  • "Liberated from the Hapsburg yoke" : reference works for the Slovenian-American immigration
    Farina, Donna M. T. Cr. ; Vrbinc, Marjeta ; Vrbinc, Alenka
    This article is one of a series studying the reference books created for Slovenian immigrants to the United States. Slovenian immigration is part of the massive emigration at the turn of the ... twentieth century, especially from central and southern Europe. From 1905 until World War I, a significant number of Slovenians arrived in the US; they settled mostly but not solely in the Midwest and Northeast. The largest concentration of Slovenian immigrants was in Cleveland, Ohio. The article focuses on the megastructure of six reference books created to meet the needs of the Slovenian-American immigrants, published from 1895 to 1919. While some of these reference works are Slovenian-English/English-Slovenian dictionaries, others are grammar books or guides to basic conversation and acclimatization to American life. Such books played an important role in the acculturation of Slovenians in the US; their examination sheds light on the nature of the reference books themselves as well as on the immigrant world in which they were created. Slovenian immigrants are said to have "acquired English with relative speed and facility" (Gobetz 2014, 228). This article is a step in understanding how dictionaries and reference books supported this.
