Transfer and language contact
In this article the author argues that the language contact situation between Pirahã (Muran) and Portuguese can best be explained in a framework combining the theoretical approaches to language contact and transfer. In this contact situation, Portuguese elements are readily incorporated into Pirahã, while the society remains largely monolingual. Only some speakers have a limited command of Portuguese, which they employ when communicating with out…
Why transfer is a key aspect of language use and processing in bilinguals and L2-users
Bilinguals and L2-learners are different from monolinguals not only because they know more than one language or can switch between languages, but also because they constantly need to juggle their languages: it has been proposed by some that both languages are active and available even when only one of them is being used (Bialystok, 2008; Dijkstra, Grainger, & Van Heuven, 1999; Kroll, Bobb, & Wodniecka, 2006). In situations where only one language…
Variation in Clause Combining
Introduction to the special issue on clause combining
Acquiring complexity
The Pirah language has been claimed to have no syntactic complexity. What happens when speakers of this language come into contact with another, more complex language? This paper reflects on the Portuguese used by a group of men of the Amazonian Pirah people
Mosetén and Chimane Argument Coding
This paper discusses the argument-coding system of Mosetenan, a small language family spoken in the Bolivian Amazon. While there is no case marking on nouns, all coding of arguments is found in the cross-reference ending of verbs. Intransitive verbs are marked for the gender of their subjects, except for the first-person plural inclusive, which has a marker, -ja’, that does not indicate the gender of the subject. Transitive cross-referencing is m…
Pirahã – in need of recursive syntax
Grammatical Borrowing in Cross-Linguistic Perspective
Language contact between Spanish and Mosetén
Mosetén (Mosetenan) is spoken by approximately 800 people in the foothills of the Bolivian Andes. All of the speakers are bilingual in Spanish and Mosetén. Spanish is highly dominant and as expected, Mosetén has borrowed many structures from this language. I focus on Spanish grammatical markers that are integrated into the Mosetén system. These elements include coordinating and subordinating conjunctions, discourse markers, certain prepositions a…
Investigating the mechanisms of pattern replication in language convergence
The replication of concrete formal-structural material (morpho-phonological forms with attached meanings) from one language in another is universally understood to instantiate grammatical and lexical ‘borrowing’ (we follow mainstream usage here and attach no value judgement to the word ‘borrowing’ itself, which is obviously just a metaphor). More controversial is the interpretation of contact-induced structural change that does not involve such r…
