  • The Creole legacy of a bounteous mutineer

    Philip Baker, Peter MühlhäuslerARTICLEActa Linguistica Hafniensia2013Referências: 3

    Ross and Moverley's The Pitcairnese Language (1964) revealed that its word [mɔːgə] ‘thin’could only be attributed to Edward Young who, alone of the Bounty mutineers, was born on the Caribbean island of St Kitts. This suggested that other Kittitian influences might be found in the speech of the mutineers' descendants, most of whom now live on Norfolk Island. Table 1 lists 50 such items which are potentially attributable to Young. We also discuss t…

  • On the origins of Pitcairn-Norfolk

    Open AccessPeter MühlhäuslerARTICLEStellenbosch Papers in Linguistics2012

    The attraction of looking at Pidgin and Creole languages to gain understanding about the origin of human language and weighty matters such as the nature - nurture debate is derived from the view that many Creolists subscribe to: That ontogenesis recapitulates phylogenesis. This view combined with the Cartesian view that there must be a general or universal grammar underlying the grammatical features of all languages is articulated, for instance, …

  • Language form and language substance

    Peter MühlhäuslerARTICLEJournal of Pidgin and Creole…2011

    This paper argues that creolistics has tended to overemphasize the formal and general properties of Creole languages to the neglect of their substantive and singular lexical properties. Rather than assuming that Creoles can express anything their speakers need or want to say as soon as they come into being, this paper shows, with data from a range of Creoles, that lexical adaptation to new natural environments is a prolonged gradual process. The …

  • Ecology of Languages

    Peter MühlhäuslerBOOKThe Oxford handbook of applied…2010

    The focus of this article is the ecology of languages. The first use of the ecology metaphor in linguistics is found in a paper by Voegelin and Schutz on language varieties, where a distinction between intralanguage and interlanguage ecology is drawn. The metaphor was introduced in Haugen's paper, titled "The Ecology of Language", in which he defines it as "the study of interactions between any given language and its environment". Characteristic …

  • Multifunctionality in Pitkern-Norf’k and Tok Pisin

    Peter MühlhäuslerARTICLEJournal of Pidgin and Creole…2008

    This paper investigates claims as to the role of categorial multifunctionality in the Pitkern-Norf’k (PN) language. It concludes that the grammar of this construction is far less productive than that of either English or Tahitian (the principal substratum language). Essentially, multifunctionality in PN is a subset of English. In this, it is very different from Tok Pisin, which developed an independent system of categorial multifunctionality over…

  • The Pitkern-Norf’k language and education

    Peter MühlhäuslerARTICLEEnglish World-Wide A Journal of…2007

    This paper examines the role that educational policies and practices have played in weakening the Norf’k language, a contact language that developed among British sailors and their Tahitian entourage on Pitcairn Island in the late 18th century. It is argued that the education system was only one of several factors in the decline of Norf’k and that its projected revival will require more than just supportive educational measures

  • Environmental Discourses

    Peter Mühlhäusler, A PeaceARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology2006Citada por: 22Referências: 36

    Discourses concerned with the perceived global environmental crisis have increased dramatically over the past couple of decades. This review consists of an ethnographic analysis of the principal components of environmental discourses as well as a discussion of the approaches employed to analyze them. These include linguistic discourses (ecolinguistics, ecocritical linguistics, discourse analysis) as well as approaches developed within other disci…

  • Simple English in the South Seas Evangelical Mission

    Beverly S Muhlhausler, Peter MühlhäuslerARTICLELanguage Problems & Language…2005Referências: 1

    The general point of this paper is to highlight the important role of Christian missions in the development of language planning. We document this with a case study: the attempt of the South Seas Evangelical Mission to devise a simplified English, intermediate between Pidgin English and full Standard English for their mission work in the south west Pacific. The relatively unsophisticated approach to corpus planning by this body is contrasted with…

  • Linguistic Ecology

    Peter MühlhäuslerBOOKLinguistic Ecology2002

    In this book, the author examines the transformation of the Pacific language region under the impact of colonization, westernization and modernization. By focusing on the linguistic and socio-historical changes of the past 200 years, it aims to bring a new dimension to the study of Pacific linguistics, which up until now has been dominated by questions of historical reconstruction and language typology. In contrast to the traditional portrayal of…

  • Changing names for a changing landscape

    Peter MühlhäuslerARTICLEEnglish World-Wide A Journal of…2002Citada por: 2

    Desert islands such as Norfolk in the south-west Pacific offer important insights into the genesis and development of languages. The paper addresses the particular issue of the origin of place names. It shows the tension between the different groups that settled on the island since 1788 and pays particular attention to the diverging naming practices of British colonial administrators and Pitcairn Islanders. It also comments on the consequences of…

  • Language Planning and Language Ecology

    Peter MühlhäuslerARTICLECurrent Issues in Language Planning2000Citada por: 30

    In an ecological approach language planning is seen as a process which is part of and closely interrelated with a large range of natural and cultural ecological factors. It is focused on the question of maintaining a maximum diversity of languages by seeking to identify those ecological factors that sustain linguistic diversity. Linguistic diversity in turn is seen as a precondition for maintaining cultural and biological diversity. The ultimate …

    See under 'Depositions' in the References.vi Our hypothetical pidgin is based on English and is used primarily for trade.In the most general terms, it is formed by speakers drawing on the lexical and grammatical resources of the languages in contact, one of which is English.But the contribution of these languages is not equal, with the more powerful group (English) tending to contribute more to the language.Pcrhaps the most important principle in…
