Serie: Varieties of English around the world. General series, v. 8

Inhalt: This collection represents an important contribution not only to creole linguistics but also to Caribbean studies and English dialectology. It contains eleven essays on the special development and present-day functions of English and Creole in the Caribbean, ranging from Central America to Guyana. Topics include the spread of English and Creole, Spanish-English contact, the reconstruction of early phonology, the semantics of syntactic markers, the impact of colonial language policies, language and class, and the speech of Rastafarians.

Serie: Creole language library, v. 30

Inhalt: This volume in memory of Terry Crowley covers a wide range of languages: Australian, Oceanic, Pidgins and Creoles, and varieties of English. Part I, Linguistic Description and Typology, includes chapters on topics such as complex predicates and verb serialization, noun incorporation, possessive classifiers, diphthongs, accent patterns, modals in Australian English and directional terms in atoll-based languages. Part II, Historical Linguistics and Linguistic History, ranges from the reconstruction of Australian languages, to reflexes of Proto-Oceanic, to the lexicon of early Melanesian Pidgin. Part III, Language Development and Linguistic Applications, comprises studies of lexicography, language in education, and language endangerment and language revival, spanning the Pacific from South Australia and New Zealand to Melanesia and on to Colombia. The volume will whet the appetite of anyone interested in the latest linguistic research in this richly multilingual part of the globe.

Serie: Varieties of English around the world ; G41

Inhalt: This volume is concerned with assessing fictional and non-fictional written texts as linguistic evidence for earlier forms of varieties of English. These range from Scotland to New Zealand, from Canada to South Africa, covering all the major forms of the English language around the world. Central to the volume is the question of how genuine written representations are. Here the emphasis is on the techniques and methodology which can be employed when analysing documents. The vernacular styles found in written documents and the use of these as a window on earlier spoken modes of different varieties represent a focal concern of the book. Studies of language in literature, which were offered in the past, have been revisited and their findings reassessed in the light of recent advances in variationist linguistics.

Serie: Studies in corpus linguistics, v. 45

Inhalt: The relationship between dictionaries and computers goes back around 50 years. But for most of that period, technology's main contributions were to facilitate the capture and manipulation of dictionary text, and to provide lexicographers with greatly improved linguistic evidence. Working with computers and corpora had become routine by the mid-1990s, but there was no real sense of lexicography being automated. In this article we review developments in the period since 1997, showing how some of the key lexicographic tasks are beginning to be transferred, to a significant degree, from humans to machines. A recurrent theme is that automation not only saves effort but often leads to a more reliable and systematic description of a language. We close by speculating on how this process will develop in years to come.

Inhalt: Oldendorps Deutsch-Criolisches Wörterbuch aus dem Jahr 1767/68 ist das älteste, bisher bekannte Wörterbuch einer Kreolsprache. Es betrifft die niederländische Kreolsprache (Negerhollands) der zu diesem Zeitpunkt dänischen Jungferninseln (St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix). Oldendorp hielt sich 1767/68 für circa 18 Monate dort auf, um Material für eine Geschichte der Mission der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeinde auf diesen Inseln (seit 1732) zu schreiben, die 1777 in stark gekürzter Form erschien. Das bisher unveröffentlichte Wörterbuch ist ein Nebenprodukt seiner Arbeit, das unter anderem für die Missionare zum Erlernen des Kreolischen gedacht war. Das Wörterbuch umfaßt über 3400 Einträge von sehr unterschiedlichem Umfang und mit variierendem, uneinheitlichem Aufbau der Artikel. Die Informationen reichen von eins-zu-eins Übersetzungen bis hin zu phraseologischen und syntaktischen Beispielen, metalinguistischen Kommentaren und dem Hinzufügen verwandter Wörter, die in anderen Fällen als eigener Eintrag erscheinen können. Die Beispiele und Kommentare weisen Oldendorp als genauen und kritischen Beobachter auch der Sprache aus. Die Edition wird ergänzt durch ein etwa gleichzeitig entstandenes "Glossarium", das von einem Missionar der mit den Herrnhutern konkurrierenden Dänischen Evangelischen Mission zusammengestellt wurde und wohl Ausgangspunkt für ein größeres Projekt war. Es ist aus Sicht der dänischen Sprache verfaßt und berücksichtigt offensichtlich eine andere Sprachvariante als Oldendorps Wörterbuch. Die Bedeutung der hier zum ersten Mal edierten Sprachdokumente liegt nicht nur darin, daß es sich um das älteste Wörterbuch einer Kreolsprache handelt, das durch eine aus anderer Perspektive verfaßte Wortliste ergänzt wird; darüber hinaus dokumentiert es den Wortschatz sowie morphologische und syntaktische Merkmale einer zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch jungen Kreolsprache. Das Wörterbuch ist jedoch nicht nur von kreolistischem Interesse, vielmehr ist es ein im 18. Jahrhundert im deutschsprachigen Raum entstandenes lexikographisches Dokument, das in seiner Art ohne Vorgänger ist.

Inhalt: This is an edition of the first dictionary of a Creole language, compiled in 1767/8, together with a more or less contemporaneous vocabulary of that same language, the Negerhollands spoken on the Virgin Islands, under Danish rule at that period. There are more than 3400 entries, varying greatly in nature and length and ranging from a simple translation of the respective German lemma to extended articles containing examples of phraseology and syntax and also providing metalinguistic commentaries. The dictionary is a major document of the early stages of a Creole language. The same is true to a lesser extent of the vocabulary, which displays obvious Danish influences. Over and above this, the dictionary is also of outstanding value as a testimony of early 18th century lexicography in the German-speaking area.

Serie: Multilingual Matters

Inhalt: This collection brings together research on linguistic prescriptivism and social identities, in specific contemporary and historical contexts of cross-cultural contact and awareness. Providing multilingual and multidisciplinary perspectives from language studies, lexicography, literature, and cultural studies, our contributors relate language norms to frameworks of identity beyond monolingual citizenship - nativeness, ethnicity, politics, religion, empire. Some chapters focus on traditional instruments of prescriptivism: language academies in Europe; government language planners in southeast Asia; dictionaries and grammars from Early Modern and imperial Britain, republican America, the postcolonial Caribbean, and modern Germany. Other chapters consider the roles of scholars in prescriptivism, as well as the more informal and populist mechanisms of enforcement expressed in newspapers. With a thematic introduction articulating links between its breadth of perspectives, this accessible book should engage everyone concerned with language norms.
