You have no right
The present study seeks to reconsider popular assumptions regarding the dynamics of power in interpersonal interactions in light of data from an historical North American speech community. Specifically, I examine directive and commissive speech act formulations in colonial Spanish Louisiana data, both in terms of the level of directness employed in their head acts as well as the degree of tentativeness which accompanies them. The corpus for the s…

Who Is Who? National Classification in Imperial Austria, 1867-1914
This essay acquaints an English-speaking audience with a pioneering case of a quasi-liberal state classifying its citizens by nationality or race: imperial Austria before 1914. The nationalities in question included Germans, Czechs, Poles, Ukrainians, Italians, and Croats—and perhaps Jews as well. Public policies of “national equality of rights” required that the state ascertain which persons belonged to which of Austria’s intermingled peoples, o…
Language Variation and Contact-Induced Change
This collection of original contributions dealing with Hispanic contact linguistics covers an array of Spanish dialects distributed across North, South, and Central America, the Caribbean, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Bosporus. It deals with both native and non-native varieties of the language, and includes both synchronic and diachronic studies. The volume addresses, and challenges, current theoretical assumptions on the nature of language var…
Hasta perder la última gota de mi sangre
In spite of the recent burgeoning of the field of Spanish socio-pragmatics, the category of commissive speech acts has been all but ignored in scholarship, particularly in contact varieties of the language. Colonial Louisiana presents an ideal context for this type of work. The analysis herein involves a corpus of 100 business letters between Spanish government and military officials in 18th century Louisiana. All commissive speech acts were iden…

Pieter M. Judson. The Habsburg Empire
At the heart of this hefty volume, which covers the long nineteenth century from start to finish, is the relationship between the Habsburg Monarchy and its national movements. Pieter M. Judson organizes his account around state institutions and around collective experiences that crossed linguistic, religious, regional, and other, possibly national lines. As a social historian, he enlightens readers with many telling perspectives “from below,” whi…
Zensus und Ethnizität
Censuses might be defined as distractions from lived life that annoy people at regular if infrequent intervals or as objects of study that even the best writers struggle to make interesting. Yet they rank among the major encounters between a state and its inhabitants—in theory, all of them, at the same time. And the ever-evolving social categories that underpin census questions affect myriad determinations of who gets what. In other words, census…

Variation through time and text type
This paper considers the applicability of modern theories of language to data from pre-modern language varieties. Specifically, I address the extent to which Blum-Kulka, House and Kasper’s (1989) taxonomy of directive head acts is valid for use in descriptions of these speech acts in Early Modern Spanish. In order to address this issue, data from two distinct primary sources was collected: first, a series of familiar letters written in the latter…
Power and indirectness in business correspondence
Although the language of business communication has become a popular topic of scholarly investigation in recent years, studies on historical business interaction appear sparsely in the literature. The current paper addresses a number of aspects of business language in the Spanish of Colonial Louisiana, specifically the extent to which the variable of power in professional interactions affected the form of directive speech acts issued, as well as …

Structuring Conversation
Due to the recent shift in the linguistic pragmatics literature from the analysis of isolated speech acts to the focus on phenomena which affect the global meaning of a message, discourse markers (DMs) have become a frequent research topic. Despite their popularity, the evolution and development of these forms is often neglected in investigations on the topic. In the present study, I analyze one class of DMs known as information structurers in ea…
Pleas from the New World
This article examines the types of syntactic mitigators employed in directive head acts in familiar letters written during the Spanish Colonial period (sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries). In addition to analysis of the head-act-internal verbal modifiers used in Early Modern Spanish epistolaries, a primary focus of this paper is the question of where the language used in these letters falls on the oral–literate continuum. The directive spe…
