Abstract

This study considers the role of Spanish-to-English calques in a variety of English that has developed alongside Spanish in Miami (U.S.). Data were obtained from three sources: (1) a production experiment (translation task) conducted with two generations of Cuban Americans, (2) a perception experiment (acceptability task) conducted with Miami-based raters and raters from a national audience using Mechanical Turk, and (3) calques and related lexico-semantic phenomena culled from a corpus of sociolinguistic interviews conducted with Latinx college students. Results of the production task show that Spanish-dominant participants make robust use of calque expressions; second-generation participants use them less. Results of mixed linear effects regression analysis show that Miamians perceive of local expressions more favorably than national participants, though like national raters rank non-calque expressions more highly than calques. The approval of the Miami raters to the local expressions was driven primarily by six test items: (e.g. get down from the car).

新兴迈阿密英语中受西班牙影响的词汇现象
本研究考虑了西班牙语到英语的calques在迈阿密(美国)与西班牙语一起发展起来的各种英语中的作用。数据来自三个来源:(1)对两代古巴裔美国人进行的生产实验(翻译任务),(2)一项感知实验(可接受性任务),由迈阿密的评分者和来自全国观众的评分者使用Mechanical Turk进行,以及(3)从对拉丁裔大学生进行的社会语言学访谈语料库中筛选出的calques和相关词典语义现象。制作任务的结果表明,西班牙语占主导地位的参与者大量使用calque表达;第二代参与者较少使用它们。混合线性效应回归分析的结果表明,迈阿密人对当地表达的感知比全国参与者更有利,尽管像全国评分者一样,非calque表达的排名比calque更高。迈阿密评分员对当地表达方式的认可主要由六个测试项目驱动:(例如从车上下来)。

期刊介绍: English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
