Language Contact and the Origins of the Germanic Languages / Peter Schrijver

Public ISBD Titre : Language Contact and the Origins of the Germanic Languages : Mechanisms of Linguistic Change Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter Schrijver, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Routledge Studies in Linguistics Importance : 244 p. Format : 23.11 x 15.75 x 1.78 centimetres (0.43 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-35548-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language-Contact  Origins-Germanic Languages. Résumé : History, archaeology, and human evolutionary genetics provide us with an increasingly detailed view of the origins and development of the peoples that live in Northwestern Europe. This book aims to restore the key position of historical linguistics in this debate by treating the history of the Germanic languages as a history of its speakers. It focuses on the role that language contact has played in creating the Germanic languages, between the first millennium BC and the crucially important early medieval period. Chapters on the origins of English, German, Dutch, and the Germanic language family as a whole illustrate how the history of the sounds of these languages provide a key that unlocks the secret of their genesis: speakers of Latin, Celtic and Balto-Finnic switched to speaking Germanic and in the process introduced a 'foreign accent' that caught on and spread at the expense of types of Germanic that were not affected by foreign influence. The book is aimed at linguists, historians, archaeologists and anyone who is interested in what languages can tell us about the origins of their speakers. Note de contenu : Table of Contents: 1. Introduction 2. The Rise of English 3. The Origin of High German 4. The Origins of Dutch 5. Beginnings 6. Conclusions.

Referring in a Second Language / Jonathon Ryan

Public ISBD Titre : Referring in a Second Language : Studies on Reference to Person in a Multilingual World Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jonathon Ryan, Auteur ; Peter Crosthwaite, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2021 Collection : Routledge Studies in Linguistics Importance : 1 vol. (213 p.) Présentation : ill., couv. ill. Format : 24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-03-217284-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:428 phonetique et linguistique Résumé : The introduction and tracking of reference to people or individuals, known as referential movement, is a central feature of coherence, and accounts for “about every third word of discourse”. Located at the intersection of pragmatics and grammar, reference is now proving a rich and enduring source of insight into second language development. The challenge for second language (L2) learners involves navigating the selection and positioning of reference in the target language, continually shifting and balancing the referential means used to maintain coherence, while remaining acutely sensitive to the discourse and social context. The present volume focuses on how L2 learners meet that challenge, bringing together both eminent and up-and-coming researchers in the field of L2 acquisition. The chapters address a range of problems in second language acquisition (SLA) (e.g., form-function mapping, first language [L1] influence, developmental trajectories), and do so in relation to various theoretical approaches to reference (e.g., Accessibility Theory, Givenness Hierarchy). The global outlook of these studies relates to the L2 acquisition of English, French, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish and covers a diverse range of situational contexts including heritage language learning, English as a medium of instruction, and the development of sociolinguistic competence.
