellt zu sein. 200 Jahre nach dem Aufbruch insbesondere Westeuropas in das industrielle Zeitalter ist gerade sein wirtschaftlich-technischer Vorsprung, wenn nicht eingeholt, so doch stark bedrängt. Vor diesem Hintergrund erheben sich Fragen zur europäischen Modernisierungsgeschichte, die im vorliegenden Band als "Referenzmodell" analysiert und den Entwicklungspfaden Chinas und Indiens gegenübergestellt wird: - Was lässt sich aus der Rekonstruktion des europäischen Weges lernen? - Lassen sich die für Europa gültigen Erfolgsfaktoren in andere Kulturkreise übertragen? - Wird der wirtschaftlich-technische Entwicklungspfad der europäisch-westlichen Welt zwangsläufig zum Leitbild der Entwicklung schlechthin? - Ist das europäische Entwicklungsmodell angesichts neuer Herausforderungen und Konkurrenzen als robust einzuschätzen oder muss auch Europa lernen? Die hier versammelten Analysen von Kennern der europäischen und aussereuropäischen Geschichte, die als Historiker, Ökonomen, Kulturwissenschafter und Geographen in der Entwicklungsforschung aktiv sind, beruhen auf Beiträgen zur gleichnamigen Tagung des "Forums für Universität und Gesellschaft" der Universität Bern.
