Abstract

The article deals with the northern Swahili dialect Bajuni. It is viewed as a language peninsula rather than island, attached to neighbouring and related dialects to the south but jutting north into Somali-speaking areas. It is currently severely endangered, having been largely replaced by Somali in Somalia, and Swahili in Kenya during the late twentieth century, so it is regarded essentially as a historical language peninsula. It is treated under these headings: geography and population; history; political, sociocultural, and economic context; linguistics; regularity/complexity/stability; contact phenomena; sociolinguistics; language use and attitudes; networks.

巴朱尼 - 语言半岛

本文涉及斯瓦希里语北部方言巴朱尼语。它被视为一个语言半岛而非岛屿，南部与邻近的相关方言相连，但向北延伸到索马里语地区。二十世纪后期，索马里的索马里语和肯尼亚的斯瓦希里语在很大程度上取代了巴朱尼语，因此巴朱尼语目前濒临灭绝，基本上被视为一个历史性的语言半岛。本报告在以下标题下对其进行了论述：地理和人口；历史；政治、社会文化和经济背景；语言学；规律性/复杂性/稳定性；接触现象；社会语言学；语言使用和态度；网络。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Language Contact (JLC) is a peer-reviewed open access journal. It focuses on the study of language contact, language use and language change in accordance with a view of language contact whereby both empirical data (the precise description of languages and how they are used) and the resulting theoretical elaborations (hence the statement and analysis of new problems) become the primary engines for advancing our understanding of the nature of language. This involves linguistic, anthropological, historical, and cognitive factors. Such an approach makes a major new contribution to understanding language change at a time when there is a notable increase of interest and activity in this field. The Journal of Language Contact accepts articles in English and French.
