Spanish + Portuguese = Mixing(?)
In sustained Spanish–Portuguese contact zones, there is often a mismatch between observable linguistic data and speakers’ views on the degree of resulting hybridity. Terms like “Portuñol/Portunhol” are suggestive of a “third” language, but little empirical evidence has been offered in support of such outcomes, and spontaneous speech does not provide the complete envelope of variation. The present study draws on data collected in Misiones province…
Moving past the Afro-Hispanic past
Urban Panamanian English, by Catherine Laliberté
The English language-in creole and noncreole form and always with the direct or indirect involvement of the United States-has played an important role in the linguistic ecology of Panama, beginning well before the nation was split off from Colombia in 1903.The American-engineered transisthmus railroad, opened in 1855, was built largely by Jamaican laborers, and subsequently the construction of the Panama Canal employed thousands of West Indians, …
Dialect Bias in Automatic Speech Recognition
The rise of artificial intelligence has prompted increased scrutiny of systemic biases in automatic speech recognition technologies. One focal topic of discussion has been the degraded performance for speakers of African American and Southern U.S. English. This study aims to contribute to the research on bias in voice-AI by investigating speech recognition performance for Appalachian English, an often-stigmatized variety in American society. Part…

When Creole and Spanish Collide
At first glance, the title of this volume might evoke unexpected interfaces, but after a moment's reflection, a well-stocked list of possibilities begins to emerge.To mention only a few: Haitians and Jamaicans in the Dominican Republic; Puerto Ricans in the Virgin Islands and vice versa; Colombian Spanish speakers on San Andrés; Creole English speakers along the Caribbean coast of Central America from Panama to Guatemala; Spanish speakers in nort…
Language Revitalization as L2 Shadow Boxing
In the Afro-Colombian community of San Basilio de Palenque, there are school-based efforts to revitalize the once-endangered creole language Palenquero. At present, most Palenquero language classes do not include grammatical instruction, active student production, or corrective feedback, and there is little or no communication in Palenquero between L2 learners and fluent adult speakers. One result is that L2 Palenquero speakers are overgeneralizi…
Code-Switching Knowledge as Heritage Grammar Attainment
This study examines sensitivity to putative grammatical constraints on intra-sentential code-switching, viewed as a relative measure of attainment in heritage bilingual grammars. This is exemplified by a series of interactive tasks carried out with heritage Portuguese speakers in Misiones Province, Argentina. The results demonstrate the viability of deploying a range of experimental techniques in field settings with heritage speakers who do not e…

What you hear is (not always) what you get
The present study offers data from native Spanish speakers who possess receptive competence in Palenquero, a Spanish-lexified creole spoken in the Afro-Colombian village of San Basilio de Palenque. Until recently Palenquero was endangered, but language revitalization activities are now underway in Palenque. These efforts are resulting in young L2 Palenquero speakers and receptive bilinguals, who do not actively use the language but who are expose…
Reconstructing the life-cycle of a mixed language
Aims and objectives: This study explores the assertion that bilingual mixed languages are only diachronically stable if they are not spoken together with both of the contributing source languages. Ecuadoran Media Lengua, which combines all-Quichua morphosyntax with nearly all lexical roots replaced by Spanish-derived forms, coexists in three communities with both Spanish and Quichua, having arrived in each community in successive generations. Met…
Pronouns, Interrogatives, and (Quichua-Media Lengua) Code-Switching
This study examines the processing of two putatively problematic intra-sentential code-switching configurations, following subject pronouns and interrogatives, in a bilingual speech community in which there are no confounding grammatical differences. The languages are Ecuadoran Quichua and the mixed language known as Media Lengua, consisting of the entire Quichua morphosyntactic system but with all lexical roots replaced by their Spanish counterp…
Transacciones discursivas, economía simbólica y cocinas de la Afromemoria en la Plaza de Mercado de Cali
Las plazas de mercado de la ciudad de Cali constituyen un epicentro urbano en donde han confluido tradicionalmente migraciones afropacíficas del pequeño campesinado en proceso de desarraigo rural y, más recientemente, población desplazada de áreas aledañas, como Valle del Cauca, Cauca, Nariño-Putumayo y Antioquia. Estos espacios comunitarios de intercambio mercantil, lingüístico y cultural emergen en la ciudad como enclaves de comunicación otra. …
Field-Testing Code-Switching Constraints
The present article provides an overview of ongoing field-based research that deploys a variety of interactive experimental procedures in three strategically chosen bilingual contact environments, whose language dyads facilitate a partial separation of morphosyntactic factors in order to test the extent to which proposed grammatical constraints on intra-sentential code-switching are independent of language-specific factors. For purposes of illust…

Can agreement be suppressed in second-language acquisition? Data from the Palenquero–Spanish interface
The present study examines the tradeoff between the on-line construction of modifier–noun gender agreement and verb–subject person/number agreement vs. the automatization and entrenchment of agreement, through the study of bilingual speakers of Spanish and the Afro-Colombian creole language Palenquero, whose lexicon is highly cognate with Spanish, but which lacks morphological agreement. The study focuses on first language (L1) Spanish speakers w…

Ecuadoran Media Lengua
This paper examines the status of two languages spoken in the Andean highlands of Ecuador: Imbabura Quichua and Media Lengua. The latter is a mixed language consisting of Quichua morphosyntax, including all system morphemes, and Spanish-derived roots for all lexical items. Imbabura Media Lengua is currently spoken in three small indigenous communities, surrounded by other communities where only Quichua and Spanish are spoken. Previous description…
Palenquero and Spanish
Linguists who have studied the Afro-Colombian creole language Palenquero — which shares a lexicon highly cognate with Spanish — have noted the introduction of Spanish elements, ranging from conjugated verbs and preverbal clitics to more complex morphosyntactic constructions. The apparent mixing has variously been attributed to decreolization, language attrition, code-switching, interference from Spanish, performance errors, and the possibility th…
Null arguments in transitional trilingual grammars
In this field note we discuss findings from pilot research on a variety of heritage German spoken in the Northeastern Province of Misiones of Argentina. Based on sociolinguistic field interviews with 25 consultants possessing varying degrees of proficiency in the language, we show that this variant of heritage German does in fact occasionally display instances of both null subjects (e.g
Colliding vowel systems in Andean Spanish
The acquisition of the Spanish 5-vowel system by speakers of the 3-vowel language Quechua (/ I /-/a/-/ʊ/) seldom results in accurate approximation to Spanish vowel spaces when learning takes place informally in post-adolescence. The present study offers data from a minimal immersion environment in northern Ecuador. In a context in which few cues point to the existence of mid-high vocalic oppositions in Spanish (e.g. no literacy, no corrective fee…
Spanish-English code-switching among low-fluency bilinguals
Spanish-English code-switching in the United States is not confined to the speech of fluent bilinguals, although the latter group exhibits the greatest consistency of structural patterns as well as the highest likelihood of conscious and voluntary control over language switching. Among less fluent bilinguals (including heritage speakers of Spanish as well as foreign language students producing the second language under duress) incursions from Eng…

Modern Spanish once-removed in Philippine Creole Spanish
Philippine Creole Spanish, formed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, underwent partial decreolization toward the end of the Spanish presence in the Philippines, particularly in the city of Zamboanga. Following the American occupation of the Philippines, virtually all Spanish linguistic influence has disappeared, but contemporary Zamboangueño continues to exhibit continuing incorporation of elements of standard Spanish, in the nearly tota…

Place of Chabacano in the Philippine linguistic profile
This study explores the nature of Chabacano (Philippine creole Spanish) within the Philippine linguistic profile. After describing the current status of Chabacano and Spanish in the Philippines, attention is turned toward historical documentation, and the considerable ambiguity surrounding the status of earlier attestations as examples of Spanish as spoken by Filipinos, a Spanish-based servants’ pidgin, or a true creole language. Focusing on Zamb…

"Fluent dysfluency" as Congruent Lexicalization
Code-switching among bilinguals has been typologically classified into three categories e.g. by Muysken (2000): alternation, insertion, and congruent lexicalization. Congruent lexicalization as usually defined not only requires that the languages in contact be structurally congruent, but also presupposes a high level of bilingual competence, as well relatively equal prestige and no tradition of overt language separation. The present study present…

First paragraph]The question of Spanish language usage among African-born slaves (known as bozales) and their descendents in Spanish America is the subject of much controversy, and has had a major impact on theories of Creole formation and the evolution of Latin American dialects of Spanish, Portuguese and French. Briefly, one school of thought maintains that, at least during the last 150-200 years of African slave trade to Spanish America, bozal…
Preposed Subjects in Questions

Prejudice and Pronunciation
PERSONAL NAMES, being verbal forms by which we identify ourselves to others, have more value than the mere communicative function that is common to all words. Since a name represents the individual to whom it refers, it is intimately and indissolubly associated with all his other characteristics. Thus it is virtually impossible to consider any personal name objectively, for the myriad associations of the name intervene to produce a subjective bia…

Free at Last
The Spanish-lexified creole language spoken in the Afro-Colombian village of San Basilio de Palenque has become endangered due to ethnic and racial prejudice and discrimination. Recent changes in community attitudes, coupled with frequent visits by linguistic researchers, have resulted in heightened metalinguistic awareness as residents strive to speak the "best" Palenquero creole. One manifestation of "fancy" Palenquero speech is the detachment …
