Intensification Strategies in English–Spanish Bilingual Speech
This paper investigates the speech variety of the English–Spanish community of Miami, which features a high degree of English–Spanish bilingualism. Specifically, it explores intensification, a site of analytic–synthetic conflict between English and Spanish grammars. English predominantly uses lexical-analytic strategies (e.g., very beautiful, a big house) for intensification, whereas Spanish employs more morphological-synthetic markers (e.g., gua…
Lexically driven patterns of contact in alignment systems of languages of the northern Upper Amazon
Despite ample attention in the literature for alignment patterns and case frames more generally, we know very little about how these elements of grammar spread from one language to another in a contact situation. Achieving a better understanding of this will help explain areal patterns in alignment and grammatical relation marking. In this contribution, we zoom in on a contact situation in the foothills of North-West Amazon, where languages of th…
Perspective-taking and intersubjectivity in oral narratives of people with a schizophrenia diagnosis
Disruptions in theory of mind faculties and the ability to relate to an intersubjective reality are widely thought to be crucial to schizophrenic symptomology. This paper applies a cognitive linguistic framework to analyze spontaneous perspective-taking in two corpora of stories told by people with a schizophrenia diagnosis. We elicited natural narrative language use through life story interviews and a guided storytelling task and analyzed the li…
Embedding in Shawi narrations
In this article, we provide the first quantitative account of the frequent use of embedding in Shawi, a Kawapanan language spoken in Peruvian Northwestern Amazonia. We collected a corpus of ninety-two Frog Stories (Mayer 1969) from three different field sites in 2015 and 2016. Using the glossed corpus as our data, we conducted a generalised mixed model analysis, where we predicted the use of embedding with several macrosocial variables, such as g…
