Abstract:

The Nahuatl language spoken by Aztec/Mexica continues to be spoken throughout Central Mexico and in the Huasteca region. Variation within the Huasteca has yet to be fully explored, and this study integrates a questionnaire published by Lastra and interviews I conducted with native speakers representing different communities. The data produced from this were used to find features that distinguish different towns and then were analyzed using cladistics, a phylogenetic method used by biologists to propose a hypothesis of the evolutionary relationships among species, and which has also been used by linguists. The output suggests there is a large split between northwest and southeast regions of the Huasteca, and that the northeast villages compose a subregion on their own. One can trace the relationships between communities on the output tree and follow a path backwards towards Central Mexico, suggesting a north-east migration.

Abstract:

En 1953, le linguiste Antenor Nascentes proposa la classique division dialectale du Brésil en deux grands parlers : le Nord, subdivisé lui-même en trois autres parlers – « amazônico, nordestino et baiano » ; et les parlers du Sud : « fluminense, mineiro et sulista ». Outre ces subdivisions, il considéra une aire nommée territoire atypique. L’Alagoas, une des neuf unités fédératives du Nord-Est du Brésil, d’une surface d’environ 27 000 km2, est le deuxième plus petit état du pays en superficie. Dans la division de Nascentes, il s’insère dans le subparler « nordestino ». En considérant la proposition de Nascentes, et appuyée sur les approches théoriques et méthodologiques de la Géolinguistique (DAUZAT, 1922) et Dialectologie Pluridimensionnelle (THUN, 1998), cette thèse, grâce à un atlas linguistique, a pour objectif de vérifier si l’État d’Alagoas se situe dans le subparler « nordestino ». L’Atlas linguistique d’Alagoas (ALEAL) produit de cette recherche, documente et décrit la réalité linguistique des locuteurs résidant dans la zone urbaine de l’État cité ci-dessus, dans son espace délimité et en tenant compte prioritairement des différences diatopiques dans leur aspects phoniques, lexico-sémantiques et morpho-syntatiques. Le réseau composé de 21 localités suit les orientations de Nascentes (1958). Dans chaque localité deux informateurs ont été enquêtés, un homme et une femme dont les tranches d’âge se situent entre 30 et 50 ans, analphabètes et /ou ayant un niveau de scolarité élémentaire . Pour l’analyse de l’influence du facteur de l’âge sur les réponses, dans 7 localités parmi les plus anciennes de cet état, 4 informateurs de deux tranches d’âge – 30 à 50 ans et 55 à 75 ans – ont été interrogés. Les questionnaires appliqués sont ceux utilisés dans l’Atlas linguistique du Brésil (AliB). L’ALEAL regroupe deux volumes : dans le premier on trouve l’introduction, l’hypothèse, les objectifs, la méthodologie et les approches théoriques relatives à la Géolinguistique et la Dialectologie. Dans ce même volume on trouve également les principes théoriques concernant la motivation lors de la création lexicale (Guiraud, Dalbera, Alinei, Contini, parmi les principaux auteurs). Ces théories sont à la base de l’analyse de certaines désignations enregistrées par les informateurs de l’ALEAL. L’étude motivationnelle, dont l’objectif est de vérifier si le signe linguistique est motivé au moment de sa genèse, concerne trois champs sémantiques : la faune, quelques phénomènes climatiques et atmosphériques, et quelques plantes et des produits dérivés de celles-ci. Ces données de l’ALEAL sont comparées aux mêmes référents enregistrés dans différents atlas régionaux brésiliens, à l’AliB, à l’Atlas linguistique roman (ALIR), et à l’Atlas Linguarum Europae (ALE). Dans le deuxième volume se trouvent les cartes phonétiques, lexicales et morpho-syntatiques. Dans la base des données recueillies, au moins deux faits linguistiques certifient la division dialectale de Nascentes : dans l’aire enquêtée prédominent les voyelles moyennes prétoniques ouvertes ; quant aux rotiques en coda interne, on a vérifié la prédominance de la fricative vélaire sourde. Quant à l’analyse motivationnelle des désignations établies, on a avéré que toute création lexicale est motivée à l’origine
In 1953, the linguist Antenor Nascentes proposed the classic dialectal division of Brazil in two great spoken languages: the North, subdivided into three other spokes – “amazônico, nordestino and baiano”; And the Southern languages: "fluminense, mineiro and sulista". In addition to these subdivisions, he considered an area known as atypical territory. Alagoas, one of the nine federative units in northeastern Brazil, with a surface area of about 27,000 km2, is the second smallest state in the country. In the division of Nascentes, it is inserted in the subparler "nordestino". The Linguistic Atlas of Alagoas (ALEAL) produces this research, documents and describes the linguistic reality of the speakers residing in the urban area of the abovementioned State, within its defined area and taking into account, as a matter of priority, the diatopic differences in Their phonic, lexico-semantic and morpho-syntatic aspects. The network of 21 localities follows the orientations of Nascentes (1958). In each locality two informants were interviewed, a man and a woman whose age range is between 30 and 50 years, illiterate and / or have a basic level of education. For the analysis of the influence of the age factor on the responses, four informants from two age groups - 30 to 50 and 55 to 75 - were identified in 7 of the oldest localities in this state. Interviewed. The questionnaires applied are those used in the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil (AliB). ALEAL brings together two volumes: in the first one we find the introduction, hypothesis, objectives, methodology and theoretical approaches related to Geolinguistics and Dialectology. In this same volume we also find the theoretical principles concerning motivation during lexical creation (Guiraud, Dalbera, Alinei, Contini, among the main authors). These theories form the basis of the analysis of certain designations recorded by the ALEAL informants. Motivational study, the objective of which is to verify whether the linguistic sign is motivated at the time of its genesis, concerns three semantic fields: fauna, some climatic and atmospheric phenomena, and some plants and products derived from them. These ALEAL data are compared with the same references recorded in various Brazilian regional atlases, the AliB, the Novel Linguistic Atlas (ALIR), and the Atlas Linguarum Europae (ALE). In the second volume are phonetic, lexical and morpho-syntatic maps. In the database, at least two linguistic facts certify the dialectal division of Nascentes: in the area surveyed predominate the open pretonic vowels; As for the roots in internal coda, the predominance of the deaf fel- lative has been verified. As for the motivational analysis of established designations, it has been found that any lexical creation is motivated at the outset

"Le contraste et la computation phonologique dans l'apprentissage des primitives phonologiques : Une analyse des harmonies vocaliques de rehaussement basée sur des primitives émergentes en Radical Substance Free Phonology."

Abstract:

RVH est un processus qui affecte la hauteur des voyelles. En présence de voyelles hautes, les voyelles moyennes d'un mot s'élèvent. Les harmonies fermantes présentent une propriété particulière: le rehaussement peut être scalaire ou complet. Les harmonies scalaires ferment les voyelles d'un degré de hauteur, tandis que les harmonies complètes transforment n'importe quelle voyelle en voyelle haute. Les RVH peuvent également être asymétriques: tous les déclencheurs attendus ne déclenchent pas l'harmonie, ou toutes les cibles attendues ne sont pas affectées (une voyelle haute peut ne pas déclencher le processus bien qu'étant phonétiquement haute, ou une voyelle peut ne pas se fermer bien que les autres voyelles le fassent). Dans le cas spécifique du parasitisme, certaines cibles ne subissent l'harmonie que si elles partagent une propriété avec le déclencheur. Trois dialectes de la Lombardie orientale montrent des RVH différentes: à Brescia toutes les voyelles moyennes sont affectées par le processus ; à Bergame l'harmonie cible uniquement les voyelles moyennes arrondies. En Camuno, où l'harmonie est parasitique, les voyelles arrondies se ferment lorsqu'elles sont suivies par des voyelles hautes, tandis que les voyelles non-arrondies ne réagissent que si la voyelle déclenchante est non arrondie. Il est montré que les théories qui peuvent formaliser les asymétries ont des problèmes avec les RVH scalaires, tandis que les théories qui traitent les RVH scalaires sont incapables de gérer les RVH asymétriques. Cette thèse soutient que les asymétries sont une forme spécifique de règles folles (Bach & Harms 1972, Chabot 2021): la classe des voyelles moyennes se divise en un sous-ensemble qui subit l'harmonie et un autre qui ne réagit pas. Cela nécessite l'existence de classes phonologiquement actives (Mielke 2008), plutôt que de classes naturelles. L'origine des difficultés rencontrées par les analyses existantes de RVH est l'hypothèse que les primitives mélodiques ainsi que leurs corrélats phonétiques sont universels et innés. La plupart des théories supposent que les primitives font partie d'un ensemble fixe où le corrélat phonétique de chaque primitive est donné à la naissance et est le même dans toutes les langues. L'alternative (Radical Substance Free Phonology) est une théorie basée sur des primitives émergentes, qui soutient qu'il n'y a pas des primitives à l'état initial de l'apprentissage: les enfants naissent avec la connaissance qu'il existe des primitives et qu'ils doivent les construire à partir des informations environnementales à leur disposition. Différents modèles d'émergence des primitives sont comparés. Les approches analysées (Dresher 2014, Sandstedt 2018, Odden 2022) considèrent que les primitives émergent sous l'influence du contraste et de la computation phonologique. Ils diffèrent cependant en ce que pour Dresher et Sandstedt le contraste et la computation sont également importants, tandis que pour Odden la computation est primaire et le contraste secondaire. Il est montré que dans un environnement où des primitives come α ou β sont utilisées, différentes théories de la computation peuvent produire des spécifications phonologiques différentes. Cette thèse plaide pour une computation phonologique où seuls l'addition et la soustraction des primitives sont permises. Dans cet environnement, les modèles de Dresher et Sandstedt ne peuvent rendre compte des RVH scalaires, alors que l'approche d'Odden peut construire les ensembles requis de représentations pour les RVH parasitiques et scalaires.Il peut également analyser les processus conditionnés par la morphologie, en profitant du fait que les primitives émergentes impliquent une interface entre la phonétique et la phonologie où les associations entre objets phonétiques et phonologiques sont arbitraires.L'approche d'Odden est formellement simple: la computation seule guide l'enfant vers les spécifications phonologiques sans recourir à d'autres mécanismes supplémentaires
Raising Vowel Harmony-RVH is a harmonic process that affects the height of vowels. In presence of high vowels, mid-vowels of a word raise. RVH displays a peculiar property: raising may be scalar or complete. Scalar RVH raise vowels by a degree of height, while complete RVH turn any vowel into a high vowel regardless of its lexical height. RVH may also be asymmetric: not all expected triggers actually trigger the harmony, or not all expected targets are affected (a high vowel may not trigger RVH though being high, or a mid-vowel may not raise while all other mid-vowels do). In the case of parasitism, some targets undergo VH only if they share a property with the trigger. The cross-linguistic properties of RVH are explored through a typological survey. Original fieldwork shows that three similar Eastern Lombard dialects display different RVHs. In Bresciano all mid-vowels are affected by raising ; in Bergamasco RVH targets only rounded mid-vowels. In Camuno RVH is parasitic : rounded vowels undergo raising whenever they are followed by high vowels, while unrounded vowels do so only if the triggering vowel is also unrounded. It is shown that theories able to formalize asymmetries encounter problems with scalar raising patterns, while theories that address the scalar nature of raising are unable to handle asymmetric RVH. It is argued that asymmetries and parasitic RVH are a form of crazy rules (Bach & Harms 1972, Chabot 2021): the class of mid vowels splits into a subset that undergoes raising and another that does not. This requires the existence of phonologically active classes (Mielke 2008), rather than of phonetically natural classes. It is argued that RVHs can only be described when phonological patterning alone defines which segments share a given prime. Given this background, it appears that the origin of the problems of existing analyses of RVH is the shared assumption that melodic primes as well as their phonetic correlates are universal and innate. Most theories assume the existence of a fixed set of primes that is universal and innate, where the phonetic correlate of every prime is given at birth and is the same in all languages. The alternative (Radical Substance Free Phonology) is a theory based on emergent primes, which argues that primes and their phonetic correlates are learned. There are no primes at the initial state : children are born with the knowledge that there are primes and that they will need to construct them based on environmental information. Primes are language-specific and have an arbitrary correlation with phonetics, which depends on contrast and behavior of segments in phonological processing (Mielke 2008, Dresher 2014). Different models of prime emergence are compared (Dresher 2014, Sandstedt 2018, Odden 2022). These proposals consider contrast and phonological processing as factors in prime emergence. For Dresher and Sandstedt contrast and processing are equally important, while for Odden processing has a logical precedence over contrast. In an environment where primes such as α β are used, different theories of computation may produce different prime specifications. This thesis argues for an approach to computation where only addition and subtraction of primes are allowed. This corresponds to the state of computation in Autosegmentalism, where primes may be either linked or delinked. On the representational side, this thesis endorses unary primes. It is shown that Sandstedt's model fails to account for scalar raising patterns and Odden's approach can build the required sets of representations for both parasitic and scalar RVH. It can also account for morphologically conditioned processes based on the fact that emergent primes entail phonetic arbitrariness, i.e. an interface between phonetics and phonology where mappings are arbitrary. Odden's approach is formally simpler than the others: processing alone guides the learner to prime specifications without recurring to other additional assumptions

Abstract:

Cette recherche veut unir deux domaines qui pour longtemps on été séparés : la dialectologie et la phonétique expérimentale et, bénéficiant de ce rapprochement, elle voudrait apporter sa contribution à une connaissance plus approfondie des dialectes du Salentin (Pouilles, Italie du sud). Nous avons analysé acoustiquement et articulatoirement certains aspects encore peu connus de certaines variétés du Salentin central (Lecce, Monteroni di Lecce, Nardò, Squinzano et Torchiarolo): le vocalisme atone et tonique et ses caractéristiques (les diphtongues métaphoniques palatale et labio-vélaire /wƐ/ et /jƐ/), ainsi que les consonnes rétroflexes. Plus spécifiquement, nous avons étudié la réalisation acoustique des voyelles toniques, en particulier, celles des voyelles moyennes antérieure et postérieure /Ɛ/ et /ɔ/ quand elles sont suivies des contextes finaux atones -i, -u et -e/-a/ ; l’action métaphonique des voyelles hautes atones finales -i et -u sur les voyelles moyennes toniques antérieure et postérieure et les processus de changement phonétique à l’origine de rétroflexes au niveau des liquides latérales (géminées en position intervocalique) et vibrantes (dans des groupes homorganiques tautosyllabiques), dans cette zone romane.Les résultats de notre analyse acoustique montrent que le vocalisme tonique de ces cinq points d’enquête est asymétrique, c’est-à-dire que la voyelle moyenne antérieure /Ɛ/ est plus fermée que la voyelle moyenne postérieure /ɔ/; le vocalisme atone ne déclenche d’action métaphonique que pour Monteroni di Lecce où la voyelle /Ɛ/ devient /e/ quand elle est suivie de la voyelle haute finale atone –i. La métaphonie trouvée par Grimaldi (2003) dans le salentin méridional est très répandue au sud extrême du Salento et au fur et à mesure que l’on va vers le nord ce processus s’estompe progressivement : nous ne nous attendions donc pas à trouver un effet de ce type dans cette zone. En ce qui concerne les rétroflexes, d’après nos analyses acoustiques, articulatoires et la littérature précédente, la transcription I.P.A. qui nous semble plus appropriée pour ces segments est [ḍ᷇z] pour le reflet de la latérale latine géminée -LL- qui est un segment cacuminal, géminé (durée de consonne plutôt long), semi-affriqué (burst plus long que pour une simple occlusive et présence de bruit de friction) et alvéolaire/post-alvéolaire (valeur du locus, limite inférieure du bruit, valeur du CoG et électrodes activées dans l’étude éléctropalatographique); les groupes consonantiques [ṭṣ__] et [ṭ :ṣ__]sont des segments cacuminaux, simple et long respectivement (durée totale des groupes consonantiques), affriqués (bruit de friction plutôt long) et alvéolaires/post-alvéolaires (sur la base de la valeur du locus, la limite inférieure du bruit et la valeur du CoG et les électrodes activées dans l’étude éléctropalatographique)
This study makes an attempt to unify two fields which have been separated for a long time : dialectology and experimental phonetics. Benefiting from this approach, our research aims at contributing to provide a deeper knowledge of Sallentine dialectes (Apulia, southern Italy).We analysed acoustically and articulatory some unknonwn aspects of some varieties of central Sallentine (Lecce, Monteroni di Lecce, Nardò, Squinzano et Torchiarolo): unstressed and stressed vocalism and its characteristics (metaphonical palatal and labio-velar diphtongues / wƐ/and /jƐ/ ), as well as retroflex consonants. Specifically, we studied the acoustic realisations of stressed anterior and posterior vowels /Ɛ/ / and /ɔ/ when they are followed by final unstressed vowels -i, -u and -e/-a/; the metaphonic action of unstressed vowels -i and -u on stressed anterior and posterior vowels as well as the phonetic processes concerning lateral liquids (geminate in intervocalic position) and trills (in homorgamical tautosyllabic groups) in this Romance area. Acoustical results show that stressed vocalism at all research points is asymmetric, the anterior vowel /Ɛ/ being closer than the posterior one /ɔ/; unstressed vocalism causes metaphonic action only in Monteroni di Lecce where /Ɛ/ becomes /e/ when it is followed by a final unstressed vowel –i. As metaphony found by Grimaldi (2003) in the southern Sallentine is present in the extreme South of Salento but seems to disappear progressively towards the North, we didn’t except to find this type of effect in this zone. About retroflexes, following our acoustical, articulatory analysis and previous literature, appropriate I.P.A. transcription for these segments is ḍ᷇z] for Latin lateral geminate output -LL- which is a cacuminal, geminate segment (consonant total duration), semi-affricate (longer burst than in plosive and presence of friction noise) and alveolar/post-alveolar (based on locus value, inferior noise limit, CoG value and activated electrodes in the electropalatographic study); consonantal clusters [ṭṣ__] and [ṭ :ṣ__] are cacuminal, simple and long segments respectively (consonant total duration), affricative (long burst) and alveolar/post-alveolar (locus value, inferior noise limit, CoG value and activated electrodes in the electropalatographic study)

Abstract:

Dialect emergence or new-dialect formation in intensive contact situations has been the subject of research for decades. Approaches to dialect emergence have led to a more solid understanding of the origins of specific phonological features. This line of research often approaches issues of new-dialect formation and phonological feature development within the confines of one linguistic subfield. However, new-dialect formation is a multifaceted phenomenon which results from a combination of dialectological, phonological and historical linguistic factors. The current thesis presents a comprehensive account of phonological feature development in new-dialect formation from a combined theoretical perspective by exploring historical and contemporary processes in the emergence of phonologically-conditioned variation in the price and mouth lexical sets in Liverpool English. This feature has been widely researched in other varieties of English and has previously been attributed to new-dialect formation. However, little is known about the patterns of price and mouth in Liverpool English. The current thesis relies on multiple methods of data collection (e.g. a combination of fieldwork and corpus data), various quantitative methods, and detailed acoustic analyses (e.g. formants and Euclidean distance in a two-dimensional formant space) to investigate the precise details and the processes involved in the emergence and development of price and mouth patterns in Liverpool English. Liverpool English is thought to have emerged during the 19th century as a result of extensive and prolonged immigration from the surrounding areas of Lancashire and Cheshire, and from Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. However, the specific timing, extent of immigration, and proportion of immigrant populations have not been investigated in detail. The current thesis provides the first in-depth analysis of historical census records in order to extend our knowledge of the populations in Liverpool at the time of new-dialect formation. The insights obtained from this analysis provide a more nuanced picture of the development of Liverpool English. They are essential for determining what dialects potentially contributed to dialect formation and the repertoire of price and mouth variants present at the time that these processes were developing. The analysis of historical census records is further augmented by using a combination of quantitative methods and historical corpora in order to gain a fuller understanding of the processes involved in the formation of these dialect features. The contemporary investigation of price and mouth in Liverpool English shows that these patterns are separate, but related, and that their phonological conditioning environments resemble those reported for cases of price and mouth variation in other varieties of English. I present a detailed overview of the phonetics and phonology of price and mouth variation in Liverpool English, looking at a wide range of conditioning environments. This investigation also reviews a range of different quantitative measurements useful for research on variation involving diphthongs. The origins of price and mouth phonological patterns in Liverpool English indicate that an approach combining different theoretical perspectives is required to adequately explain the development of these patterns. The current thesis suggests that price and mouth phonologically conditioned variation in Liverpool English initially resulted from variants of different dialects within the dialect contact situation. However, some features of the contemporary patterns developed following new-dialect formation as a by-product of phonetic and phonological properties of diphthong production in certain following environments. By approaching the development of these phonological features in Liverpool English from a combination of theoretical perspectives, the current thesis expands our understanding of emergent phonological features in new-dialect formation.

Abstract:

La tesi El parlar de la conca central de la Noguera Ribagorçana: fronteres dialectals a la Terreta analitza un conjunt de trets de tipus fònic i morfològic que tradicionalment s’han entès com a isoglosses que delimiten les varietats nord-occidentals del ribagorçà i el pallarès, per tal d’aportar noves dades sobre la frontera entre aquestes dues varietats. L’abast de l’estudi és especialment rellevant perquè tracta d’una àrea que, tot i que des del punt de vista geogràfic, forma, indubtablement, una unitat territorial (la Terreta), es troba administrativament dividida entre la comarca de la Ribagorça, a la província d’Osca (Aragó), i la comarca del Pallars Jussà, a la província de Lleida (Catalunya). L’interès pels trets estudiats ve suscitat, d’entrada, per la variació que presenten a la Terreta, tal com ja s’havia apuntat en estudis anteriors; però, d’altra banda, pels efectes de la frontera, que poden estar intervenint en els canvis en curs observats amb relació a descripcions més antigues. Per als objectius de la tesi, s’ha partit de dades lingüístiques obtingudes d’enquestes dialectals pròpies que s’han fet a un total de 38 informants, dividits en dues franges d’edat –de 26 a 49 anys i de 55 a 85 anys–, procedents d’un total d’onze nuclis de la Terreta –sis de situats a l’àrea administrativament pallaresa i cinc a l’àrea administrativament ribagorçana. Complementàriament, s’ha dut a terme un buidatge exhaustiu de la bibliografia per tal de conèixer l’extensió geogràfica dels trets estudiats assignada en les síntesis de dialectologia tradicional i en els treballs de caràcter general, i també s’han revisat treballs dialectals més específics centrats en varietats adscrites al ribagorçà i al pallarès. La comparació de les dades obtingudes en aquesta recerca amb les contingudes a la bibliografia ha permès de determinar amb més precisió l’adscripció subdialectal de la Terreta. En aquest sentit, s’ha pogut evidenciar la dificultat de traçar una frontera clara entre ribagorçà i pallarès –tal com han posat de manifest diversos autors fins ara– i, a la vegada, s’ha pogut constatar l’existència d’un contínuum ribagorçanopallarès que fa replantejar la divisió tradicional entre ribagorçà i pallarès. D’una altra banda, els resultats obtinguts han permès de detectar la incidència de la frontera administrativa com un factor diferenciador influent, que fa que la transició tradicionalment suau entre trets pròpia d’una àrea de contínuum pugui veure’s modificada. La recerca duta a terme deixa constància addicional dels processos de canvi lingüístic que tenen lloc en àrees de frontera.
In the thesis entitled El parlar de la conca central de la Noguera Ribagorçana: fronteres dialectals a la Terreta a group of phonic and morphological features that have traditionally been recognised as isoglossal and which demarcate the north-western varieties of the ribagorçà and pallarès dialects are analysed, to provide new information about the boundary between these two varieties. The scope of this study is particularly important because it deals with an area which from a geographical point of view is undoubtedly a territorial unit (la Terreta), but is administratively divided into the region of Ribagorça, in the province of Osca (Aragon), and the region of Pallars Jussà, in the province of Lleida (Catalonia). Interest in these linguistic features initially arose due to the special variation that exists in la Terreta, which has been the subject of previous studies. However, interest in this area also emerged due to the impact of the border that exists there, which may have influenced the linguistic changes taking place. The basis of this thesis is the linguistic data obtained from dialect surveys undertaken with a total of 38 informants, divided into two age groups –from 26 to 49 and 55 to 85 years old–, from a total of eleven locations in la Terreta. Six of these are located in the Pallarès administrative area and five in the Ribagorça administrative area. Parallel to this an exhaustive search of the literature was undertaken in order to find out about the geographical extension that traditional general dialectology works have assigned to the studied features. More specific dialect-related studies were also revised, focusing on varieties affiliated with the ribagorçà and pallarès dialects. A comparison between the data obtained from this search and that obtained through the bibliographical search has allowed the subdialectal affiliation of la Terreta to be determined more precisely. Along these lines it has been possible to find evidence of the difficulty of drawing a clear line between the ribagorçà and pallarès dialects –as various authors have made clear in the past– and, at the same time, evidence of the existence of a ribagorçanopallarès continuum. This leads to a reconsideration of the traditional division between the ribagorçà and pallarès variants. On the other hand, the results obtained have also made it possible to detect the administrative border as a differentiating factor which does have an impact, and this means that the traditionally light transition between features that are specific to a continuum area can be modified.

Abstract:

Un dels motius per estudiar els parlars del Priorat és el fet que la comarca està situada en una cruïlla de trets lingüístics que dóna a aquests parlars una fesomia heterogènia i amb personalitat pròpia i diferenciada dels de les comarques veïnes (Ribera d’Ebre, Baix Camp i Garrigues). En aquest context lingüístic, es va plantejar la pregunta de si era possible situar el Priorat en un dels dos grans blocs de la llengua catalana o calia considerar la comarca una zona de transició entre els dos blocs, occidental i oriental. Aquesta particularitat fa que l’estudi d’aquests parlars sigui encara més atractiu. L’objectiu d’aquest tesi és fer una descripció lingüística detallada i exhaustiva dels parlars de la comarca del Priorat i cartografiar-ne els resultats. Així, el treball es converteix en doble: d’una banda, es tracta d’un estudi de dialectologia que pren com a base el registre col•loquial de la varietat geogràfica del català del Priorat; de l’altra, es converteix en un treball de geolingüística, en el sentit que permet elaborar l’Atles lingüístic del Priorat (ALPri), que inclou un total de 966 mapes en color. A partir de la descripció lingüística realitzada en aquesta investigació, es pot concloure que els parlars del Priorat participen de característiques tant del bloc occidental com del bloc oriental de la llengua catalana; comparteixen també trets lingüístics amb els subdialectes tarragoní, lleidatà i tortosí. Els parlars del Priorat han de ser considerats, doncs, parlars de transició entre l’occidental i l’oriental. Aquest estudi també demostra que no es pot delimitar la “frontera” nítida pròpiament dita entre l’un i l’altre blocs dialectals i ens permet observar que hi ha un bon nombre de formes autòctones, la majoria coincidents amb el bloc occidental, que són desplaçades per variants considerades més prestigioses, vingudes del bloc oriental.
Uno de los motivos para estudiar las hablas del Priorat es el hecho que la comarca está situada en un cruce de características lingüísticas que les otorga un carácter heterogéneo y con personalidad propia y diferenciada de las hablas de las comarcas vecinas (Ribera d’Ebre, Baix Camp i Garrigues). En este contexto lingüístico, se planteó la pregunta de si era posible situar el Priorat en uno de los dos grandes bloques de la lengua catalana o debíamos considerar la comarca una zona de transición entre los dos bloques, occidental y oriental, haciendo así más atractivo el estudio de estas hablas. El objetivo de esta tesis es hacer una descripción lingüística minuciosa y exhaustiva de las hablas de la comarca del Priorat y cartografiar los resultados. Existiendo así el doble de trabajo a realizar, ya que primero se hace un estudio de dialectología, tomando como base el registro coloquial de la variedad geográfica del catalán hablado en el Priorat. Esto hace que se convierta en un trabajo de geolingüística, permitiendo elaborar el Atles lingüístic del Priorat (ALPri), que incluye un total de 966 mapas en color. A partir de la descripción lingüística realizada en esta investigación, se puede concluir que en las hablas del Priorat toman parte diferentes características del bloque occidental como del bloque oriental de la lengua catalana; comparten también características lingüísticas con los subdialectos tarragonés, leridano i tortosino. Las hablas del Priorat tienen que ser consideradas, pues, hablas de transición entre el occidental y el oriental. Este estudio también demuestra que no se puede delimitar la “frontera” nítida propiamente dicha entre los dos bloques dialectales y nos permite observar que hay un buen número de formas autóctonas, la mayoría coincidentes con el bloque occidental, que son desplazadas por variantes consideradas más prestigiosas, procedentes del bloque oriental.
One of the reasons why it is interesting to study the speeches of El Priorat is the fact that the region is situated in an intersection of linguistic characteristics which gives these speeches a heterogeneous character with a personality of its own different from the ones of the neighbouring regions (Ribera d’Ebre, Baix Camp and Garrigues). In this linguistic context, the question which was asked is whether it is possible to place El Priorat in one of the two big blocks of the Catalan language or whether the region has to be considered a transition zone between the two blocks, occidental and oriental. This particularity makes the study of these speeches even more attractive. The objective of this thesis is to make a detailed and exhaustive linguistic description of the speeches of the region of El Priorat and to map its results. This way, the work is double: on the one hand, it is a dialectological study which takes the colloquial register of the geographic variety of the Catalan of El Priorat as a basis; on the other hand, it is a work of geolinguistics, in the sense that it allows the elaboration of the Atles lingüístic del Priorat (ALPri), which includes a total of 966 colour maps. On the basis of the linguistic description made in this research, it can be concluded that the speeches of El Priorat have characteristics of both the occidental and the oriental blocks of the Catalan language; they also share linguistic characteristics with the sub-dialects of Tarragona, Lleida and Tortosa. Therefore, the speeches of El Priorat have to be considered speeches of transition between the occidental and the oriental. This study also shows that we cannot establish a clear border between the two dialectal blocks, and it allows us to observe that there are a great number of native forms, most of them coinciding with the occidental block, which have been ousted by variations which are considered more prestigious, coming from the oriental block.

Abstract:

Research into the dialects of the New England states (Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont) has traditionally split the region into distinct geographic regions based upon variations in production, primarily along an East-West border. Generally, such regions have been considered relatively stable in terms of their variation (Labov, Ash and Boberg 2006); however, recent work in the area has found that the traditional dialect boundaries have begun to shift (c.f. Stanford, Leddy-Cecere and Baclawski 2012). Such research has focused on very specific regional changes in production, ignoring the perceptual salience of the features observed to be in flux. To date very few studies (Ravindranath and Fernandes 2014) have examined how New Englanders perceive the regional divisions, with emphasis on the collected regions while not focusing specifically on how regions view each other in terms of difference and similarity. This study examines regional perceptions of dialects in the New England states as seen by a small subset of New Englanders, predominantly residents of Maine and Massachusetts, through two studies: one conducted using a new web-based approach and another using the traditional pen-and-paper method of perceptual dialectology. Speakers have been asked to identify areas with differing varieties through the draw-a-map task (Preston 1989). These responses are then aggregated using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), contrasting results between the two methods. Results are used to identify areas of salient dialectal features across New England, informing contemporary and future research into language change in a region considered as stable. Additionally, methodological concerns and advances are addressed.

Abstract:

This study is conducted in the Karak area (Jordan) to investigate linguistic variation in the speech of the Fallahis who migrated to the area in 1948. Three variables are considered to investigate this variation. These are the (Q), (Vki) and (K). The study shows that young Fallahis have abandoned the variants of their native dialect in favour of the local variants, or sometimes the urban variant. Young Fallahis have abandoned the [k] variant of the variable (Q) in favour of the local variant [g] or [?] and the [ik] variant of the variable (Vki) in favour of the local variant [ki]. They also appear to have abandoned the variant [C] of the variable (K) in favour of the [k] variant. The study also shows that while none of the young males abandon the non-local variant [k] in favour of the urban variant [?], a considerable proportion (50%) of young females appear to have abandoned the non-local [k] variant in favour of the urban variant [?]. The young, thus, appear to prefer the local variants of the investigated variables whether this variable is stereotype like (Q) or a marker like (Vki). A considerable proportion of the middle age-group also show a tendency to accommodate to the local variant [g] as well as the local variant [ki). The old appear to preserve the variant [k] and the variant [ik] of their native dialect. The variant [C] of the variable (K) is categorically abandoned by the young and used in a very low ratio by the middle-age group (6%), but rather more frequently by the old age group (430/0). In this regard, we can report a sound change which is near completion in the Karak area in the speech of the Fallahis.

Abstract:

Cette thèse porte sur le quechua bolivien méridional et ses aspects linguistiques, historiques et sociolinguistiques. Au niveau historique, j’y défends un modèle de diffusion centrifuge hiérarchique urbaine relativement tardive (17ème et 18ème siècles) et d’une hispanisation précoce de cette variété de quechua 2C, avec pour centre principal de diffusion la ville impériale minière de Potosí. L’articulation entre une approche émique (dialectologie perceptive) et étique (sociolinguistique variationniste) m’a par ailleurs mené à proposer une hiérarchisation sociolectale entre deux variétés de quechua bolivien reposant largement sur la perception d’une plus ou moins grande hispanisation. Deux variables linguistiques particulièrement saillantes de cette structuration ont été retenues pour l’étude de la région du Valle Alto de Cochabamba. Les variantes à voyelles basses du morphème du pluriel inclusif Chik, [čeχ], [čaχ], autrefois prestigieuses et en passe de s’imposer sur la variante haute [čis], associée à la ruralité, connaissent aujourd’hui un fort recul suite aux bouleversements socioéconomiques et migratoires des 80 dernières années. Dans le même temps, en production, la distribution des variantes rurales [ʃa] et des variantes urbaines [sqa], [sa] du morphème du progressif Chka, demeure globalement stable. L’interprétation proposée est le manque de saillance de la variable dû à l’absence d’opposition entre sibilantes alvéolaire et post-alvéolaire en quechua 2C et à un phénomène de quasi fusion des allomorphes en perception
This dissertation deals with southern Bolivian Quechua and its linguistic, historical, and sociolinguistic aspects. At a historical level, I advance a model of relatively late (17th and 18th centuries) urban hierarchical centrifugal diffusion and an early Castilianization of the 2C Quechua variety, holding as the main center of diffusion the imperial mining city of Potosí. At the same time, the intersection betwen an emic (perceptive dialectology) and etic (variational sociolinguistic) approach results in the proposal of a sociolectal hierarchy between two varieties of Bolivian Quechua based largely on the perceived strength of Castillianization. As a result, this study of the Cochabamba Valle Alto involves two linguistic variables that are of particular relevance to the proposed structuring. The variants with low vowels from the plural inclusive morpheme Chik, [čeχ], [čaχ], formerly considered prestigious and once on the verge of imposing themselves on the high vowel variant [čis], traditionally linked to rurality, are now experiencing a strong setback as a result of the profound socioeconomic and migratory transformation of the last eighty years. At the same time, in production, the distribution of the rural [ʃa] and urban [sqa], [sa] variants of the morpheme of the progressive Chka remains globally stable. The proposed interpretation is that the lack of prominence of the variable stems from the lack of oposition between the alveolar and post-alveolar sibilants in Quechua 2C, as well as a phenomenon of near merger between the allomorphs in perception
Esta tesis trata del quechua boliviano meridional y de sus aspectos lingüísticos, históricos y sociolingüísticos. A nivel histórico, se defiende un modelo de difusión centrífuga jerárquica urbana relativamente tardía (siglos 17 y 18) y una castellanización temprana de esta variedad de quechua 2C, teniendo como centro principal de difusión la ciudad imperial minera de Potosí. Por otra parte, la articulación entre une acercamiento émico (dialectología perceptiva) y ético (sociolingüística variacionista) me lleva a proponer la existencia de una jerarquización sociolectal entre dos variedades de quechua boliviano, basada ampliamente sobre la percepción de una castellanización más o menos fuerte. Dos variables lingüísticas particularmente relevantes en torno a esta estructuración han sido escogidas para el estudio del Valle Alto de Cochabamba. Las variantes con vocales bajas del morfema del plural inclusivo CHIK, [čeχ], [čaχ], antiguamente prestigiosas y alguna vez a punto de imponerse sobre la variante de vocal alta [čis], vinculada con la ruralidad, conocen hoy en día un fuerte retroceso debido a las profundas transformaciones socioeconómicas y migratorias de los últimos 80 años. Al mismo tiempo, en producción, la distribución de las variantes rurales [ʃa] y de las variantes urbanas [sqa], [sa] del morfema del progresivo CHKA, se mantiene globalmente estable. La interpretación propuesta es la falta de prominencia de la variable debida a la ausencia de oposición entre sibilantes alveolar y post-alveolar en quechua 2C y a un fenómeno de quasi fusión de los alomorfos en percepción

Abstract:

El cashibo-cacataibo es una lengua Pano hablada en la Amazonía peruana. Esta lengua presenta, pese a su número relativamente reducido de hablantes, una rica diversidad dialectal. Aunque la dialectología de este idioma ya ha sido documentada previamente por G. Tessmann y L. WistrandRobinson, entre otros, en el presente artículo, nos proponemos ofrecer una aproximación a la diversidad dialectal del cashibo-cacataibo a partir de datos obtenidos de primera mano y poniendo especial énfasis en la documentación de los aspectos fonológicos que determinan las isoglosas que separan los dialectos cashibo-cacataibo, ello sin dejar de lado aspectos relevantes en los planos léxico y morfosintáctico. Nuestras conclusiones, derivadas de los datos que hemos recogido, convergen con los resultados planteados previamente: el cashibo-cacataibo constaría de cuatro dialectos (más uno probablemente extinto) con diversos grados de similitud entre los mismos.
Cashibo-Cacataibo is a Panoan language spoken in the Peruvian Amazon. Despite its relatively small number of speakers this language features a rich dialectal diversity. Although this dialectal situation has previously been documented by G. Tessmann and L. Wistrand, among others, in this article we aim to offer an approach to the dialectology of this language from firsthand data and with an emphasis on the documentation of the phonological aspects that determine the isoglosses separating the Cashibo-Cacataibo dialects. The paper also include references to lexical and morphosyntactic aspects. The conclusions from the data we have collected converge with the results obtained by other scholars: the Cashibo-Cacataibo language consists of four extant dialects (plus an extinct one) with varying degrees of similarity between them.

Abstract:

Aquesta tesi és un estudi sociofonètic de les vocals mitjanes posteriors del català de Girona. La recerca parteix de la hipòtesi que /o/ i /ɔ/ estan fusionades a la diòcesi gironina i té l’objectiu principal de proporcionar dades que avalin aquesta suposició. Concretament, es vol demostrar que la distinció entre la vocal mitjana alta i la vocal mitjana baixa ha desaparegut per a la majoria de parlants gironins, però tot tenint en compte que la fusió pot variar en relació amb l’edat, el gènere, i l’origen geogràfic específic de cadascun. L’estudi es desenvolupa en dues parts. La primera, i més destacada, és una anà- lisi quantitativa de les dades de producció vocàlica recollides, mitjançant entrevistes sociolingüístiques, de 96 informants, homes i dones de dues edats diferents i naturals de 12 punts d’enquesta repartits pel bisbat de Girona. De les ocurrències vocàliques produïdes en aquestes entrevistes se’n van extreure dades acústiques que es van analitzar mitjançant tècniques de visualització i de quantificació de la fusió, per determinar l’abast de la pèrdua del contrast entre les dues os per a cada parlant. Les dades acústiques i també les mesures de quantificació de la fusió, a més a més, es van avaluar estadísticament per determinar la variació global del fenomen. La segona part de la tesi és una aproximació qualitativa a la percepció de les vocals mitjanes posteriors, elaborada a partir de dues tasques completades per 75 dels 96 in- formants anteriors i d’una observació metalingüística feta per 66 d’aquests informants. Les dades permeten una primera reflexió sobre la capacitat de distinció de /o/ i /ɔ/ a la diòcesi, però sobretot deixen entreveure la consideració sociolingüística de la fusió en l’àmbit gironí. Els resultats indiquen que /o/ i /ɔ/ estan completament fusionades a les àrees centrals i septentrionals de Girona, on la fusió es considera un tret característic del gironí. Al litoral, en canvi, els resultats són molt desiguals i assenyalen que la fusió encara hi és un procés en desenvolupament i que, a més a més, està considerablement estigmatitzat. Al mateix temps, l’anàlisi estadística determina que els informants més joves i les dones fusionen amb més probabilitat i més intensitat que no pas els més grans i els homes, sobretot a les zones costaneres, i que la llengua escrita i l’estàndard tenen un paper destacat en la producció i la percepció de les vocals mitjanes posteriors.
This thesis is a sociophonetic study of mid back vowels in Girona Catalan. It is built on the hypothesis that /o/ and /ɔ/ are merged in the Catalan variety spoken in most of the Girona area, and it seeks to provide evidence in this regard. Specifically, it aims to prove that the distinction between the close-mid back vowel and the open-mid back vowel is lost for most speakers in the region, while taking into account possible variation concerning age, gender, and specific geographic origin. The study has two parts. The first, and most important, is a quantitative analysis of data on vowel production obtained, through sociolinguistic interviews, from 96 speakers, male and female, in two age groups, from 12 survey points throughout Girona. Acoustic data were extracted from the vowels in these interviews and anal- ysed through visualisation and merger quantification techniques, to establish the degree of mergedness of each speaker. Furthermore, the acoustic data as well as the quantification measurements were statistically analysed to account for sociolinguistic variation. The second part of the thesis is a qualitative approximation to the perception of mid back vowels, built on data obtained from 75 of the 96 previous participants. These data allow for a first description of the perception of mid back vowels by Girona Catalan speakers, but, most importantly, they provide insight into the sociolinguistic perception of the merger in the region. Results show that mid back vowels are completely merged in Central and Northern Girona, where the merger is valued as a trait of the Girona variety. In the coastal areas, on the contrary, results are mixed and indicate a merger-in-progress, which, additionally, seems to be stigmatized. Besides, statistical analyses demonstrate that younger and female speakers are more likely to be merged and more profoundly merged than older and male speakers, specially in the coast, and also that written and Standard Catalan play a decisive role in the production and perception of mid back vowels.

The goal of this doctoral dissertation is to carry out a detailed linguisticc description of the language varieties that constitute the Pallars Sobirà and Vall Fosca regions from a geolinguistic point of view. The specific features of this area, with a reduced ageing and endogamic autochtonous population, advise against adopting a sociolinguistic approach to the study; thus, this dissertation leaves a record of the traditional linguistic variety of these comarques before the arrival of the latest migratory waves, as well as of the current media outlets in which standard Catalan is used. The study is composed of the sections that have traditionally comprised the linguistic analysis of a language variety: tonic and atonic vowels, noun and verb morphology and, finally, an important lexical section that is innovative in that it has been obtained without the use of questionnaires. Finally, we provide a detailed maps section that gives us an idea of the current unstable state of the studied area, and the difficulties encountered in establishing isoglosses in territories influenced by several external factors.

Abstract:

Most discussions of English phonology argue that rhoticity and r-sandhi are necessarily in complementary distribution, citing the diachronic path that led to the loss of rhoticity and the resulting synchronic r ~ Ø alternations in non-rhotic dialects. However, some accounts suggest that ‘it would not be surprising to discover cases of intrusive-r in rhotic dialects’ (Harris 1994, see also Carr 1999, Uffmann 2007). In order to investigate how non-rhoticity and r-sandhi could be transmitted by dialect contact, this thesis uses data from speakers in five communities in Greater Manchester and East Lancashire. The locations are equally spaced along a twenty-mile route from Prestwich (a suburb of Manchester, where speakers are non-rhotic) to Accrington (a post-industrial mill-town which is on an ‘island of rhoticity’ (Britain 2009)). I show that individual speakers have variable levels of both rhoticity and r-sandhi, which matches research on early New Zealand English (Hay & Sudbury 2005). Beyond this key fact, I discuss several other aspects of the relationship between r-sandhi and rhoticity, including the phonological and dialectological significance of the patterns in the data. First, linking-r and intrusive-r have different distributions in my data, despite the typical claim that they are synchronically the same process. This supports the idea that speakers are sensitive to a difference between words with and without an etymological r: I attribute this to the influence of orthography and to sociolinguistic salience of intrusive-r. Second, the nature of my sample population allows me to consider both change in apparent time and variation across geographical space. An apparent time comparison of the distribution of non-rhoticity and intrusive-r in the five Lancashire locations shows that these features are spreading by wave diffusion: they reach nearby locations before they reach locations further away. However, there is also a pattern of urban hierarchical diffusion in which the most isolated and rural location, Rossendale, lags behind Accrington in its loss of rhoticity. This is examined in the light of local patterns of travel for work and leisure, which suggest that although Accrington is further than Rossendale from the non-rhotic ‘sea’ of surrounding speakers, socially constructed space is more significant than Cartesian distance in determining the amount of linguistic contact between speakers from different locations. Third, I show that levels of rhoticity are increasing for some young speakers in Rossendale, which supports the hypothesis that a local linguistic feature can have a ‘last gasp’ under pressure from a competing non-local feature before its eventual loss. However, the same speakers are also adopting intrusive-r more quickly than speakers from neighbouring areas and this is significant: while earlier research has suggested that the presence of hyperdialectal non-etymological r (e.g. lager [laôg@~]) can be an indication of a loss of rhoticity in progress, the East Lancashire data show a different situation, where non-etymological r is for the most part restricted to sandhi contexts. This shows that rather than r-colouring becoming part of the realisation of certain vowels (e.g. sauce [sO:ôs]), intrusive-r is becoming adopted as a hiatus-filling strategy: a phonological process is being used by some rhotic speakers independently of the loss of contrasts (e.g. Leda ~ leader) which caused it to emerge in non-rhotic dialects. I discuss these results in terms of sociophonology, which I use to convey the idea that the phonological process of hiatus-filling r-sandhi can spread through dialect contact, with a mixed phonological system emerging as a result. Although the data suggest a correlation between the loss of rhoticity and the development of r-sandhi, the nature of the overlap means that a phonological model must allow for speakers to have both features, even if rhoticity is eventually lost completely. Hay & Sudbury (2005) argue that the gradual development of linking and intrusive-r leading to their convergence to a single synchronic phenomenon ‘is not a process that can be well described by any categorical, phonological grammar’. I show that the current situation in East Lancashire speech can be described by existing phonological models with underlying representations and associated surface forms. These existing models do not rule out a parallel distribution for rhoticity and intrusive-r, in which individual speakers can have both features. This thesis provides some new dialectological data for an under-researched area of North West England, a discussion of phonological means of accounting for patterns in these data, and a discussion of the influence of socio-cultural spatiality on linguistic behaviour.

Abstract:

Au travers des dialectes italo-romans méridionaux et salentins, cette thèse met la cladistique au service de la dialectologie, la cladistique étant une méthode de classification principalement liée à l'étude phylogénétique et typologique des espèces vivantes. L'essentiel de la recherche porte sur l'étude des différents diasystèmes dialectaux qui se dégagent de l'analyse cladistique appliquée au domaine Italo-Roman Méridional. Après une première étude d'ordre sociolinguistique qui décrit le niveau de diglossie et le degré d'utilisation du dialecte dans l'espace salentin, cette thèse parcourt l'histoire des dialectes IRM et l'histoire de la dialectologie Italo-Romane, depuis les premiers essais de classification dialectale. Deux corpus différents ont été utilisés: dans un premier temps, un corpus obtenu à partir du dépouillement de l'ALI, et qui a servi à l'analyse du domaine IRM en général. L’espace dialectal pris en considération comprend la Campanie, la Basilicate, les Pouilles, le Salento, la Sardaigne, la Sicile et la Calabre. Dans chacune de ces régions nous avons sélectionné 3 points selon le principe d’équidistance. Les mots témoins relevés sont au nombre de 20. Le deuxième corpus, obtenu suite à un questionnaire réalisé dans la région du Salento par l'auteur même, se compose de 35 variables et six points d’enquête. Celui-ci a été construit en tenant compte de certains critères sociologiques que la méthode cladistique nous a permis d'intégrer dans notre analyse. Les résultats obtenus n'ont pas le but de bouleverser les classifications pré-existantes, mais de donner une vision plus structurante des aires dialectales étudiées en mettant en avant la diversité de leur structure interne
Through the Southern Italo-Romance and Salentinian dialects this thesis aims at using cladistics to the service of dialectology. One must understand the cladistics as a means of classification mainly linked to the phylogenetic and typological study of animal and plant species. Most of the research focuses on the study of various dialectal diasystems that emerge from the cladistic analysis applied to the Southern Italo-Romance field. From a sociolinguistic point of view after a first study which describes the level of diglossia and the degree of use of the dialect in the Salentinian area, this thesis travels through the history of the Southern Italo-Romance dialects as well as the history of the Romance Italian dialectology since the first attempts to classify the dialects. Two different corpuses have been used. The first one was obtained after the studying of the ILA and it helped the analysis of the Southern Italo-Romance field as a whole. The dialectal area taken into account include Campania, Basilicata, Apulia, Salento, Sardinia, Sicily and Calabria. In each of these regions we have chosen three points according to an equidistant structure. We have selected 20 witness words. As for the second corpus, it was achieved through a questionnaire the author herself made in the Salento area and it is composed of 35 variables and six geographical points. The latter has been created on the basis of some sociologic criteria that the cladistic method had us to include into the analysis. The results we obtained don't imply to question the previous classifications but it allows a more formative vision of the dialectal fields studied by underlining the diversity of its own structure

Abstract:

Cette thèse se propose d'étudier deux processus phonologiques bien distincts qui sont la réduction des voyelles atones à schwa que l'on trouve dans certains dialectes italiens et le redoublement phono-syntaxique induit par l'accent (Raddoppiamento Fonosintattico), désormais RF. Il semblerait que l'existence de ces deux phénomènes (le RF induit par l'accent et la réduction vocalique) soit en distribution complémentaire puisque l'analyse du processus de (non-)réduction vocalique en coratin permettrait de mettre en lumière la motivation structurelle de cette incompatibilité. Cette thèse va mettre à jour et vérifier cette prédiction avec des données diatopiques. En effet, le coratin dispose d'une contrainte pour que les voyelles soient réalisées non réduites rendant le RF déclenché par l'accent incompatible avec les dialectes à réduction localisés situé dans la partie centre-méridionale de la péninsule.

Les habitudes langagières constatées dans ce parler haut-vannetais seront décrites à partir d'exemples issus de langue parlée, et de langue chantée, collectés auprès de vingt-cinq locuteurs traditionnels originaires de Languidic, nés entre 1919 et 1950. Après avoir défini le terroir dialectal de ce breton, haut vannetais intérieur de transition, nous présentons son système vocalique, qui est un élément distinctif entre les parlers de ce sous-dialecte. Nous verrons quele timbre des voyelles peut être centralisé ou neutralisé selon leur quantité, qui est elle-même dépendante de celles des consonnes. Le système consonantique sera défini et exposé en tenant compte de la typologie du breton, étant une langue à mutations consonantiques. Le schéma accentuel, bien que principalement oxytonique, présente de nombreuses variations. Les mutations consonantiques des initiales s'organisent en trois principaux groupes, s'associant pour certains mutateurs, créant ainsi trois types de mutations hybrides, auxquels il faut ajouter trois mutations isolées. La morphologie et la syntaxe du parler sont exposées et tenant compte des différents usages, allant du registre familier quotidien, à la langue soutenue des chants, qui sont une des richesses de ce terroir, où les traditions orales ont su se maintenir jusqu'à nos jours
This work presents a new study of work to the visual description of dialectology in the lower region of Brittany and participates in providing a better understanding of the Breton language in its entirety.The usages and customs of this micro-dialect from this part of Brittany known as haut-vannetais will be described from examples of spoken language and song. These are collected from twenty five traditional native speakers originally from Languidic, born between 1919 and 1950. After having defined the dialect area of this local speech, haut-vannetais in transition, we present its vocalic system, which in itself is a distinct element between different spoken sub dialects. We will see that the tone of vowels could be centralised or neutralised depending on their quantity. This also applies for the consonants. The consonantal system will be defined and exposed by considering the typology of Breton, with initial consonant mutations. The lexical stress, which is principally oxytonic presents numerous variations. There are three principal classes of mutation, three hybrid and three isolated mutations. The morphology and syntax of this sub dialect is exposed in consideration of different usages, ranging from familiar everyday language to received pronunciation used whilst singing, which give a richness to the region where the oral traditions have been retaineduntil today

Abstract:

La tesi El segment velar en la flexió verbal de l’eivissenc. Anàlisi de la variació distribucional, geogràfica i generacional descriu i analitza les ocurrències del segment velar en el sistema verbal del català que es parla actualment a l’illa d’Eivissa. El treball neix amb l’objectiu d’aportar noves dades en dos camps: d’una banda, en el coneixement del dialecte eivissenc, concretament de la seva morfologia verbal, que no havia estat descrita ni analitzada de manera detallada fins ara; i d’una altra banda, en la distribució del segment velar en el sistema verbal de la llengua catalana, que ha estat, i és, un dels temes que genera més estudis en l’àmbit de la morfologia flexiva del català. La major part dels estudis sobre l’eivissenc, o que hi fan referència, apareguts fins al moment han estat realitzats a partir de les dades del corpus que Alcover i Moll varen confegir a principis del segle XX (1929-1933). La primera aportació d’aquesta tesi és que s’ha realitzat a partir d’un corpus propi de dades actuals elaborat al llarg dels anys 2008 i 2009. Aquest corpus de dades conté concretament les respostes de 54 informants de sis localitats eivissenques, dividits en tres franges d’edat, sobre la conjugació de 47 verbs de les tres classes verbals, més 18 verbs de la classe I que es varen enquestar de manera complementària. La tesi descriu de manera detallada les ocurrències del segment velar detectades en aquest corpus i les analitza des de tres punts de vista: morfològic, distribucional i variacional. L’anàlisi morfològica ens ha permès constatar que el segment velar en eivissenc apareix a totes les classes verbals, fet que ens obliga descartar el tractament de la velar com a marca específica de la classe II. En base a l’anàlisi que fem de la totalitat de les ocurrències del segment velar, postulem que la velar és una marca d’extensió a totes les classes verbals, tret de la classe I on cal que sigui tractada com a marca de nombre/persona, ja que només ocorre a les formes de la primera persona del singular del present d’indicatiu. La interpretació com a extensió que fem del segment velar que ocorre als verbs de la classe III ens ha portat a postular una nova estructura verbal a partir de la proposada a Viaplana (1984, 1986). Aquesta nova estructura presenta l’avantatge que permet donar un tractament unitari a totes les ocurrències del segment velar i palatal en eivissenc (i, de manera extensiva, a la resta de varietats de la llengua catalana) i també possibilita, com en el cas de Viaplana, el tractament paral·lel de tots dos segments. A l’anàlisi distribucional, elaborat a partir dels conceptes de patrons morfològics de Querol (2009), que segueix els postulats de Maiden (2001, 2003), establim, en funció de les respostes majoritàries dels informants, quatre patrons generals de distribució del segment velar en eivissenc. Aquests quatre patrons reflecteixen una diferència de grau en la velarització, que justifiquem, en la majoria de casos, per les condicions fòniques de l’arrel verbal. A grans trets, hem certificat que el que ocorre és que el patró velar bàsic, que és el que mostra el grau més alt de velarització, actua sobre els paradigmes de tots els verbs, de manera que els verbs d’altres patrons velars presenten una variació que tendeix al patró més ampli que tenen per sobre. Els resultats de l’anàlisi variacional ens permeten determinar, en relació amb la variació respecte dels patrons, que es donen dos tendències majoritàries i contràries entre elles: l’augment de la velarització, que respon a moviments interns del dialecte, i la disminució de la velarització, que és el resultat de la pressió d’altres varietats lingüístiques. Per últim, l’anàlisi sobre la variació geogràfica i generacional ens permet, d’una banda, establir una divisió entre les localitats més afectades pels efectes del turisme (on l’estructura de la societat ha canviat més) i les que s’han mantingut més allunyades d’aquests efectes (i on, per tant, l’estructura de la societat ha patit menys canvis). D’altra banda, en relació amb les diferències generacionals, el gran canvi es troba en les respostes dels informants de la franja 3, els més joves, que, per una banda, presenten més formes similars a la varietat estàndard però que, a la vegada, són els promotors de l’augment de la velarització a la classe I, el fenomen més innovador de l’eivissenc que hem detectat a la tesi.
The doctoral thesis El segment velar en la flexió verbal de l’eivissenc. Anàlisi de la variació distribucional, geogràfica i generacional describes and analyses the velar affix occurrence in the verbal system of the Catalan dialect which is currently spoken on the island of Eivissa. The dissertation came into being with the aim of providing new data in two different fields: on the one hand, on the Ibizan dialect, specifically on its verbal morphology, which until now had neither been described or analysed in depth; and on the other, on the velar affix distribution in the Catalan verbal system, which has been, and still is, one of the most researched areas in the field of the Catalan inflectional morphology. Most of the former research on the Ibizan dialect, or studies that make reference to it, has been conducted based on the data collected by Alcover and Moll at the beginning of the 20th century (1929-1933). The first contribution of this thesis is that it has been completed using its own corpus, which contains data collected between the years 2008 and 2009. This corpus gathers the answers of 54 respondents (divided into three age ranges) from 6 different Ibizan towns, about the conjugation of 47 verbs of all three verbal types, and also, surveyed in a complementary manner, about 18 type 1 verbs. The thesis describes in detail the velar affix occurrence in this corpus and analyses it from three different points of view: morphologically, that is, determining which role the velar affix plays in the Catalan verbal system; from a distributional point of view, following Maiden’s morphomic patterns (2001, 2003); and finally, in a variational way, from both a geographical and generational point of view.

Abstract:

Aquesta investigació presenta els resultats de l’aplicació d’una seqüència didàctica a l’ESO sobre la poesia musicada i la variació dialectal, entenent que tots dos aspectes formen part del patrimoni cultural. En primer lloc, s’exploren teòricament les relacions interdiscursives entre poesia i música i s’arriba a una proposta de definició de poesia musicada. A continuació, a partir d’uns criteris prèviament establerts, s’estableix un corpus de poemes musicats que serveixen de base per a l’experimentació educativa. Els poemes seleccionats són representatius de tot el domini lingüístic del català i tenen algun element de presa de terra (Casellas, 2013), que vincula la producció cultural amb el territori. Seguint l'estructura d’una recerca-acció, els estudiants han llegit els poemes i després n’han escoltat la musicació. A través de les dades recollides als formularis inicials i finals, els documents de treball per a la preparació d’una exposició oral per grups i d’unes entrevistes grupals, s’han obtingut dades que han permès analitzar l’impacte de la seqüència didàctica. En relació a la influència de la música en la recepció de la poesia, s’ha estudiat des del punt de vista de la comprensió i el de la valoració. Amb aquest propòsit, s’han analitzat les respostes lectores a partir de la classificació proposada per Fittipaldi (2012), la qual s’ha adaptat a les respostes davant la poesia musicada. Els resultats generals indiquen que d’entrada la música té una influència positiva en la valoració de la poesia però, en canvi, després d’un treball més aprofundit, hi ha més valoracions negatives. Així mateix, generalment la musicació del poema no en millora la comprensió. Tenint en compte aquests dos aspectes —comprensió i valoració— és interessant de destacar que en aquesta recerca els hem estudiat per separat però no de manera oposada, sinó que hem observat com es relacionen. Pel que fa a la variació dialectal, el camp de la dialectologia perceptiva (Montgomery i Beal, 2011) ha permès estudiar el fenomen des del punt de vista dels parlants. Aquesta investigació proposa una classificació a partir del que hem anomenat percepcions de la variació dialectal, les quals es divideixen en dos grans grups: percepcions sobre els trets i percepcions valoratives. Els resultats indiquen que una millora de les percepcions sobre els trets ajuda a una millora de les percepcions valoratives. També hem observat que la poesia musicada ha permès sensibilitzar els alumnes envers la variació dialectal sense interferir en la recepció de la poesia, ja sigui en la valoració o en la comprensió. En definitiva, aquesta és un investigació interdisciplinària que posa en relació la llengua, la poesia i la música. Així, es fomenta la interpretació conjunta de dos llenguatges, fet que estimula el pensament crític. El treball és també una reivindicació de les humanitats per l’impacte que tenen en la construcció de la identitat cultural, en aquest cas a través de la interpretació del patrimoni lingüístic, literari i musical.
This research presents the results of the application of a didactic sequence on sung poetry and dialectal variation in ESO, understanding that both aspects are part of the cultural heritage. First, the interdiscursive relationship between poetry and music is theoretically explored in order to propose a definition of sung poetry. Then, based on previously established criteria, a corpus of sung poetry is established and it serves as a basis for educational experimentation. The selected poems are representative of the entire linguistic domain of Catalan and have some element of grounding (Casellas, 2013), which links cultural productions with the territory. Following the structure of an action research, students read the poems and then listened to the text with music. The data collected in the initial and final forms, the working documents for the preparation of an oral presentation by groups and the group interviews, has allowed to analyze the impact of the didactic sequence. In relation to the influence of music on the reception of poetry, it has been studied from the point of view of comprehension and from the point of view of assessment. To this end, the reading responses have been analyzed based on the classification proposed by Fittipaldi (2012), which has been adapted to the responses to sung poetry. Overall results indicate that music initially has a positive influence on the assessment of poetry, but instead, after more in-depth work, there are more negative impressions. Likewise, the music of the poem generally does not improve its comprehension. Given these two aspects—comprehension and assessment—it is interesting to note that in this research instead of having studied them separately and in an opposite way, we have observed how they relate. Regarding dialectal variation, the field of perceptual dialectology (Montgomery & Beal, 2011) has made it possible to study the phenomenon from the speakers’ point of view. This research proposes a classification based on what we have called perceptions of dialectal variation, which are divided into two broad groups: perceptions about traits and evaluative perceptions. The results indicate that an improvement in perceptions about traits helps in an improvement in evaluative perceptions. We have also observed that sung poetry has made it possible to sensitize students to dialectal variation without interfering with the reception of poetry, either in assessment or comprehension. In short, this is an interdisciplinary research that links language, poetry and music. Thus, the joint interpretation of two types of language is encouraged, which stimulates critical thinking. The work is also a claim of the humanities for the impact they have on the construction of cultural identity, in this case through the interpretation of linguistic, literary and musical heritage.
Esta investigación presenta los resultados de la aplicación de una secuencia didáctica en la ESO sobre la poesía musicalizada y la variación dialectal, entendiendo que ambos aspectos forman parte del patrimonio cultural. En primer lugar, se exploran teóricamente las relaciones interdiscursivas entre poesía y música y se llega a una propuesta de definición de poesía musicalizada. A continuación, a partir de unos criterios previamente establecidos, se establece un corpus de poemas musicalizados que sirven de base para la experimentación educativa. Los poemas seleccionados son representativos de todo el dominio lingüístico del catalán y tienen algún elemento de toma de tierra (Casellas, 2013), que vincula la producción cultural con el territorio. Siguiendo la estructura de una investigación-acción, los estudiantes han leído los poemas y luego han escuchado la musicación. A través de los datos recogidos en los formularios iniciales y finales, los documentos de trabajo para la preparación de una exposición oral por grupos y de unas entrevistas grupales, se han obtenido datos que han permitido analizar el impacto de la secuencia didáctica . En relación a la influencia de la música en la recepción de la poesía, se ha estudiado desde el punto de vista de la comprensión y el de la valoración. Con este propósito, se han analizado las respuestas lectoras a partir de la clasificación propuesta por Fittipaldi (2012), la que se ha adaptado a las respuestas ante la poesía musicalizada. Los resultados generales indican que de entrada la música tiene una influencia positiva en la valoración de la poesía pero, en cambio, después de un trabajo más profundo, hay más valoraciones negativas. Asimismo, generalmente la musicalización del poema no mejora la comprensión. Teniendo en cuenta estos dos aspectos —comprensión y valoración— es interesante destacar que en esta investigación los hemos estudiado por separado pero no de manera opuesta, sino que hemos observado cómo se relacionan. En cuanto a la variación dialectal, el campo de la dialectología perceptiva (Montgomery y Beal, 2011) ha permitido estudiar el fenómeno desde el punto de vista de los hablantes. Esta investigación propone una clasificación a partir de lo que hemos llamado percepciones de la variación dialectal, las cuales se dividen en dos grandes grupos: percepciones sobre los rasgos y percepciones valorativas. Los resultados indican que una mejora de las percepciones sobre los rasgos ayuda a una mejora de las percepciones valorativas. También hemos observado que la poesía musicalizada ha permitido sensibilizar a los alumnos respecto a la variación dialectal sin interferir en la recepción de la poesía, ya sea en la valoración o en la comprensión. En definitiva, esta es una investigación interdisciplinaria que pone en relación la lengua, la poesía y la música. Así, se fomenta la interpretación conjunta de dos lenguajes, lo que estimula el pensamiento crítico. El trabajo es también una reivindicación de las humanidades por el impacto que tienen en la construcción de la identidad cultural, en este caso a través de la interpretación del patrimonio lingüístico, literario y musical.

Abstract:

"Els parlars del Baix Ebre. Estudi geolingüístic" és una investigació que descriu el català parlat a cada una de les localitats del Baix Ebre. En el marc de la dialectologia, i des del punt de vista de la geolingüística, les dades recollides a través de l'enquesta dialectològica feta a diversos informants de cada població serveixen per a analitzar la llengua catalana col·loquial de la comarca. Els resultats s'han organitzat i s'han presentat en els diferents nivells lingüístics: fonètica, morfologia, sintaxi i lèxic. A part de la descripció dels parlars del Baix Ebre en la seua totalitat, els objectius fonamentals de la recerca han estat establir les relacions i els paral·lelismes lingüístics existents entre els diferents parlars, determinar les àrees dialectals intracomarcals i precisar la classificació dialectal del català de la comarca. D'altra banda, els trets que han estat descrits en els quatre nivells lingüístics esmentats i que reflecteixen la variació interna de la comarca es representen cartogràficament a través d'un total de 1209 mapes. Aquest corpus de mapes constitueix l’Atles Lingüístic del Baix Ebre (ALBE), que fa evident la variació lingüística del Baix Ebre, tenint en compte la seua situació central dins del bloc occidental de la llengua. A més de la introducció, la metodologia, una descripció geogràfica i històrica de la comarca i un apartat en què es presenten els estudis lingüístics previs referents al Baix Ebre, completen el treball un llistat alfabètic amb tots els mots recollits en el nivell lèxic i un annex amb un etnotext de cada població, com a exemple de la parla col·loquial de cada una de les vint-i-tres localitats de la comarca.

Aparte de la descripción de las hablas del Baix Ebre en su totalidad, los objetivos fundamentales de la investigación han sido establecer las relaciones y paralelismos lingüísticos existentes entre las diferentes hablas, determinar las áreas dialectales intracomarcales y precisar la classificación dialectal del catalán de la comarca. Por otro lado, las características que han sido descritas en los cuatro niveles lingüísticos nombrados, y que reflejan la variación interna de la comarca, se representan cartográficamente a través de un total de 1209 mapas. Este corpus de mapas constituye el "Atles Lingüístic del Baix Ebre" (ALBE), que pone en evidencia la variación lingüística del Baix Ebre, teniendo en cuenta su situación central en el bloque occidental de la llengua catalana. Además de la introducción, la metodología, una descripción geográfica y histórica de la comarca y un apartado en el que se presentan los estudios lingüísticos previos referentes al Baix Ebre, completan el trabajo un listado alfabético de todas las palabras recogidas en el nivel léxico y un anejo con un etnotexto de cada población, como ejemplo del habla coloquial de cada una de las veintitrés localidades de la comarca.
"Els parlars del Baix Ebre. Estudi geolingüístic" is a research assignment meant to make a proper description of the Catalan dialect spoken in each of the towns and villages in the Baix Ebre County Council. Keeping in mind both dialectology and geolinguistics, all data were gathered by means of surveys to people from each community, whose given information has been properly used to analyse the colloquial speeches of the region. The final results have been organised and presented according to several different language levels, such as: phonetics, morphology, syntax and vocabulary. In addition to the proper description of the Baix Ebre dialect as a whole, the main objectives of our research were to settle the existing parallels and linguistic relationship among the different speeches in order to determine the different dialectal areas and, mainly, specifying its dialectal classification of this regional Catalan. The main features described in the four linguistic levels mentioned above, which are mirroring the region's inner variation, have been properly mapped by means of 1209 maps. All these maps have constituted the "Atles Lingüístic del Baix Ebre" (ALBE), in which the linguistic variation in the Baix Ebre region has been recorded, taking into account its central location in the frame of the Western bloc of the Catalan language. To begin the assignment, an introductory preface, methodology and a proper geographical and historical description of the region have been presented. It also includes a section to mention the previous linguistic studies regarding the Baix Ebre region and an alphabetical list with all the words contained (lexical richness). Finally, you will find an outstanding annex with an ethnographic text from each town or village. These are proper samples of the colloquial speech of each of the twenty-three localities (municipalities and also villages) of the region.

Visto que grande parte das descrições do pretérito perfecto compuesto (PPC - Este año lo hemos pasado mal) assume um caráter generalizador, isto é, apresenta a realização da forma verbal como comum a toda América hispânica ou, quando mais específica, a grupos de países que congregam diversas regiões dialetais, propusemos um estudo mais apurado da realização deste fenômeno na Argentina, procurando descrever seu comportamento e os valores que lhe são atribuídos nas regiões dialetais do país. A escolha da Argentina decorre, fundamentalmente, da impressão que tínhamos da existência de comportamentos diferentes conforme as zonas do país observadas e da inexistência de análises sistemáticas que descrevessem e comparassem o uso do PPC nas regiões dialetais argentinas. A fim de obter essas informações, analisamos entrevistas radiofônicas de uma importante cidade de cada região dialetal, pois acreditamos que este gênero discursivo pode propiciar um contexto linguístico adequado para o uso do PPC, além, é claro, de resgatar uma fala mais espontânea e menos monitorada. Por sua vez, nossa perspectiva analítica orientou-se por uma visão social da linguagem unida a pressupostos da Dialetologia, isso para possibilitar a compreensão da diversificação no uso do PPC nas diferentes regiões dialetais como uma resposta à relação imbicada que existe entre o homem (em sociedade) e sua língua. Obtivemos, ainda, contribuições teóricas advindas dos estudos da temporalidade e aspectualidade linguísticas, isso para que pudéssemos proceder à descrição dos valores associados ao uso do perfecto compuesto. O avançar dos estudos mostrou-nos que o pretérito perfecto compuesto pode ser usado de diferentes maneiras conforme as muitas regiões onde o espanhol é falado, sobretudo por ser uma forma...

Abstract:

The various dialects of Alemannic, a set of German dialects spoken in South-Western Germany, North-Eastern France, and Switzerland, are spoken by, in general, a decreasing number of people in these regions. However, the amount by which this has decreased varies drastically from region to region. This thesis consists of a study looking at the current usage of the dialects in Germany, a comparison of these statistics with those from France and Switzerland, and an analysis of the possible historical causes for the established disparity. It finds that major events non-linguistic events, primarily political, have caused continuing and self-perpetuating shifts towards standardised languages in France and Germany, and a lack of such events in Switzerland has precluded it from such shifts.

Abstract:

This thesis provides an extensive overview of the main linguistic features of coastal Dhofārī Arabic, the southern-most governorate in the Sultanate of Oman, and in particular the historical Arabic-speaking communities found on its coastal plain. The study is subdivided into key sections on phonology, morphology, local and temporal relations, adverbs and particles, and syntax. It also examines some of the features identified by these sections in a separate chapter on grammaticalization theory, seeking to explain the diachronic development of function words, as well as their synchronic usage in coastal Dhofārī Arabic today. A brief lexicon is given, based on the Wortatlas der arabischen Dialekte / Word Atlas of Arabic Dialects (WAD) semantic lexical categories, and supplemented with further lexical data from questionnaire and free speech recordings. The study finds that coastal Dhofārī Arabic shares common features with the Arabic dialects spoken in neighbouring Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and with the northern Arabic dialects of the Sultanate of Oman. It preserves the voiced and voiceless interdental phonemes /θ/, and /ð/, retains the voiceless uvular plosive /q/, and demonstrates variable levels of the vowel raising feature Imāla, which is found in other coastal communities within Arabia. Morphologically, it is typical of northern Omani Arabic dialects by its retention of more complex patterns of feminine plural agreement, both for human referents and for non-human referents. It exhibits feminine plural agreement for personal and demonstrative pronouns, and in the latter there are two separate forms of the pronoun which may indicate traces of a more complex, historical gender and number agreement system. These conservative agreement patterns are also found with verb inflection, where coastal Dhofāri still retains the plural feminine inflection morphology. Unlike the northern Arabic dialects of Oman, this dialect retains only vestiges of the ablaut passive voice, similar to that of its closest neighbouring dialect of Yemeni Arabic in Wadi Ḥaḍramawt, with which there are also strong historical relations. In terms of grammaticalization, this dialect has prominent tense / aspect / and mood verbal prefixes such as the /bi-/ continuous aspect verb prefix, the /bā-/ future marker, and the particles /ʕād/ and /qad/, in common with southern Arabian dialects extending into the Saudi Arabian Nejd, and also with some of the Modern South Arabian Languages. Its use of the analytic genitive possessive linkers /ḥaqq/ and /māl/ are notably more prominent that was previously thought, and warrant further investigation into their functional, grammatical roles. Despite the rich array of features found in this dialect, it faces strong pressure from MSA, and many of the original communities that spoke this dialect have been resettled as part of regional development since the 1970s. It is hoped therefore that this account of CDA will generate interest in its future study as well.

Abstract:

Nos recherches ont porté sur l'étude des différences de prononciation pouvant exister pour certains phonèmes arabes, dans deux parler, urbain et bédouin, en fonction des intervenants évoluant au sein d'un espace social particulier, la diwaniyya, au Koweït. La diwaniyya est un espace réservé propre à la structure sociale koweïtienne. Elle regroupe une salle principale aménagée pour la réception des invités. L'atmosphère qui y règne est semblable à celle des clubs sociaux, cercles culturels et littéraires et salons politiques. Notre problématique, ancrée dans le champ sociolinguistique, explore l'impact d'une variable extralinguistique, ici un lieu de rencontre qui est la diwaniyya, sur les productions langagières des sujets qui la fréquentent et sur les éventuelles influences qu'exercent les sujets les uns sur les autres au sein de cette structure sociale. Nous nous posons également la question de savoir comment se manifeste concrètement cette influence et si le chef de la diwaniyya, au centre du réseau social, exerce une emprise sur ses frères et ses amis, en agissant sur leur façon de parler. Nous avons principalement eu recours aux travaux de Labov ainsi que ceux de Milroy et de Gordon. Nous représentons les relations existant entre les personnes constituant le réseau en nous inspirant des schémas établis par Milroy et Gordon et de la notion de réseau "dense" et de réseau "lâche". L'intérêt de ce travail de recherche est donc d'analyser la réalisation de phénomènes choisis selon les locuteurs et de quelle façon celle-ci peut varier en fonction des membres appartenant à un groupe social donné. En outre, le paramètre à l'origine bédouine ou urbaine des locuteurs est prise en compte et analysée dans le cadre d'une étude phonétique et phonologique, en vue d’expliquer certaines variations des phénomènes cités
Our research focuses on the study of differences occuring in the pronunciation of certain Arab phonemes in Urban and Bedouin dialects, depending on the speakersand operating within a particular social space, the diwaniyya in Kuwait. The diwaniyya is particular to the Kuwaiti social structure. This space includes a main hall equipped for the reception of guests. The atmosphere that prevails is similar to that social clubs, cultural and literacy circles and political salons. Our problematic is rooted in the field of sociolinguistics. It explores the impact of extra linguistic variables - i.e. the diwaniyya as a meeting place - on the language productions of the speakers as well as the possible influences of each others' within this social structure. We also analyze the way this influence occurs concretely and wether the chief of the diwaniyya, as the center of the social network, exercices control over his brothers and friends, thus influencing their way of speaking. We mainly had recourse to the work of Labov and those of Milroy and Gordon. We represent the relationships between the persons in the network with established diagrams inspired by Milroy and Gordon and the concept of "dense" and "loose" networks. The interest of this research is to analyze the realization of chosen phonemes according to the speakers and the way this realization can vary according to members belonging to a particular social group. In addition, the parameter of the Bedouin or urabn origin of speakers has to be taken into account and analyzed in the frame of a phonetical and phonological study, in order to explain the variations of some of the phonemes

Esta dissertação, de natureza empírica e de cunho predominantemente descritivo, buscou registrar aspectos fonéticos em variação em estudantes de duas áreas rurais do município de Catu-Ba. Procurou também verificar se e até que ponto os traços em variação na fala espontânea daqueles indivíduos se refletem na escrita monitorada dos mesmos. Além disso, tentou desenvolver uma reflexão sobre as implicações pedagógicas da variação lingüística. A metodologia utilizada permitiu a constituição de um corpus composto de duas amostras: a primeira resultante da gravação de cerca de dez horas de entrevistas com 14 estudantes da primeira e da quarta séries do Ensino Fundamental do primeiro ciclo de duas escolas municipais; a segunda resultou da aplicação de um teste com os mesmos estudantes em que eles deveriam escrever palavras sujeitas às variações que constituíram objeto da pesquisa. Os resultados sinalizaram para a ocorrência diminuta, na segunda amostra, dos fatos variáveis na fala espontânea dos estudantes em foco.

Abstract:

Con la elaboración de este trabajo se ha pretendido una mejor caracterización de la noción de variedad, a partir del conocimiento del papel que desempeña la entonación en los dialectos. Así, el objetivo de esta tesis es ofrecer una descripción rigurosa de la entonación que presentan algunas variedades dialectales del español. Ha sido necesario acotar el ámbito de estudio y hemos decidido centrarnos en el análisis de las variedades asturiana, castellano leonesa, navarra, madrileña y vasca: cinco comunidades autónomas de la mitad norte de la Península de las que se investigan las características entonativas. El trabajo tiene interés tanto para la entonología como para la dialectología. Lo que aquí se pretende, sin embargo, no es un examen de todos los aspectos lingüísticos que aborda esta última disciplina. Se trata únicamente de estudiar los de índole melódica y, en consecuencia, quedan excluidos los de carácter léxico, gramatical o pragmático. Evidentemente esto es una abstracción porque la entonación no funciona como si en realidad le fuesen ajenas las dimensiones léxica, gramatical o pragmática; pero acerca de ella tienen la palabra los dialectólogos y no los meros entonólogos. Es muy de desear que los primeros analicen a fondo, desde su superior ángulo de mirada los que los segundos ven sólo a la luz de los datos fonéticos. Para ello, no obstante, es conveniente que los entonólogos realicemos nuestra tarea en la medida de nuestras posibilidades. Tampoco se abordan, en este trabajo, las variedades entonativas desde una perspectiva social, histórica o estilística; se trata, únicamente, de presentar las variaciones entonativas desde el punto de vista geográfico que los dialectólogos suelen denominar "geolectos". La caracterización que se presenta es el resultado de la aplicación del método de análisis melódico que propuso el Prof. Francisco José Cantero en su tesis doctoral (1995) y que, posteriormente, implementó la Prof. Dolors Font Rotchés (2005) en una investigación sobre la entonación del catalán. Las razones por las que se ha optado por este método de observación de la melodía se examinan en el apartado titulado "justificación metodológica" del documento; pero pueden resumirse diciendo que, tras estudiar otros muchos, éste nos ha parecido el mejor método de los que actualmente se conocen y emplean en el ámbito de la entonología para el estudio de la dimensión estructural de la entonación. El documento está dividido en cuatro secciones. La primera, trata de presentar el marco teórico en que se basa la investigación que hemos llevado a cabo: la teoría de la entonación de Cantero (v. capítulo II). Sin embargo, resultaba de todo punto necesario justificar la existencia de una tradición (v. capítulo I). Esta primera sección también examina la Teoría y análisis de la entonación de Cantero a la luz del sistema categorial de Charles Sanders Pierce (v. Capítulo III), tratando de desentrañar lo que está implícito en su obra y presentándola como la entendemos: un turno de palabra de inestimable valor en una larga conversación con la historia de los estudios de la entonación; una radical innovación porque además de poner de manifiesto la confusión en que crecía la entomología, distingue los niveles en los que la entonación actúa y propone un método de análisis que lleva mucho tiempo dando frutos. Sin embargo, la semiótica Pierceana libera a la fonología de los límites que la semiología saussereaa le ha impuesto y contribuye a asentar las bases de una teoría cabal, aquilatada y rica de la entonación. Tal como la entendemos, la entonación no es un sistema cerrado, una realidad material sin más, sino un lugar de confluencia: un ámbito; y el lenguaje, una red de ámbitos entretejidos que se condicionan, se relacionan, y que forma un todo superior a la simple yuxtaposición de las partes. Para el análisis de la entonación de ha elaborado un corpus ad hoc que posiblemente sea el más amplio que se haya utilizado en investigaciones de este tipo. Pero la cualidad más importante del corpus no tiene que ver tanto con sus dimensiones como con que se trata de enunciados de habla espontánea que además, ofrecen una calidad acústica muy notable porque se han extraído de programas televisivos equipados con la tecnología más idónea para asegurarla: de dichos programas se han seleccionado 1000 enunciados producidos en un contexto de diálogo por 365 informantes diferentes. Los enunciados que componen el conjunto de datos son emisiones de informantes de Asturias, Navarra, Castilla León, Madrid y el País Vasco: 200 enunciados por variedad que forman un corpus perfectamente equilibrado de cinco variedades de habla del español de la Península. El análisis independiente de cada uno de los corpus ha permitido detectar cuáles son las peculiaridades melódicas de los hablantes de cada zona. Por ejemplo, se ha podido describir en qué consiste la peculiar entonación de las personas de Euskadi: como se ha explicado, tienden a producir inflexiones finales muy pronunciadas (tanto de ascenso como de descenso), inflexiones que, además suelen ser circunflejas. Por otro lado, existe una marcada tendencia a pronunciar la primera parte del enunciado de forma llamativamente plana, lo que hace que el primer pico no sobresalga tonalmente. Estas características son, en parte, compartidas por los hablantes de navarra que, por ejemplo, también presentan una propensión a terminar las emisiones con un movimiento tonal muy marcado. En suma, en el presente estudio se ha querido investigar las características entonativas esenciales de las variedades dialectales del español. Hemos acotado el ámbito de estudio y nos hemos centrado en el habla de los geolectos de Asturias, Navarra, Euskadi, Madrid y Castilla y León y hemos definido el perfil melódico de cada una de estas zonas geográficas. Posteriormente y a la luz de los datos hemos extraído las regularidades que pueden servir, provisionalmente, para caracterizar la entonación que se utiliza en el español del norte. Sin embargo, existen rasgos que precisan ser estudiados desde otra perspectiva para aclarar la cuestión de si las funciones que desempeñan los rasgos descritos son las mismas en todas las comunidades El estudio que he llevado a cabo deja cuestiones abiertas. La complejidad del fenómeno entonativo reside en la interrelación de sus niveles. Es necesario desarrollar un método que permita comprender y explicar su coestructuración compleja. Esto, a su vez exige que se la considere no como un fenómeno físico estático sino como un ámbito dinámico que da lugar a procesos de muy diverso carácter. Sin embargo, la revisión teórica de la propuesta de Cantero (2002) que se lleva a cabo y el corpus de grabaciones que se facilita, simplificarán la labor de responder a algunas de esas cuestiones Desde el punto de vista teórico, creo haber contribuido a una línea de pensamiento libre de las ataduras que la semiología saussereana había impuesto a la fonología estructural. He colaborado en la tarea de asentar las bases de una teoría cabal, aquilatada y rica de la entonación que asegure la buena praxis de los estudiosos. Mi propuesta cumple con varios requisitos exigibles a toda teoría lingüística: no trata de encontrar esencias puras sino que busca hacer una descripción realista y razonable; y parte de una fenomenología del acontecimiento lingüístico por antonomasia: el encuentro cara a cara con el otro donde la co-presencia espacio-temporal de los interlocutores, provoca un intercambio continuo de expresividad.

Abstract:

El trabajo analiza cinco diccionarios de reciente publicación representativos del registro del español de México por su carácter sincrónico, por el valor que se les otorga y porque en ellos se manifiesta, en diferentes formas y grados, la teoría lexicográfica actual. Se analizan las estructuras y los sistemas de los diccionarios respecto al registro del español de México y se presentan de forma esquemática los resultados. Para este objetivo, se revisan supuestos teóricos que giran alrededor del registro de voces y acepciones dialectales y que se ven realizados en los diccionarios y se hace un mapa de las palabras del español de México en los diccionarios analizados en cuanto a su cobertura (cuáles y cuántos vocablos) y su tratamiento (cómo se registran).
The thesis analyzes five dictionaries that have been published recently and are considered to be representative of the registration of Mexican Spanish for several reasons: their synchronic feature, the importance they are given and because of the fact that actual lexicographical theory is manifesting in them, in different ways and degrees. We analyze the structures and systems of theses dictionaries on the issue of the registration of Mexican Spanish and we schematically present the results. To this end, we review some theoretical suppositions gravitating around the registration of Mexican Spanish words and dialectal meanings and that are being realized in the dictionaries and we draw up a map of the Mexican Spanish words in the dictionaries analyzed from the point of view of their coverage (which and how many vocables) and their treatment (how they are registered).

Resumo: Visto que grande parte das descrições do pretérito perfecto compuesto (PPC - Este año lo hemos pasado mal) assume um caráter generalizador, isto é, apresenta a realização da forma verbal como comum a toda América hispânica ou, quando mais específica, a grupos de países que congregam diversas regiões dialetais, propusemos um estudo mais apurado da realização deste fenômeno na Argentina, procurando descrever seu comportamento e os valores que lhe são atribuídos nas regiões dialetais do país. A escolha da Argentina decorre, fundamentalmente, da impressão que tínhamos da existência de comportamentos diferentes conforme as zonas do país observadas e da inexistência de análises sistemáticas que descrevessem e comparassem o uso do PPC nas regiões dialetais argentinas. A fim de obter essas informações, analisamos entrevistas radiofônicas de uma importante cidade de cada região dialetal, pois acreditamos que este gênero discursivo pode propiciar um contexto linguístico adequado para o uso do PPC, além, é claro, de resgatar uma fala mais espontânea e menos monitorada. Por sua vez, nossa perspectiva analítica orientou-se por uma visão social da linguagem unida a pressupostos da Dialetologia, isso para possibilitar a compreensão da diversificação no uso do PPC nas diferentes regiões dialetais como uma resposta à relação imbicada que existe entre o homem (em sociedade) e sua língua. Obtivemos, ainda, contribuições teóricas advindas dos estudos da temporalidade e aspectualidade linguísticas, isso para que pudéssemos proceder à descrição dos valores associados ao uso do perfecto compuesto.

Abstract:

La présente thèse a deux objectifs principaux. Le premier objectif est de proposer une description de la phonologie et de la morphologie de base pour l’ensemble des parlers B20 connus à ce jour (16 au total). Le deuxième objectif est de mettre au jour de nouveaux critères, non lexicaux, en vue de l’amélioration et de la consolidation de la classification interne de ce groupe resté largement inconnu pendant longtemps.Les parlers B20 sont tous relativement proches les uns des autres, de tous les points de vue. Par conséquent, trouver des critères non lexicaux pour faire avancer les connaissances dialectologiques n’est pas chose aisée. Seule une description fine peut permettre de le faire. Je me suis focalisée sur la phonologie des parlers, sans ignorer pour autant ce que j’avais pu collecter comme données sur la morphologie nominale (classes nominales et PN) et verbale. La première grande partie de la thèse présente l’essentiel des résultats de cette étude fastidieuse. Ces résultats ont à leur tour alimentés l’étude présentée dans la seconde grande partie, consacrée elle à la dialectologie et plus précisément à la recherche de nouveaux critères pouvant être utiles pour la classification interne. L’étude des critères potentiellement utiles pour la dialectologie a révélé que les critères morphologiques retenus tendent à mieux confirmer les propositions de classification interne existantes (et établis sur la base de données lexicales) que les différents critères phonologiques. Si les premiers ont globalement tendance à corroborer les deux, voire trois sous-groupes proposés notamment par Grollemund (2012) et confirmer, indirectement, le caractère flottant du B20 (Bastin & Piron, 1999), les derniers révèlent une disparité bien plus grande au sein du groupe kota-kele. Cette thèse présente d’autres atouts. Elle constitue une contribution importante au travail de documentation des langues bantu menacées de disparition. En plus des nombreuses informations d’ordre linguistique, culturel et historique, la thèse apporte aussi sa pierre à l’édifice quant à l’élaboration d’un atlas linguistique du Gabon et à la classification des langues de ce pays
This doctoral dissertation has two main objectives. The first objective is to provide a description of the phonology and morphology base for all B20 dialects known to date (16 in total). The second objective is to uncover new criteria, nonlexical, for the improvement and consolidation of the internal classification of this group which has remained largely unknown for long.B20 dialects are all relatively close to each other, from all points of view. Therefore, finding nonlexical criteria to improve our understanding of the dialectological structure of this group is not an easy task. Only thorough linguistic description can change this. I focused on the phonology of the dialects, but did not ignore data about noun morphology (nominal classes and noun prefixes) and very basic verb morphology. The first major part of the thesis presents the results of this fastidious study. These results in turn are the basis for the study presented in the second major part which is comparative in nature and dedicated to dialectology and the search for potentially useful new criteria for the improvement of the internal classification of the group.The careful study of potentially useful criteria for dialectology revealed that the selected morphological criteria tend to better confirm existing internal classification proposals (mainly based on lexical data) than the various phonological criteria. If the former generally tend to corroborate the two or three subgroups proposed earlier (particularly by Grollemund (2012)) and confirm, indirectly, the floating nature of the B20 (Bastin and Piron, 1999), the latter clearly reveal a much larger disparity within the Kota-Kele group.This doctoral dissertation also has other assets. It is an important contribution to the ongoing documentation of Bantu languages, many of them being currently threatened with extinction. In addition to extensive linguistic, cultural and historical information, the thesis also wants to make a significant contribution to the development of a linguistic atlas of Gabon and to the classification of the Gabonese languages

Full text

Abstract:

Cette thèse est une modélisation diasystémique de la flexion verbale de cinq langues sames (famille finno-ougrienne), qui s'inscrit dans le cadre théorique des systèmes complexes. Elle se pose à l'intersection entre la complexité flexionnelle, avec pour but de démêler et modéliser les phénomènes intriqués d'allomorphie paradigmatique, et la complexité dialectale, en comparant cinq systèmes flexionnels de langues formant un réseau dialectal pour déterminer les mécanismes de différentiation et les flux interactifs qui entrent en jeu au sein du diasystème. L'analyse morphologique fait usage du modèle Paradigm Function Morphology, une approche réalisationnelle de la complexité paradigmatique développée par G. Stump, qui permet de modéliser le grand nombre d'alternances thématiques qui font la réputation d'extrême complexité de la flexion same. L'analyse des paradigmes débouche sur une taxinomie des verbes sames, sous la forme de classes flexionnelles, dans chacune des langues étudiées (sames du Sud, de Lule, du Nord, d'Inari et same Skolt), et sur un inventaire détaillé des mécanismes de flexion. À partir de ces modélisations comparables, je développe ensuite une analyse diasystémique de la morphologie verbale same en en interprétant les processus d'intrication, d'auto-organisation et d'émergence au sein du système. La configuration qui en ressort, renforcée par une étude dialectométrique, est celle d'un système dialectal à deux pôles décisionnels majeurs, ouest et est, et au centre une zone de transition et de compromis où se produisent des phénomènes de complexification phonologique et morphologique
This thesis analyzes the verbal inflection of five Saami languages (Finno-Ugric family) in a diasystemic modelization, working within the framework of Complex Systems Theory. It deals with both inflectional complexity, aiming to untangle and model the intricacy of paradigmatic allomorphy in Saami, and dialectal complexity, by comparing the inflectional systems of five languages organized in a dialect continuum, in order to highlight the mechanisms of differentiation and interactive flows within the diasystem.The morphological analysis uses Paradigm Function Morphology, a realizational approach to paradigmatic complexity developed by G. Stump. This framework gives me the tools needed to model the great number of stem alternations that makes Saami inflection renowned for its extreme complexity. From the paradigm analysis, I work to build a taxonomy of Saami verbs, in the form of inflectional classes, in each of the studied languages (South, Lule, North, Inari and Skolt Saami), and a detailed inventory of inflection mechanisms. Based on these comparable models, I then develop a diasystemic analysis of Saami verbal morphology by modeling the processes of intrication, self-organization and emergence happening in the system. The resulting configuration, reinforced by a dialectometric study, is that of a system with two major decision centers, western and eastern, and in the center a transitional zone of compromise where phonological and morphological complexification phenomena arise

Abstract:

En este tesis se presenta una caracterización de la entonación de las variedades meridionales del español peninsular (Andalucía, Castilla La Mancha, Extremadura y Murcia) y Canarias en habla espontánea, a partir de los postulados teóricos del modelo Análisis Melódico del Habla. Los presupuestos de la teoría del Análisis Melódico del Habla (AMH) están expuestos de forma detallada en Cantero (2002) y Font-Rotchés (2007) y las últimas aportaciones teóricas de la evolución del modelo en Cantero y Mateo (2011). La entonación se articula mediante procesos dinámicos según una determinada jerarquía fónica (entonación prelingüística) para producir entidades significativas, fonológicas (entonación lingüística), en base a la combinación de tres rasgos (/enfático/, /suspendido/, /interrogativo/). Estas representaciones permiten la incorporación de muy diversas significaciones no lingüísticas que aportan información de carácter personal y expresivo (entonación paralingüística). El estudio de la entonación puede centrarse en cada uno de estos tres niveles. La forma de integrar y delimitar el habla es lo que conocemos como el nivel prelingüístico de la entonación, en el que intervienen, junto con la melodía, los fenómenos del acento y el ritmo del habla. En este trabajo nos hemos centrado en este nivel de análisis, que permite identificar, entre otros, fenómenos como el “acento extranjero” o el “acento dialectal”, que es el que aquí nos interesa. Cada melodía es individual y se caracteriza por una serie de rasgos concretos (fonéticos), que en el modelo AMH se denominan rasgos melódicos. Estos rasgos son los siguientes: Anacrusis: sílabas átonas anteriores al primer pico. Primer pico: prominencia inicial de la melodía, que normalmente se corresponde con la primera vocal tónica del grupo o con la vocal átona siguiente. Declinación (o cuerpo): las sílabas entre el primer pico y la última vocal tónica, en la que empieza la Inflexión final (o núcleo): segmentos tonales desde la última vocal tónica hasta el final del grupo fónico. Para realizar la descripción de las características melódicas del español de las zonas indicadas, previamente se han realizado dos trabajos que considerábamos imprescindibles para establecer la validez de los resultados obtenidos: 1) Establecimiento de un amplio corpus: hemos obtenido y analizado 3238 grupos fónicos emitidos por 475 informantes. Es un corpus compensado en cuanto a su composición (sexo, edad, formación, etc.) y configurado de forma aleatoria. 2) Creación y validación de programas en PRAAT (scripts), que nos permitieran obtener de forma rápida y fiable los datos de frecuencia fundamental que configuran los perfiles melódicos. Se han realizado dos programas: uno que extrae los datos tonales y otro que realiza la estandarización de la curva melódica (aspecto capital del modelo AMH). Para la representación de los gráficos de dicha curva se han construido rutinas Excel. Esta automatización de la extracción de los datos nos ha permitido analizar, describir e interpretar los rasgos melódicos de la entonación del corpus constituido, las características que definen lo que conocemos como “acento dialectal”, en este caso del español hablado en el sur peninsular y Canarias. Estas características, como ya señalara Navarro Tomás (1944), recaen, básicamente, en el cuerpo, en la parte central del contorno; pero también se ha podido identificar un comportamiento hasta ahora no descrito del primer pico del contorno, el primer acento del enunciado. Los principales rasgos comunes en todos los corpus que hemos podido identificar son los siguientes: - Tendencia a la ausencia de primer pico tonal - Presencia mayoritaria de contornos con cuerpo “ondulado”, en “zigzag”, sin una declinación propiamente como hasta ahora la entendíamos (fundamentalmente descendente). - Tendencia destacable a cuerpos sin variación tonal, sin movimientos significativos entre los diferentes segmentos del contorno, los hemos denominado, en este trabajo, contornos de cuerpo plano. - En cuanto a la inflexión final.
In this thesis we present a characterization of the intonation of southern varieties of Peninsular Spanish (Andalucia, Castilla La Mancha, Extremadura and Murcia) and the Canary Islands in spontaneous speech, from the theoretical model Melodic Speech Analysis Budgets theory Melodic Speech Analysis (AMH, in spanish) are exposed in detail in Cantero (2002), Font- Rotchés (2007) , and Cantero y Mateo (2011). Intonation is articulated by dynamic processes according to a certain hierarchy phonic (Prelinguistic intonation) to produce significant entities, phonological (linguistic intonation), based on the combination of three features (emphatic /, / suspended /, / interrogative /). These representations allow incorporation of a variety of non-linguistic meanings that inform personal and expressive ( paralinguistic intonation ) . Intonation study can focus on each of these three levels. In our work we focus on intonation prelinguistic, one that can identify such phenomena as “foreign accent" or "dialectal accent", which is what interests us. To make the description of Spanish melodic characteristics of the areas listed previously have been two papers that we considered essential to establish the validity of the results obtained: 1) Establishment of a comprehensive corpus we collected and analyzed 3238 audio units issued by 475 informants 2) Creation and validation of PRAAT programs (scripts) that allow us to obtain fast and reliable fundamental frequency data that make up the melodic contours. This automation of data extraction allowed us to analyze, describe and interpret the melodic features of intonation corpus constituted the defining characteristics of what we know as "dialectal accent", in this case the Spanish spoken in the southern peninsula and Canaries. These characteristics, as noted Navarro Tomas (1944), fall, basically, in the body, in the central part of the contour, but also behavior has been identified so far described the first peak of the contour, the first sentence accent.

Abstract:

Sociolinguists have discussed problematic language ideologies, such as Standard Language Ideology (Lippi-Green 1997) extensively and social perceptions of Standard English in the U.S and U.K are well documented. However, most work in this area has focused on perceptions of dialects within national contexts. This study makes a novel contribution to the study of language attitudes, investigating perceptions of British regional dialects within the U.S. A survey was created to gauge perceptions of five British regional dialects (Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, London). 49 survey participants listened to audio clips of British regional dialect speakers and then completed a mapping activity, answered perception questions, and ranked each speaker on specific qualities. Results showed that speaker region had a significant effect on perception of almost all variables at a statistically significant rate, despite unfamiliarity with all but the London dialect. Results suggest that although participants are largely unfamiliar with varieties of English in England outside of London, they assessed them by recruiting pre-existing stereotypes about vernacular dialects.

Abstract:

L'espagnol est une langue internationale constituée de plusieurs variétés qui disposent de caractéristiques particulières. Il existe une tradition qui prétend maintenir une identité linguistique totale, mais sur un critère normatif prescriptif considérant tout ce qui n'est pas espagnol péninsulaire comme une « corruption ». Ce dernier est considéré comme l'espagnol « commun » ou « général », et l'espagnol des pays américains est perçu comme une « déviation » par rapport « au noyau » de la langue (l'espagnol de la péninsule).Plusieurs chercheurs s'accordent maintenant à donner la même valeur aux variétés de l'espagnol. Néanmoins, une bonne partie des études portant sur les variétés américaines ne sortent pas encore de cette tradition prescriptive : ce sont des descriptions de particularités, des différences par rapport à la norme établie par l'Académie Royale Espagnole. Cela est dû au manque d'une description de l'espagnol commun à tout le monde hispanophone qui servirait de modèle pour la comparaison. Ce manque (théorique et pratique) doit être compensé au fur et à mesure par les nouvelles recherches. L'espagnol doit donc être reconnu comme diasystème, tous les sous-systèmes ou variétés doivent être acceptés, étudiés d'une manière plus objective et avoir la même valeur axiologique.Pour dépasser cette tradition établie, on propose dans cette recherche, une caractérisation de l'une des variétés de l'espagnol suivant une approche globale et autonome. Plus précisément, une caractérisation de l'espagnol de Colombie et non pas des « colombianismes » comme il est d'usage. Il doit être possible d'arriver à une description nationale de cette variété au niveau lexical en réalisant des descriptions partielles dans des endroits stratégiques comme les grandes villes (capitales départementales du pays)
Spanish is an international language made of several varieties, each variety with particular characteristics. There has always been the tradition of maintaining a total linguistic identity, based on prescriptive normative criteria that consider the Spanish of non-peninsular origin "corrupted". Peninsular Spanish is considered "common" or "general" Spanish. Spanish spoken in American countries is seen as a "deviation" from "the core" language (the peninsular Spanish).Many researchers now agree to give the same value to all Spanish varieties. However, many of the studies on American varieties do not come out from prescriptive tradition. They describe particularities, or differences compared to the norm set by The Royal Spanish Academy. This is due to the lack of a description of the common Spanish in the Spanish-speaking world, which could serve as a pattern for comparison. This lack (theoretical and practical) must be compensated gradually by new research. Spanish should be recognized as a diasystem; all subsystems or varieties must be accepted, studied in a more objective way and have the same axiological value.To overcome this established tradition, in this piece of research, we propose the characterization of one of the varieties of Spanish following a global and autonomous approach. More specifically, a characterization of the Spanish of Colombia and not of the "colombianisms" as is done traditionally. We prove possible to reach a national description of this variety at the lexical level by making partial descriptions in strategic places like big cities (departmental capitals of the country)

Abstract:

Nesta dissertação, é estudado o Falar de Marvão, um concelho de raia, do Alto Alentejo, com baixa densidade demográfica, população muito envelhecida e uma taxa de analfabetismo acima da média nacional e regional. O presente estudo é composto por cinco capítulos. Nos dois primeiros, são apresentados os estudos dialectológicos realizados no distrito de Portalegre e é caracterizado o concelho de Marvão. O estudo do falar desenrola-se ao longo dos três capítulos principais, dedicados aos aspectos fonético-fonológicos e morfo-sintácticos, bem como ao léxico relacionado com o Homem. O Falar de Marvão está integrado nos dialectos portugueses centro-meridionais, mais especificamente na variedade da Beira Baixa e Alto Alentejo. Assim, apresenta a maior parte das características identificadas pelos linguistas do século XX sobre esta região dialectal, demarcando-se, contudo, por algumas particularidades que o distinguem dos falares dos concelhos circundantes, essencialmente ao nível de alguns aspectos fonético-fonológicos e do léxico. /ABSTRACT: ln this dissertation is presented a study on The Marvão 's Dialect, a bordering district from Alto Alentejo, with a low demographic density, very old population and a rate of illiteracy above the national and regional average. This study is composed by five chapters. ln the two first chapters, are presented the dialectological studies, which took place in the district of Portalegre, and there is also characterized the district of Marvão. The study of the dialect is developed along the three main chapters, which are dedicated to the phonetic, phonologic, morphologic and syntactic aspects, as well as the lexicon related to the human being. The Marvão 's dialect is integrated in the centre-meridional portuguese dialects, specifically in the Beira Baixa and Alto Alentejo’s diversity, presenting the main characteristics identified in this dialectical region by the linguists of the XX century. However, it distinguishes itself by some particularities, which differentiate it from the dialects spoken in the surrounding districts, mainly on the level of some phonetic and phonologic aspects and the lexicon.

A une époque où l’informatique a envahi tous les aspects de notre vie quotidienne, il est tout à fait normal de voir le domaine informatique participer aux travaux en sciences humaines et sociales, et notamment en linguistique où le besoin de développer des logiciels informatiques se fait de plus en plus pressant avec le volume grandissant des corpus traités. D’où notre travail de thèse qui consiste en l’élaboration d’un programme EPL qui étudie le parler arabe libanais blanc. En partant d’un corpus élaboré à partir de deux émissions télévisées enregistrées puis transcrites en lettres arabes, ce programme, élaboré avec le logiciel Access, nous a permis d’extraire les mots et les collocations et de procéder à une analyse linguistique aux niveaux lexical, phonétique, syntaxique et collocationnel. Le fonctionnement de l’EPL ainsi que le code de son développement sont décrits en détails dans une partie informatique à part. Des annexes de taille closent la thèse et rassemblent le produit des travaux de toute une équipe de chercheures venant de maintes spécialités
At a time when computer science has invaded all aspects of our daily life, it is natural to see the computer field participating in human and social sciences work, and more particularly in linguistics where the need to develop computer software is becoming more and more pressing with the growing volume of analyzed corpora. Hence our thesis which consists in elaborating a program EPL that studies the white Lebanese Arabic speech. Starting from a corpus elaborated from two TV programs recorded then transcribed in Arabic letters, the program EPL, developed with Access software, allowed us to extract words and collocations, and to carry out a linguistic analysis on the lexical, phonetic, syntactic and collocational levels. The EPL’s functioning as well as its development code are described in the computer part. Important annexes conclude the thesis and gather the result of the work of a team of researchers coming from different specialties

Abstract:

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le programme Nouvel Atlas Linguistique de la Corse et Banque de Données Linguistiques Corses et plus particulièrement dans la préparation du quatrième volume consacré à l’agriculture. A partir d’une collecte sur le terrain du lexique et des techniques relatifs à l’oléiculture et à la viticulture, une étude de géolinguistique et de sémantique lexicale est réalisée, à partir du corpus oral comprenant les données de la BDLC et d’enquêtes personnelles. L’examen de la répartition géolinguistique porte sur l’ensemble des variétés dialectales insulaires et est accompagné de commentaires étymologiques et sémantiques de chaque terme correspondant aux thèmes abordés. Pour conduire ce travail, nous nous sommes en particulier appuyés sur les travaux réalisés dans le reste du domaine italo-roman, notamment à travers un dépouillement systématique de dictionnaires étymologiques, historiques et dialectaux ; ce qui permet de donner une dimension comparatiste à notre étude. Cette recherche propose un développement de deux principaux axes : d’une part, l’évaluation de la diversité linguistique et la mise en évidence des rapports avec les aires voisines à la Corse et d’autre part, établir les processus de formation lexicale permettant, outre de retracer le cheminement de la langue, d’observer les caractéristiques des lexiques oléicole et viticole (lexique spécifique vs lexique général ; lexique hérité vs constructions motivées ; les analogies et les différences)

Examination of the distribution geolinguisticcovers all the islanddialects and isaccompanied by etymological and semanticcommentseachtermcorresponding to the topicdiscussed. To conductthiswork, weparticularlyrelied on the workdone in the rest of the Italian-Roman field -, includingthrough a systematicanalysis of etymologicaldictionaries, historical and dialectological ,whichallows to give a comparative dimension to ourstudy.This research proposes a development of two main areas: first, evaluate the linguisticdiversity and highlightrelationshipswithneighboring areas to Corsica and secondly, establishprocesses for lexical training, also to trace the language, observe the characteristics of the wine and olive lexicons (specificlexicon vs. generallexicon; lexiconinherited vs motivated constructions and the similarities and differences)
