Language Competition and Shift in New Australia, Paraguay: Palgrave Studies in Minority Languages and Communities

Autor Danae Perez
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 noi 2019
This book is an innovative sociolinguistic study of New Australia, an Australian immigrant community in Paraguay in 1893, whose descendants today speak Guarani. Providing fresh data on a previously under-researched community who are an extremely rare case of language shifting from English heritage language to a local indigenous language, the case study is situated within the wider context of the colonial and post-colonial spread of English in Latin America over the past century. Drawing on insights from linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, Latin American studies and history, the author presents the history of the colony before closely analysing the interplay of language and identity in this uniquely diasporic setting. This book fills a longstanding gap in the World Englishes and heritage languages literature, and it will be of interest to scholars of colonial and postcolonial languages, and minority language more generally.

Caracteristici

Draws on research into language contact, competition, and maintenance, and discusses the factors that determine these processes Contextualizes a single, previously unresearched case study as part of the spread of colonial languages in Latin America Assesses the different colonial experiences of Spanish and English on the South American continent Hypothesises that the vitality of Spanish in the face of the spread of English can be partly explained by its high value of solidarity among speakers
