(p.55),2) those who were segregated and isolated by the outside society;,e.g. indigenous Native Americans and the various Spanish-speakers;,25,Language shift,a change from the use of one language to the use of another language.,This often occurs when people migrate to another country where main language is different.,E.g. immigrants to the USA and Australia from non-English speaking countries.,26,E.G.,满族入关后，由于受到汉族文化的影响，首先是从汉语中吸收不少文化词，而随着清政府的大力倡导，汉族文化影响日益扩大，满语的社会功能退化，最终产生语言转化。,汉藏语系中许多语言受到佛教的影响，吸收了大量佛教词汇。“佛”，“塔”，“菩萨”，“罗汉”，“比丘”，“轮回”，“僧”，“苦海”，“刹那”等。,27,Language shift,1 may be actively encouraged by official government policy, for example, by restricting the number of language used as media of instruction.,2 may also occur because another language, usually the main language of the region, is needed for employment opportunities and wider communication.,28,Reversing language shift,efforts by a group to resist,language loss,(a process by which speakers of a language slowly stop using it, resulting in its dying out).,29,Revitalization,the restoration to language,vitality,. E.g. in Ottoman Palestine, the revitalization of Hebrew by Zionists (犹太复国主义者).,Vitality,means intergenerational transmission (the language is learned as a mother tongue.),30,Language and ethnic identity,Language is one of the most significant identifying features of ethnic group.,31,Language and politics,1) Language is regularly used in the exercises of political power.,2) There are subtle uses of language in politics. (p. 58),32,Language Rights,To take an ethnic view of language contact and conflict.,There are two approaches:,1 puts emphasis on the right of language;,E.g. to preserve, in a grammar, dictionary, and collection of texts, as much of the language as possible while there is still one speaker alive;,to provide support to the speakers of the language in their efforts at reversing language shift.,33,2 to focus on the rights of the speakers of language.,A) The first is the right to learn the national language, and to be assisted in dealing with that situation where lack of control of it leads to serious handicaps.,B) The second is not to be discriminated against (in access to work, education, and justice or health service),34,on the basis of being identified as a member of a group of speaking another language or variety.,C) The third is the right to preserve and maintain their own favored language or variety, and to work to reverse any language shift to the status or prestige variety.,35,Pidgins and creoles,Pidgin,is a simplified language derived from two or more languages. It is a,contact language,developed and used by people who do not share a common language in a given geographical area.,A pidgin is learned only in peoples contact,36,皮钦语 （Pidgin，又译,“,洋泾浜语,”）是17世纪以后在殖民地、半殖民地的,通商口岸,常见的一种语言接触现象。,37,（1） 概况,主要出现在广州、香港、上海等口岸城市。,使用者主要是英美商人,在中国的雇员或佣人,，以及与他们有商贸往来的,中国商人,。,38,（2） 上海的,洋泾浜,英语,老上海苏州河的一条支流,1845年英租界在上海建立以后，它成为,租界和华界的分界线,。,沿岸也成了上海最繁华的地段，是,英语和汉语,语言接触,最频繁的地方。,39,Last car叫做“拉司卡”,One dollar叫做“温淘箩”,40,“康姆” come “狗” go,“也司” yes “糯” no,“佛立谷” “吞的福”,“蒲脱”“靴”,41,very good twenty four,靴叫“蒲脱”(boot)，,鞋叫“靴”(shoe)。,42,“拿摩温”先生是阿大(number one)，,“翘梯翘梯”（吃tea吃tea）请吃茶，,自家兄弟“勃拉茶”(brother)，,爷要“发茶”(father)娘“卖茶”(mother),丈人叫做“发音落”(father-in-law),43,洋泾浜英语语句：,My go topside.,He have go bottomside.,Afternoon my come.,标准英语：,I am going upstair.,He has gone downstair.,Ill come in the afternoon.,44,（3） 皮钦语的特点,皮钦语的语音经过,当地语言音系,的,改造,，,语法规则减少到最低限度,，带有本地语法的痕迹。,45,皮钦语是当地人没有学好殖民者的语言，是,殖民者语言,在异域的,有限交际范围内,使用的一种,特殊变体,。,所以它一般不被看作正式的语言。,皮钦语,不作为母语传授给下一代,。,46,二、混合语（克里奥耳语，,Crole,）,1、克里奥耳语（crole，混血儿，又叫混合语）：指在语言接触中出现的一种可能被社会采用为主要的交际工具，并由孩子们作为母语来学习的语言现象。,它包含有不同的语言成分。如洋泾浜语言在一定的条件下可能被社会作为主要的交际工具，这时洋泾浜语言就变成了混合语。,47,2、洋泾浜和克里奥耳语的共同点和区别,洋泾浜和克里奥耳语都是语言接触的一些特殊形式。,它们的特点可以概括为：一种语言远渡重洋，立足异域，或作为特殊语言使用于有限的范围，或者在那里落户生根。在这个过程中，它必定和当地语言产生密切的关系，吸收对方的一些成分，放弃自身的一些特点，结果在基本保持原有素质的条件下使自己增加一种变体。,48,Pidgin and Creole,A,pidgin,is a special language variety that mixes languages and it is used by people who speak different languages for restricted purposes such as trading.,When a pidgin has become the primary language of a speech community, and is acquired by the children of that speech community as their native language, it is said to have become a,c,reole,.,49,Some examples of Pidgin English,Tok Pisin:,Mi driman long kilim wanpela snek. (I dreamed that I killed a snake.),Cameroonian Pidgin English:,Gif dif buj fo me. (Give the book to me.),50,三、国际辅助语,从17世纪起，不断有人设计国际辅助语的方案，比较成功的是波兰医生柴门霍夫在1887年创造的“世界语”（Esperanto）。这种语言兼采欧洲各种语言的词汇材料和语法格局，加以简化划一，可以说是欧洲各大语言的一个合理化的公分母，也可以说是一种人造的洋泾浜。它模拟自然语言，简单易学，因而问世以后，受到广泛的欢迎。不过，世界语毕竟是一种人造的国际辅助语，它不能代替自然语言作为人们的母语或第一语言。,51,Language of wider communication,T,he language chosen by speakers of several different languages to communicate with each other.,52,Creolization,The process by which a pidgin becomes a creole;,Involves the expansion of the vocabulary and grammar system;,E.g. Haitian Creole, Tok Pisin, Hawaiian Creole English (p.62),53,a post-creole continuum,.,A third stage of development when speakers of a creole or pidgin are introduced, usually by education, to the standard language on which language the creole or pidgin was originally based,54,E.g.,in Jamaica and Guyana, an English-based creole is spoken and standard English is taught in schools.,Those with higher levels of education speak something close to Standard English, the,acrolect （,高层语,）,; Those with little or no education speak the creole or something close to it, the,basilect（,低层语);,The rest speak a rang of varieties in between, the,mesolects,（中层语）.,55,One controversy is about the speech of Afro-Americans.,E.g.,Black English, Afro-American Vernacular English, or,Ebonics,has raged in American educational situations for at least thirsty years,56,Diglossia,introduced by Ferguson,a sociolinguistic situation similar to bilingualism, usually,describes a situation in which two very different varieties of language coexist in a speech community, each with a distinct rang of purely social function and appropriate for certain situations.,Diglossia is not a universal phenomenon,57,H-variety and L-variety,a more standard variety called high variety of H-variety, which is used in more formal of serious matters (the medium, school or church).,a non-prestige variety called low variety or L-variety, which is used in colloquial and other informal situations (conversations with family or friends, or instructions given to servants, waiters or workman).,58,E.g.,1 In China there was a period of time when a high, classical form called 文言文and a low, spoken form called 白话文 co-existed.,2,Country High variety Low variety,Greece Katharevusa Demotic Switzerland Standard German Swiss German Haiti Standard French French Creole,59,Speaker switches between the standard language and a non-standard vernacular or regional dialect is a common linguistic situation within a monolingual community and can hardly count as diglossia.,60,语言接触对语言的影响,汉语的借词：,全音译；咖啡，沙发,(sofa)，坦克(tank)，雷达(radar)，吉普(jeep)，等;,2 半音译词，) 在后面加指类名词，如啤酒(beer)，摩托车(motor)，霓虹灯(neon)，保龄球(bowling)，爵士乐(jazz)，鲨鱼(shark)，等；)一半音译一半意译；如冰激凌(ice-cream)，迷你群(miniskirt)，呼啦圈(Hulahoop)，新德里(New Deli)，剑桥(Cambridge)等，,61,意译词足球(football)，鸡尾酒会(cock tail party)，软件(soft ware)，热狗(hot dog)，超级市场(supermarket)等；,现代汉语的趋势拒绝音译；,如：“德谟克拉西”该为“民主”，“怀娥铃（,violin）”改为“小提琴”，“披雅哪”改为“钢琴”，“爱斯不难懂(Esperanto)” 改为“世界语”，“罗漫楴克（romantic）”改为“浪漫”.,62,（1）汉代从西域借入的有：,葡萄、石榴、菠萝、狮子、玻璃,（2）元代从蒙古语中借入的有：,蘑菇、胡同、站（驿站）,在汉语中，外来词由来已久：,63,（3）汉以后从,印度,借入的有：,佛、菩萨、罗汉、阎罗、和尚、金刚、,现在、过去、未来、世界、,圆满、烦恼、因果、因缘、报应、刹那、境界、宿命、天女散花、七级浮屠、昙花一现、神通广大,64,（4）从,日本,借入的有：,企业、干部、标本、经验、见习、下水道、心理学、写真集、榻榻米、生产力、便当、,达人,等。,手机达人、DIY达人,“达人”在日语中有“学问、技术等精通的人”的义项。,65,（5）从,欧美,借入的有：,法语的“沙龙”（salon）、“芭蕾”（ballet）等。,意大利语的“披萨”（pizza）等。,66,
