Language Variation and Contact-Induced Change
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Language Variation and Contact-Induced Change

Abstract

This study analyzes patterns in syntax-pragmatics (subject pronoun use) and syntax-morphology (nominal and verbal phi-agreement) interfaces in two unrelated varieties of Spanish, namely Afro-Ecuadorian Spanish (AES) and Istanbulite Judeo-Spanish (IJS). In spite of their geographical distance, the traditional variety of older AES speakers and the contemporary variety of younger IJS informants share similar patterns in the aforementioned features. We account for this parallel by proposing a model of cross-generational contact-induced language transmission that is grounded in current theoretical assumptions on the architecture of the faculty of language, its modularity and the vulnerability of modular interfaces. This model suggests that patterns in both traditional AES and contemporary IJS are actually nativized traces of advanced second-language acquisition (SLA) strategies or early first-language attrition (FLA).
