| Summary: |
In Linguist vol. 8-589 on April 25 1997 I asked for references about text comprehension in the case of unknown, but closely related, languages. The replies confirmed that this field is relatively unexplored. These are the references I've received: Chambers, J.K. (1982) Dialect acquisition. Language 68.4:673-705. Graff, D., Labov, W., & Harris, W.A. (1986) Testing listeners' reactions to phonological markers of ethnic identity: A new method for sociolinguistic research. In Diversity and Diachrony, ed. D. Sankoff. Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Company. 45-58. Labov, W. (1989) The limitations of context: Evidence from misunderstandings in Chicago. CLS 25: 171-200. Labov, W., Understanding Birmingham (new book about perception of non-native but mutually intelligible dialects, coming soon) Mackey, William F. (1979) Bilinguisme et contact des langues, Paris, Editions Klincksieck (in particular chapters 9, 10, 11) Niedzielski, N. (1997) Social factors and phonetic perception. Presentation at the LSA Annual Meeting, Chicago, 2-5 January 1997. Payne, A. (1980) Factors controlling the acquisition of the Philadelphia dialect by out-of-state children. In Locating language in time and space, ed. W. Labov. Academic Press. 143-178. Sankoff, G. 1968. Social aspects of multilingualism in New Guinea. McGill University dissertation. Sibata, T. (1958) Nihon no hoogen [Japanese dialects]. Tokyo: Iwanami Shoten. Sugito, M. (1982) Nihongo akusento no kenkyuu [Research on Japanese pitch accent]. Tokyo, Sanseido. Young-Scholten, M. (1985) Interference reconsidered: The role of similarity in second langauge acquisition. Selecta 6:6-12. In addition, it has been mentioned that Gillian Sankoff at the University of Pennsylvania has done work on communication along a dialect continuum in Tok Pisin. Thank you to Wendy Burnett, Corey Miller and Natasha L. Warner for their contributions. Alain Dawson orfqe@nordnet.fr |
