Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le contact linguistique est le thème de ces Etudes afro-brésiliennes. Les six chapitres qui composent l'ouvrage discutent de propositions théoriques et épistémologiques qui permettent de mieux expliquer le contact des langues au Brésil. Ils traitent des conséquences du contact grammatical, tant au niveau syntaxique qu'au niveau phonologique, et examinent les effets du contact linguistique et culturel sur la sémantique et le lexique d'origine africaine dans le portugais parlé au Brésil. Les structures du portugais brésilien qui le distinguent du portugais européen peuvent être associées historiquement au contact massif de langues qui ont marqué les premiers siècles de l'histoire sociolinguistique du Brésil. Parmi ces structures, quelques-unes ont atteint un degré élevé de généralisation, touchant toutes les variétés de la langue parlée, y compris le portugais brésilien standard, tandis que d'autres sont restées cantonnées à ce qu'on appelle le portugais populaire brésilien, un ensemble de variétés qui incluent les parlers ruraux, depuis toujours plus réfractaires à l'influence de la norme urbaine. Cet ouvrage vise aussi à apporter une contribution supplémentaire à la mise en valeur de l'apport africain à la langue et à la culture brésiliennes et à susciter de nouvelles études sur les contacts de langues au Brésil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects novel contributions to comparative generative linguistics that “rethink” existing approaches to an extensive range of phenomena, domains, and architectural questions in linguistic theory. At the heart of the contributions is the tension between descriptive and explanatory adequacy which has long animated generative linguistics and which continues to grow thanks to the increasing amount and diversity of data available to us. The chapters develop novel insights into a number of core syntactic phenomena, such as the structure of and variation in diathesis, alignment types, case and agreement splits, and the syntax of null elements. Many of these contributions show the influence of research by Ian Roberts and collaborators and they provide varied perspectives on current research in synchronic and diachronic comparative syntax.

Insightful theoretical and historical discussions undergird richly detailed particular studies. The central focus unifies the diverse pieces, which are original, well-researched and reasoned, and clearly written. A solid contribution to scholarship in several fields (including linguistics, anthropology and Internet culture), the volume is also enjoyable to read. Its lively and appealing pieces on recent novels and contemporary trends lend a fresh and contemporary feel." -ÿProf. Pamela S. Saur, Lamar University, Texas

This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As rich as the development of the Spanish and Portuguese languages has been in Latin America, no single book has attempted to chart their complex history. Gathering essays by sociohistorical linguists working across the region, Salikoko S. Mufwene does just that in this book. Exploring the many different contact points between Iberian colonialism and indigenous cultures, the contributors identify the crucial parameters of language evolution that have led to today’s state of linguistic diversity in Latin America. The essays approach language development through an ecological lens, exploring the effects of politics, economics, cultural contact, and natural resources on the indigenization of Spanish and Portuguese in a variety of local settings. They show how languages adapt to new environments, peoples, and practices, and the ramifications of this for the spread of colonial languages, the loss or survival of indigenous ones, and the way hybrid vernaculars get situated in larger political and cultural forces. The result is a sophisticated look at language as a natural phenomenon, one that meets a host of influences with remarkable plasticity.

The book will offer those interested in linguistic rights insights into the dilemmas facing African countries, set against the backdrop of developments in the international framework for the promotion of linguistic rights. In drawing on Cameroonian policies of which he remains a key influencer, George Ngwane offers practical insights and bold solutions that should prove insightful for those tasked with determining the intricacies by which African development potential can be realised through measures that promote both the identities and the future socio-economic and development trajectories of their countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than two thousand languages spread over its territory, multilingualism is a common reality in Africa. The main official languages of most African countries are Indo-European, in many instances Romance. As they were primarily brought to Africa in the era of colonization, the areas discussed in this volume are thirty-five states that were once ruled by Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, or Spain, and the African regions still belonging to three of them. Twenty-six states are presented in relation to French, four to Italian, six to Portuguese, and two to Spanish. They are considered in separate chapters according to their sociolinguistic situation, linguistic history, external language policy, linguistic characteristics, and internal language policy. The result is a comprehensive overview of the Romance languages in modern-day Africa. It follows a coherent structure, offers linguistic and sociolinguistic information, and illustrates language contact situations, power relations, as well as the cross-fertilization and mutual enrichment emerging from the interplay of languages and cultures in Africa.

This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guinea-Bissau is a small country in West Africa, and yet it managed to wrest its independence from Portugal back in 1973, at the cost of a long and bitter struggle against seemingly implacable odds. This was a time to be proud of, and there was also a moment about two decades ago, when it looked like a trendsetter for democracy. Since then things have gone seriously wrong, with a collapsing infrastructure, a dilapidated economy and a political stage prone to military coups d’etats. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Guinea-Bissau tells the long and sometimes unpleasant story. However, like all the country historical dictionaries, it tells it several times and in several ways. First, the chronology traces the history of what became Guinea-Bissau, and this over a period of centuries and not just decades. Then the introduction recounts that history again, providing more insight and understanding, and conveys a good idea of how things are going now. The details follow in the dictionary section with entries on important persons, places, institutions, and events among other things. And the bibliography points to further reading.

This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Portuguese Language Continuum in Africa and Brazil is the first publication in English to offer studies on a whole set of varieties of Portuguese in Africa as well as Brazilian Portuguese. Authored by specialists on varieties of Portuguese in Africa and Brazil, the eleven chapters and the epilogue promote a dialogue between researchers interested in their genesis, sociohistories and linguistic properties. Most chapters directly address the idea of a continuum of Portuguese derived from parallel sociohistorical and linguistic factors in Africa and Brazil, due to the colonial expansion of the language to new multilingual settings. The volume contributes to the understanding of structural properties that are often shared by several varieties in this continuum, and describes the various situations and domains of language use as well as sociocultural contexts where they have emerged and where they are being used. As of 26 July 2021, the ebook edition is Open Access under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.

This book was released on 2024-09-23 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, Afro-Hispanic linguistics has produced vital knowledge at the intersection of African diaspora studies and Spanish sociolinguistics – yet many misconceptions persist in research literature. To challenge those biased assumptions, the contributions gathered in this volume present current research on Afro-Hispanic varieties from both sides of the Atlantic (Equatorial Guinean Spanish, Palenquero, Afro-Puerto Rican Spanish from Loíza, San Andrean [Colombia] Raizal Spanish) and address the influence of Portuguese-based Creoles on Afro-Hispanic varieties during the early colonial era. Conceived in cooperation with students, activists, social workers, civil servants, and researchers who work with Afro-Hispanic languages and communities (as well as with other languages and communities who suffer linguistic, social, and racial marginalization), this volume adopts a social justice framework that seeks tangible, material, and quality-of-life improvements for the speech communities in which it investigates. It includes best practices for empirical research, recruitment of respondents and informants, fieldwork and archival work, and pedagogical and community-facing applications of research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce volume réunit les contributions de quelques-uns des meilleurs spécialistes des langues régionales de France, réunis dans un cadre extérieur à l'hexagone pour un bilan distancié, interdisciplinaire et comparatif. Les textes, en français et en anglais, sont organisés en trois grandes parties : situation générale, problèmes institutionnels, études de cas. Des (socio)linguistes, ethnologues, géographes, juristes, responsbles de l'enseignement, couvrent le panorama global des problèmes qui se posent, soit par des analyses transversales de questions générales (identification, vitalité, perception politique), soit par l'analyse d'exemples précis (taux de pratiques diverses, situation institutionnelle et juridique, médias, actions culturelles, enseignement) pris dans six langues différentes (alsacien, basque, breton, corse, occitan, provençal). Trois caractéristiques originales marquent cet ensemble : une confrontation complémentaire entre une vision francophone et une vision anglophone de la question, la méthode du bilan global par échantillonnage, et enfin le souci d'articuler analyse scientifique et réflexion humaniste, observation objective et actions concrètes. Dans cet "état des lieux" à un tournant historique, se dessinent des pistes de repositionnement scientifique des problèmes ainsi que des mesures administratives et politiques. Des perspectives d'aménagment et d'évolutions sont évoquées, à partir d'une réflexion située dans le cadre de la transition vers l'Union européenne et de l'ouverture croissante des relations internationales.
