Abstract

English is increasingly influencing the Icelandic language community, raising concerns about the state and prospects of the Icelandic language. Recent studies indicate that such concerns are probably justified. The viability of the language depends on it being used in all areas of daily communication and the attitudes of speakers toward the contact between Icelandic and English is important in this respect. This paper describes the results of a recent study of the attitudes of about 350 Icelandic speakers toward neologisms and their use of a few technology-related neologisms. The paper discusses possible reasons for why some neologisms are received more positively than others and the relationship between neologisms and language viability in the context of Icelandic. The general discussion is then related to the findings of the study which indicate that there is a general consensus among all age groups that Icelandic neologisms should be created and adopted instead of foreign loanwords, although the proportion of such responses is lower in the younger age groups. Icelandic neologisms were viewed more favorably than loanwords in most cases but it is nevertheless clear that not all neologisms are equally well received. We consider some possible explanations for such differences.
英语对冰岛语言社区的影响越来越大,这引起了人们对冰岛语言现状和前景的担忧。最近的研究表明,这种担忧可能是有道理的。这种语言的生存能力取决于它在日常交流的所有领域中使用,在这方面,说话者对冰岛语和英语之间接触的态度很重要。这篇论文描述了最近一项研究的结果,该研究调查了大约350名冰岛语使用者对新词的态度以及他们对一些与科技相关的新词的使用。本文讨论了在冰岛语语境中,某些新词比其他新词更受欢迎的可能原因,以及新词与语言生存能力之间的关系。然后,一般性讨论与研究结果有关,研究结果表明,所有年龄组的人都普遍认为应该创造和采用冰岛新词,而不是外国外来词,尽管这种反应在年轻年龄组中所占比例较低。在大多数情况下,冰岛新词比外来词更受欢迎,但很明显,并非所有新词都同样受欢迎。我们对这种差异考虑了一些可能的解释。
