Download or read book Western European Languages written by Ian James Parsley Mphil and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Western European languages - where they came from, how they developed across the globe, and what still binds them together. However, it does so in a deliberately concise manner; in just a few pages, the user has an immediate platform from which to gain proficiency in any individual language or even in a group of languages. Providing an outline of all major Germanic and Romance languages, ancient and modern, and covering them not just as they have come to be used in Europe but as they have developed across the world, this guide also adds extra insight, interest and intrigue to the language learning journey - and is thus an indispensable reference for any language enthusiast.
Download or read book Minority Languages from Western Europe and Russia written by Svetlana Moskvitcheva and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comparative approach within a general framework of studies on minority languages of Western Europe and Russia and former Soviet space, focusing on linguistic, legal and categorization aspects. It is connected to a comparative study of the semantic contents of the terms referring to the different categories of these languages. The volume features multidisciplinary approaches, first linguistic (sociolinguistic and semantic) and legal, and investigates the limits of country-to-country comparisons, mirroring cases from France, Spain, and China with their counterparts from Soviet and later Russian configurations. Special examples, from a region as Ingria and a country as Tajikistan, help to contextualize this approach. In addition, the notion of migration languages, also minority languages, is studied in bilingual contexts, both from external (German, Greek, Chinese ...) and internal origins (Chuvash), linked to the urbanization in contemporary societies that has fostered the presence of these languages in major cities.

Download or read book Global Eurolinguistics written by P. Sture Ureland and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focus is on the world-wide phenomenon of linguistic migration to North America. Most treatments of linguistic transfer of European languages to the North American Continent have so far been written within a narrow national-philological framework for each language emigrated, although there are great similarities in the overall history of the migrating languages, both from a micro-linguistic and macro-linguistic point of view. Formal-linguistic phenomena such as for instance borrowing, mixing and code switching occur everywhere in a similar typology of interference and transference which is exemplified in every article of this book. Also the socioethnic development of most north-western European languages in North America demonstrate the same pattern: cultural convergence and loss of distinct ethnic markers in the course of time and change of generations under concomitant loss of the Old World languages. This lack of globality in dealing with the languages emigrated to North America is due to one-sided training in linguistics and is to be seen as an outcome of national upbringing not only in the national philologies but also the nationally-centred type of structural and generative linguistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavic Europe: A Selected Bibliography in the Western European Languages, Comprising History, Languages and Literatures The Great War has often demonstrated how little the Western World really knows about Slavic Europe. The causes of this profound ignorance or indifference are not difficult to find. A glance at the historical evolution of Europe will help to explain why Western Europe, though always strongly often decisively influenced by events in Eastern Europe, showed little interest in that part of the world. It will be remembered that European civilization shifted with the discovery of the Americas from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic basin. Slavic Europe thereby became less accessible to the new West and its creative ideas - it is, in fact, farther te moved geographically from the Atlantic Ocean than from the Mediterranean Sea.
