Preposition Stranding In Spanish Heritage Language As A Non-Local Language Variety., Rafael Jimenez Baralt, Fabian Reynoso

2024 Hispanic Linguistics Symposium

This study contributes to the ongoing debate on HS grammatical outcome due to cross-linguistic transfer by exploring preposition stranding (PS) between Spanish Heritage Speakers and immigrants in Texas. PS occurs when a preposition is stranded due to the extraction of its noun complement at the end of the sentence (Ross, 1986). Structurally, Spanish does not permit PS (Campos, 1991). However, Spanish Heritage speakers (HS) accept and produce ungrammatical cases of PS (Pascual y Cabo & Gómez, 2015; Phillips, 2018; Depiante & Thompson, 2013) due to cross-linguistic influence (Montrul & Polinsky, 2011; White, 2011). According to Pascual y Cabo (2015), PS …

Spanish In Catalan Interactions: Code-Switching As An Ideological-Discursive Strategy To Represent Others, Natàlia Server Benetó

2024 Hispanic Linguistics Symposium

Gumperz (1982) proposed that, in stratified societies, bilinguals may perceive their primary language as familiar and authentic (in-group) and the common language as foreign (out-group), encompassing how “speakers can shift their own perspective from experience-near to experience-distant” (Woolard, 2006: 77), and how those perceptions of proximity and distance are interrelated with particular languages. Despite the vast research on language mixing within the Hispanic world, little attention has been paid to the Catalan context in the field of code-switching (Casalmiglia and Tusón 1984; Millán 2020; Pérez-Sabater 2022). No studies to date discuss the implications of code-switching into …
