| Summary: | Rajend Mesthrie examines the rise of a new variety of English among Indian migrant workers indentured on the plantations of Natal in South Africa. Considering the historical background to, and linguistic consequences of, language shift in an immigrant context, he draws significant parallels between second language acquisition and the processes of pidginization and creolization. In particular, he analyses universals of second language acquisition and the role of transfer from the Indic and Dravidian substrate languages. English in Language Shift observes the acquisition of language in its social setting, often outside the classroom. Its linguistic focus is on the distinctive syntax of South African Indian English, with respect to word order and clause structures; and it contains descriptions of lexis, phonetics and morphology, in terms of social variation. South African Indian English is compared with other dialects within South Africa, with English in India, and with Englishes generally |

Non-syntactic variation --- 6. Perspectives from second language acquisition --- 7. Perspectives from Pidgin and Creole studies ---- Appendixes Rajend Mesthrie examines the rise of a new variety of English among Indian migrant workers indentured on the plantations of Natal in South Africa. Considering the historical background to, and linguistic consequences of, language shift in an immigrant context, he draws significant parallels between second language acquisition and the processes of pidginization and creolization. In particular, he analyses universals of second language acquisition and the role of transfer from the Indic and Dravidian substrate languages. English in Language Shift observes the acquisition of language in its social setting, often outside the classroom. Its linguistic focus is on the distinctive syntax of South African Indian English, with respect to word order and clause structures; and it contains descriptions of lexis, phonetics and morphology, in terms of social variation. South African Indian English is compared with other dialects within South Africa, with English in India, and with Englishes generally Englisch Geschichte Gesellschaft Sprache East Indians / South Africa / Languages English language / Social aspects / South Africa English language / Variation / South Africa English language / South Africa / History Languages in contact / South Africa Indischer Einwanderer (DE-588)4344449-0 gnd rswk-swf Syntax (DE-588)4058779-4 gnd rswk-swf Inder (DE-588)4026711-8 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Soziolinguistik (DE-588)4077623-2 gnd rswk-swf Südafrika (Staat) Südafrika Kontinent (DE-588)4058393-4 gnd rswk-swf Südafrika (DE-588)4078012-0 gnd rswk-swf Südafrika (DE-588)4078012-0 g Inder (DE-588)4026711-8 s Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Soziolinguistik (DE-588)4077623-2 s 1\p DE-604 Südafrika Kontinent (DE-588)4058393-4 g Syntax (DE-588)4058779-4 s 2\p DE-604 Indischer Einwanderer (DE-588)4344449-0 s 3\p DE-604 4\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-02649-9 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-41514-9 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511597893 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
