Quelques Remarques Sur Les Belgicismes Métalinguistiques, Jean-Nicolas De Surmont
Quelques Remarques Sur Les Belgicismes Métalinguistiques, Jean-Nicolas De Surmont
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
Of all Belgicisms, only a few have metalinguistic connotation and they have to be considered of special interest in this respect, even if the literature on French in Belgium has not addressed this issue specifically. This essay proposes some observations on these few important words, supported by recent lexicographical descriptions and data obtained through research undertaken in collaboration with Michel Francard of the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium).
The Role Of Asynchronous Computer Mediated Communication On Enhancing Cultural Awareness, Elizabeth Zeiss, Christina Isabelli
The Role Of Asynchronous Computer Mediated Communication On Enhancing Cultural Awareness, Elizabeth Zeiss, Christina Isabelli
Scholarship
This study investigates the effect of CMC participation on language learners’ willingness to learn more about the target culture through study abroad. Also, it seeks to discern whether CMCactivities improve language learners’ self-perception that they have learned more about the target culture. An experimental group of 23 U.S. university students engaged in CMC with Mexican university students with a control group of 38 students from the U.S. university. We administered a questionnaire grouped thematically around seven topics. The data suggest that CMC may have a more positive effect on the acquisition of cultural awareness of students that engage in CMC …
The Consequences Of Conflicting Stereotypes: Bostonian Perceptions Of U.S. Dialects, Laura Hartley
The Consequences Of Conflicting Stereotypes: Bostonian Perceptions Of U.S. Dialects, Laura Hartley
Faculty Publications - Department of World Languages, Sociology & Cultural Studies
This study examines the perceptual dialectology of residents of eastern Massachusetts. The data reveal detailed attention to perceived dialect boundaries, particularly within the northeastern U.S., but also in other regions of the country. As is commonly the case in perceptual dialectology work, the respondents use the tasks presented to them to differentiate their home area from other states. In doing so, however, they exhibit an interesting mix of linguistic security and insecurity. The analysis suggests that respondents have internalized two common but conflicting American stereotypes of Boston residents – the educated elite and working class descendants of immigrants – and …

Consonantal Variation Of Spanish In Northern Morocco, Ruth Scipione, Lotfi Sayahi
Consonantal Variation Of Spanish In Northern Morocco, Ruth Scipione, Lotfi Sayahi
Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship
In former Spanish Morocco, many educated speakers are able to draw upon various phonological systems such as French, Moroccan Arabic, and Modern Standard Arabic in order to pronounce Spanish sounds. However, although the speakers of this study are highly proficient in Spanish, there are still some segmental features that set them apart from a native Spanish speaker. These features include the failure to produce the fricative allophones of bilabial, dental, and velar stops the failure to distinguish between the simple and multiple vibrant trill, and difficulties in producing the palatal nasal. While the Spanish of these Northern Moroccans seems to …
Quantifying Rhythmic Differences Between Spanish, English, & Hispanic English, Phillip Carter
Quantifying Rhythmic Differences Between Spanish, English, & Hispanic English, Phillip Carter
Phillip M. Carter
The present analysis examines the Spanish and English of adolescent bilinguals (L1 Spanish, L2 English) from an exclusively Hispanic neighborhood in Raleigh, North Carolina. Conversational speech was analyzed for prosodic rhythm using the Pairwise Variability Index (Low & Grabe 1995), which included for each speaker at least 200 syllable-to- syllable comparisons in each language in order to determine the actual quantitative differences between Spanish and English. Additionally, the English data were compared to the data in the Thomas and Carter (2003 a, b) corpus in order to determine the rhythmic differences between North Carolina Hispanics and the benchmark non-Spanish-speaking, native …
Translingual Literature: The Bone People And Borderlands, Jill Marie Murphy
Translingual Literature: The Bone People And Borderlands, Jill Marie Murphy
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis proposes that by producing and existing within a translingual text, the ethnofeminist has found a way to subvert others' construction of her and redefine her identity. In particular, the ethnofeminist uses code switching to select and reinvent meaning from the language system of the dominant culture while maintaining the language system of the "marginal" group. In combining two (or more) language systems within a literature she has created her own language.

Estudio Comparativo De Actitudes Hacia El Español En Los Estados Unidos: Educación, Política Y Entorno Social, Andrew Lynch, Carol A. Klee

This study explores attitudes toward Spanish with respect to language education, language policy and language use in two different United States urban settings—one bilingual and another essentially monolingual. A 50-item sociolinguistic questionnaire was administered to 359 Hispanic and non-Hispanic university students at different levels of Spanish language study in Miami, Florida and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Analysis revealed broad acceptance of Spanish in US public life in both cities. However, more conservative attitudes toward ‘English only’ education and Official English policies were expressed by Miami students and by beginning-level students in general. Findings suggest that intense language contact in Miami foments a …
