Spanish as a heritage language in the United States

Pachucos, Chicano Homeboys and Gypsy Caló
The term caló is well-known within many Mexican American communities as a bilingual slang that is one of several speech styles in the community repertoire, closely associated with Pachuco groups of the U.S. Southwest that came to prominence in the 1940's. But the term caló predates its introduction to the U.S. by many decades. With roots in a Romany-based germanio of the 16th century, from the speech of immigrant gypsies evolved a new Spanish-bas…

Influences of Gypsy "Caló" on Contemporary Spanish Slang
CalO refers to the criminal argot associated with the gypsies in nineteenth-century Spain. It is also the predecessor of a Mexican-American slang popularized by bilingual youths in the 1940s known as Pachuco calo or simply Pachuco. This article discusses the known history of gypsy calO and examines borrowings from it into the slang of several Spanish dialects. The path of gypsy influences on Pachuco calO is traced from the Old World to the New an…
Recent Research on Language Maintenance
From its beginnings to the present, research in the field of language maintenance and shift has advocated the preservation of ethnic minority and immigrant languages. This review of current published literature, which continues that advocacy, focuses on a narrow time frame (approximately 1998–2002) in order to provide broad, worldwide coverage of different language contact situations. The discussion largely excludes questions of language policy a…
Siempre and todo el tiempo
Bilingual dialects of Spanish in the U.S. tend to accelerate language change arising from variability already present in non-contact dialects. In San Antonio, Texas, variability between todo el tiempo and siempre suggests that the former has converged with the latter semantically. In the following example, the periphrastic form is used synonymously with siempre: Yo todo el tiempo les digo a mis chamacos.... 146 occurrences from an 18-speaker samp…

Pa(ra) Usage in United States Spanish
Spanish. In an attempt to determine if pa(ra)+ PLACE usage in Chicano Spanish differs systematically from that of its historical parent, Mexican Spanish, the present investigation surveys speakers from each dialect, addressing the following questions: first, is the reduction of para to pa categorical in Chicano Spanish? Second, how do semantic and syntactic restrictions on pa(ra)+ PLACE differ between the two dialects? Finally, is a being supplan…
