Abstract

This paper provides an account of the long vowel shift currently underway in the trans-statal Plautdietsch speech community. Placement of the shift within Labov’s typology of vowel shifts reveals a commonly overlooked development in Plautdietsch vowel movement, namely the centralization of mid-high back vowels which must have occurred before the breakup of the community into New and Old World groups. Shared centralization prompted both groups to have similar developments in the back vowel space after they were no longer geographically contiguous and prompted many groups to undergo centralization in the front vowel space. This case study reveals a pattern of innovation in which separation from parent communities fosters linguistic innovations in daughter communities. These innovations occur irrespective of the traditional Molotschna or Chortitza dialect affiliation of the daughter colonies in question.

普劳迪契元音跨越时空的移动
本文介绍了跨州普劳迪契语群体中长元音的移位现象。在Labov的元音移位类型中,这种移位的位置揭示了普劳蒂奇元音运动中一个通常被忽视的发展,即中高背元音的集中,这一定发生在社区分裂为新旧世界群体之前。共同的集中化促使两个群体在地理上不再相邻后在后元音空间有相似的发展,并促使许多群体在前元音空间经历集中化。这个案例研究揭示了一种创新模式,在这种模式中,与父母社区的分离促进了女儿社区的语言创新。这些创新的发生与传统的Molotschna或Chortitza方言的从属关系无关。
