摘要

世界英语是一个不断发展的研究领域,跟踪语言使用中发生的实时变化是一项具有挑战性的任务。本章旨在拓宽 "英语爱好者"(angloversals)研究的应用领域。"英语爱好者 "在文献中被描述为有别于标准英语的特殊特征,是世界各地的英语变体所共有的,无论其地理位置相近或文化归属如何。本定性研究假设马耳他英语中存在angloversals,并考虑采用混合方法来验证研究假设。本研究选取了随机采访马耳他英语连续体中的一位发言者的口语摘录。受访者和访谈者都以马耳他语为母语,在整个访谈过程中都用英语交流,没有出现两种语言混用的情况。先前的相关研究已将包含过度使用进行时、冠词省略和后置代词的句法结构,以及无标记的语音特征纳入英语爱好者类别。在语言接触对底层语言和上层语言都产生影响的情况下,上述特征尤其明显。马耳他语的情况就是如此,我们可以从马耳他语向英语的迁移、语言普遍性和语用原则等方面来解释上述特征的合理存在。

Detecting angloversal tendencies in the outer circle: a pilot study on a Maltese English speaker
World Englishes constitute an ever-developing study field where keeping track of the real-time changes which occur in language usage is a challenging task. This chapter aims at broadening the application field of the research on angloversals, described in literature as particular features divergent from Standard English and shared by English varieties across the world regardless of their geographical proximity or cultural affiliation. The present qualitative study hypothesises the presence of angloversals in Maltese English and considers a blended methodological approach to verify the research hypothesis. The study was performed on selected oral excerpts taken from a random interview to a speaker of the Maltese English continuum. Both the interviewee and the interviewer are native Maltese speakers and communicated in English all throughout the interview with no instances of code mixing between the two languages. Syntactical structures containing the overuse of the progressive aspect, article omission and resumptive pronouns, as well as unmarked phonology traits have been included in the angloversal categories by previous research on the matter. Said features are particularly found in contexts where language contact has had an impact on both the substrate and superstrate languages. This is the case for the Maltese context, where explanations for the plausible presence of the above features are to be sought in the realms of transfer from Maltese to English, language universals and pragmatic principles.

期刊介绍: Folia Linguistica covers all non-historical areas in the traditional disciplines of general linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), and also sociological, discoursal, computational and psychological aspects of language and linguistic theory. Other areas of central concern are grammaticalization and language typology. The journal consists of scientific articles presenting results of original research, review articles, overviews of research in specific areas, book reviews, and a miscellanea section carrying reports and discussion notes. In addition, proposals from prospective guest editors for occasional special issues on selected current topics are welcomed.
