Ethical considerations and good practices in linguistic work on endangered languages
Linguist-centred approaches to fieldwork on endangered languages aim to advance scientific knowledge while minimising unintended risks for participants. However, the situated nature of this fieldwork often calls for more community-centred ethical approaches so that research also translates into benefits for the researched community and not solely for science. Focusing on the relation between research and society, this article reviews macro- and m…
The Communication Patterns between Speech-Language Therapists and Parents/Guardians of Children with Developmental Language Disorders in Private Speech-Language Therapy in Cyprus
Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) experience communication difficulties and receive speech-language therapy (SLT) services in public schools and/or private clinics in Cyprus. This study aims to analyze the context and content of communication between parents/guardians (P/Gs) and speech-language therapists (SLTs) in private practice. The conducted cross-sectional study utilized nonprobability convenience sampling to recruit P/Gs …
Measures of Naturalistic Language for Dialect-Speaking Children
The aim of this study was to longitudinally examine mean length of utterance in words (MLU-w) and number of different words (NDW) and their association in children speaking Cypriot Greek (CG), a dialect for which such measures of language development have not been adequately investigated. Language samples from 36 typically developing monolingual CG-speaking children were collected at 4-month intervals from the age of 3;0 until 4;0 through free-pl…
Contact-Induced Change in an Endangered Language
Cypriot Arabic (CyAr) is a severely endangered Semitic variety spoken by Cypriot Maronites. It belongs to the group of "peripheral varieties" of Arabic that were separated from the core Arabic-speaking area and came into contact with non-Semitic languages. Although there has been a renewed interest since the turn of the century for the study of CyAr, some aspects of its structure are still not well known. In this paper, we present and analyze a n…
Langue ancienne, écriture nouvelle
Cet article aborde la question de la création d’un système d’écriture pour la variété arabe de Chypre dite sanna, une variété orale en danger de disparition, parlée par des membres de la communauté maronite de Chypre. L’article se situe dans la période 2007-2016 qui correspond, d’une part, à la phase d’initiation (2007), d’autre part à celle de standardisation, systématisation et diffusion de l’alphabet (2013-2016). Après une brève présentation d…
Trapezountian Pontic Greek in Etoloakarnania
The variety described here is Pontic Greek (ISO 639 name: pnt), and specifically the variety that originates from Trapezounta in Asia Minor (present-day Trabzon in Turkey) as spoken today in Etoloakarnania, Greece by second-generation refugees. The term ‘Pontic Greek’ (in Greek: ) was originally an etic term, while Pontians called their language by other names, mainly [ɾoˈmeika] ‘Romeika’ (Sitaridou 2016) but also [laziˈka] ‘Laz language’ (Dretta…
