Salmons, University of WisconsinJohn Benjamins Publishing Company2015Philadelphia :John Benjamins Publishing Company,[2015]©20151 online resource (424 pages) illustrationsStudies in language variation,1872-9592 ;volume 18"This volume grows from recent collaboration among a group of scholars working on Germanic immigrant languages spoken in North America, initially faculty and students working on German dialects and Norwegian, and steadily expanding since to cover the family more broadly. More structured cooperation began with a small workshop at the University of Wisconsin-Madison four years ago and continued with larger workshops sponsored in turn by the University of Oslo, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Iceland. The volume you're reading is the first group publication in English (though see Johannessen and Salmons 2012 for a collection of papers on and written in Norwegian), and several others are in preparation. Most of the papers included in this volume have grown from the ongoing set of international workshops just sketched. These were started by the co-editors, led initially by the first co-editor, a trajectory reflected in the relatively heavy representation of work on Norwegian. A number of the chapters have been developed specifically from these networks and ongoing dialogues about heritage languages"--Introduction.Print version: 9789027234988 Includes bibliographical references and index.This book presents new empirical findings about Germanic heritage varieties spoken in North America: Dutch, German, Pennsylvania Dutch, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, West Frisian and Yiddish, and varieties of English spoken both by heritage speakers and in communities after language shift. The volume focuses on three critical issues underlying the notion of 'heritage language': acquisition, attrition and change. The book offers theoretically-informed discussions of heritage language processes across phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics and the lexicon, in addition to work on sociolinguistics, historical linguistics and contact settings. With this, the volume also includes a variety of frameworks and approaches, synchronic and diachronic. Most European Germanic languages share some central linguistic features, such as V2, gender and agreement in the nominal system, and verb inflection. As minority language faced with a majority language like English, similarities and differences emerge in patterns of variation and change in these heritage languages. These empirical findings shed new light on mechanisms and processes --Provided by publisher.Studies in language variation ;volume 18.Germanic languagesNorth AmericaHistoryCongressesLanguages in contactNorth AmericaCongressesLanguage acquisitionNorth AmericaCongressesGermanic languagesInfluence on EnglishCongressesEnglish languageInfluence on GermanicCongressesBilingualismNorth AmericaCongressesSociolinguisticsLanguage changeGermanic linguisticsLanguage variationGermanic languagesHistoryLanguages in contactLanguage acquisitionGermanic languagesInfluence on EnglishEnglish languageInfluence on GermanicBilingualism430.097Janne Bondi Johannessenauth167437Johannessen Janne BondiSalmons Joe1956-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910131575303321Germanic heritage languages in North America3390567UNINA
