摘要

摘要主语错位是一种常见的跨语言现象。在法语中，这是一种方言规范。在英语中，这是比较罕见的。本文在加拿大安大略省的一个独特的对比情况下考察了英语SD:两个社区，SD是一种社区规范，一个社区的人说英语和法语(Kapuskasing)，另一个社区的人口只说英语(Parry Sound)。错位的主体在两个地方都是由相同的潜在语言机制产生的，并受到主体类型和中间材料的平行约束，这表明了一种类型学上的普遍性。然而，在卡普斯卡辛中，SD是按年龄分级的，与传统语言无关。在帕里峡湾，它是过时的，在二十世纪稳步下降。我们的结论是，虽然类型学趋势受到普遍认知过程的影响，但本地嵌入的社会文化影响是分化的来源。

Subject dislocation in Ontario English: Insights from sociolinguistic typology

Abstract Subject dislocation (SD) is common across languages. In French, it is a vernacular norm. In English, it is comparatively rare. This article examines English SD in a unique contrastive situation in Ontario, Canada: two communities where SD is a community norm, one where individuals speak both English and French (Kapuskasing), and the other where the population speaks English only (Parry Sound). Dislocated subjects are produced by the same underlying linguistic mechanisms in both places, with parallel constraints by type of subject and intervening material, suggesting a typological universal. However, SD is age-graded in Kapuskasing, regardless of heritage language. In Parry Sound, it is obsolescent, in steady decline over the twentieth century. We conclude that while typological trends are underlain by universal cognitive processes, locally embedded sociocultural influences are the source of differentiation.

期刊介绍： Language Variation and Change is the only journal dedicated exclusively to the study of linguistic variation and the capacity to deal with systematic and inherent variation in synchronic and diachronic linguistics. Sociolinguistics involves analysing the interaction of language, culture and society; the more specific study of variation is concerned with the impact of this interaction on the structures and processes of traditional linguistics. Language Variation and Change concentrates on the details of linguistic structure in actual speech production and processing (or writing), including contemporary or historical sources.
