The present article is motivated by observations regarding the particular use of the voiced labiodental fricative [v] in Rioplatense Spanish. This work offers a series of examples (n = 15) that serve to document the pragmatic value of [v] in this variety of Spanish, since not only does the voiced labiodental fricative occur with the letter v (i.e. hypercorrection), but it is also evident in contexts that do not require it, as is the case of the letter b , and can be subject to lengthening in order to add emphasis to the discourse. The results of this work suggest that [v] functions regularly as an ‘emphatic’ variant of the phoneme /b/ (i.e. both with letters v and b ) and therefore proves the close relationship between pragmatics and phonetics, not only at the suprasegmental level (such as prosody), but also at the segmental level.

The present qualitative study reports on a sample of six Arabic instructors (out of 30) who were asked to modify/correct their pronunciation of Arabic as it was considered “unsuitable” by members of the recruitment committee. Almost half the instructors believed that the corrections involved linguistic bias. The others did not take issue and welcomed such direction since they believed that modification may improve the learning-teaching process by using a common educated accent that is suitable for all. The study described the linguistic truth for Arabic instructors in terms of regional pronunciation. It could be applied to both first-and second-language settings where instructors are required to accept that their local pronunciation is non-professional and is unsuitable for teaching. This qualitative study is undertaken for the betterment of our perception toward language diverse identities. The findings are discussed within Social Identity Theory.

This paper aims to show how different types of linguistic variation should be considered and interrelated in the analysis of translated texts if no partial conclusions are desired. In the first section (§1), a brief theoretical summary of these types of variation is presented. Examples of various interference phenomena between source text and target text which correspond to each variation type are given. The paper presents a clear distinction between diatopic and contact-based variation of transfer. The benefits of comparing these variation types are proved by means of the analysis of a concrete morphosyntactic phenomenon: personal tonic object pronouns (§3, §4) within a corpus of Medieval Castilian translations (§2).

From the mid 19 th century, there is a tradition of classifying the dialects spoken in Norway on the basis of linguistic features that show the different developments of Norwegian dialects in time and space after the Old Norse period. Most of these features are phonological or morpho-phonological. The most prevalent theoretical background has been historical-comparative linguistics. Eight different classifications are presented, starting with a division into three main dialect areas (Aasen 1848); scholars later proposed a division into two (Ross 1905, Larsen 1897, Kolsrud 1951, Skjekkeland 1997)), four (Christiansen 1954, Mæhlum & Røyneland 2012) and even twelve dialect areas (Sandøy 1985). Some of these classifications build upon each other, others take a more original approach incorporating insights from structuralism and sociolinguistics. The possibilities to renew the tradition of dialect classification by introducing other linguistic and extra linguistic factors, are discussed at the end of the article.

This study reports the characteristics of monophthong oral vowels of an Acehnese dialect, spoken in Pidie, Aceh, Indonesia. Ten Pidienese female speakers were recorded to produce ten target vowels using a carrier sentence. Approximately 300 vowel tokens were analysed using Praat version 6.0.19. The data is also compared to the North Aceh dialect vowels. Formant plots and t-tests were done to study their similarities and differences. The results showed that /i/ and /u/ are produced similarly, but the vowels, /ε/, /ə/ and /o/ are produced completely different because they are unalike in terms of height and dimension. Meanwhile, the vowels /e/, /ɯ/, /ʌ/, /a/ and /ɔ/ are produced differently, where the Pidienese speakers produced them lower in the vowel space. This study contributes to the documentation and preservation of Acehnese, considering that it is only spoken by the Acehnese ethnic out of hundreds of ethnic groups that exist in Indonesia.

Native speakers of Welsh are well aware of geographical variation in features of the language, and are able to tell where people come from by listening to the way they speak. Welsh dialectologists have over the years looked at geographical variation in phonology, lexis and grammatical forms and have tried to establish where changes between different features are located. They have shown relatively little interest, however, in defining distinct regional dialects, and dividing the country into separate speech areas. This paper will look at those attempts which have been made in the frameworks of isoglottic dialectology, by John Rhŷs in 1897 and by Alan Thomas in 1973 and 1980

LA De, Construcción Ver, DE Infinitivo, Ángeles C Arrasco, P. P. E. E. Xpósito
In this paper, we analyze de (‘of’) + infinitive clauses subordinate to the Spanish perception verb ver (‘to see’). It is a late structure from a diachronic point of view which did not extend to the rest of the Romance languages. In the first part of the paper, it is shown that we are facing a defective construction with a syntactic behavior parallel to that of infinitive clauses without de ; in the second part, we demonstrate that this construction receives an epistemic interpretation, as the inflected verb clauses subordinate to ver . One of the conclusions of the study is that de is an evidential morpheme.
在本文中,我们分析了de (' of ') +不定式从句从属于西班牙语感知动词ver (' to see ')。从历时的角度来看,这是一个晚期的结构,没有扩展到其他的罗曼语。在本文的第一部分中,我们发现我们面临着一个与不带de的不定式从句的句法行为相似的缺陷结构;在第二部分中,我们证明了这种结构得到了一种认识论的解释,因为变形动词从句从属于ver。该研究的结论之一是de是一个证据语素。
