Abstract

English is the most used language in the Falkland Islands; however, Spanish was also spoken in the 19th century, when beef livestock farming was one of the economic engines of the Islands. Such businesses used to be managed by gauchos from South America, and their presence is still evident in the lexicon of Falkland Islands English. This article presents a novel methodological approach to the elaboration of loanwords corpora. Loanwords are later analysed in terms of their occurrence, frequency, appearance in dictionaries and the semantic fields they have penetrated. We have attempted to account for the volume of words that Spanish speakers lent to the Islands’ English. We observed that Spanish loanwords are mainly – though not exclusively – related to horse tack and horse types: it is clear from our data that most words are tightly connected to gauchos’ vernacular and not exclusively with their equestrian duties.
福克兰群岛英语的西班牙语部分
英语是福克兰群岛使用最多的语言;然而,西班牙语在19世纪也被使用,当时牛肉畜牧业是群岛的经济引擎之一。这些企业过去由南美洲的高乔人管理,他们的存在在福克兰群岛英语词典中仍然很明显。本文提出了一种新的方法论方法来阐述外来词语料库。外来词后来从出现、频率、在词典中的出现以及它们所渗透的语义领域进行了分析。我们试图解释讲西班牙语的人借给群岛英语的单词数量。我们观察到,西班牙语借词主要——尽管不完全——与马鞭和马的类型有关:从我们的数据中可以清楚地看出,大多数单词与高乔人的方言紧密相连,而不仅仅与他们的马术职责有关。

期刊介绍: English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
