Tra le più note realtà linguistiche italiane all'estero spicca quella italoamericana, risultato dell'emigrazione degli italiani negli USA, contraddistinta da una durata di oltre 400 anni e da un ...dinamismo particolare. La monografia è incentrata sulla descrizione diacronica delle dinamiche e del cambio linguistico nel contatto italoamericano, laddove l'inglese è in contatto con l'italiano e/o con i dialetti italo-romanzi. L'analisi si basa, a grandi linee, sulla triplice percezione della lingua in quanto sapere, attività e prodotto e si svolge sistematicamente per ciascuna delle singole fasi del contatto. L'intensità e l'estensione del contatto nel tempo e nello spazio si rispecchiano nella composizione del corpus dei dati empirici. Essi coprono un arco temporale di quasi quattro secoli e consistono in 47 interviste, circa 1.300 lettere di migranti e numerosi altri documenti. Questo tipo di analisi linguistica, diacronica variazionale e migrazionale, rappresenta una novità metodologica nella ricerca contattuale e va inoltre a completare la storiografia linguistica dell'italiano, nel cui ambito, alle varietà italo-romanze parlate al di fuori dell'Italia, solo sporadicamente è stata prestata attenzione. La prefazione è di Tullio De Mauro. Insignito del Premio Kurt-Ringger 2013 dall'Accademia delle Scienze e della Letteratura di Magonza.

Germania Semitica explores prehistoric language contact in general, and attempts to identify the languages involved in shaping Germanic in particular. The book deals with a topic outside the scope of ...other disciplines concerned with prehistory, such as archaeology and genetics, drawing its conclusions from the linguistic evidence alone, relying on language typology and areal probability. The data for reconstruction comes from Germanic syntax, phonology, etymology, religious loan names, and the writing system, more precisely from word order, syntactic constructions, word formation, irregularities in phonological form, lexical peculiarities, and the structure and rules of the Germanic runic alphabet. It is demonstrated that common descent is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for reconstruction. Instead, lexical and structural parallels between Germanic and Semitic languages are explored and interpreted in the framework of modern language contact theory.
Argues for a postrationalist conception of translation based not on the translator's rational control of words and meanings but on a flowing through the translator of voices and textualities.
John McWhorter challenges an enduring paradigm among linguists in this provocative exploration of the origins of plantation creoles. Using a wealth of data--linguistic, sociolinguistic, ...historical--he proposes that the "limited access model" of creole genesis is seriously flawed. That model maintains that plantation creole languages emerged because African slaves greatly outnumbered whites on colonial plantations. Having little access to the slaveholders' European languages, the slaves were forced to build a new language from what fragments they did acquire. Not so, says McWhorter, who posits that plantation creole originated in West African trade settlements, in interactions between white traders and slaves, some of whom were eventually transported overseas. The evidence that most New World creoles were imports traceable to West Africa strongly suggests that the well-established limited access model for plantation creole needs revision. In forcing a reexamination of this basic tenet, McWhorter's book will undoubtedly cause controversy. At the same time, it makes available a vast amount of data that will be a valuable resource for further explorations of genesis theory.
