Abstract [en]

Divided into two sections, this chapter presents Lusophone Africa as a multilingual region and offers an overview centered on recent sociolinguistic studies with a focus on Portuguese, including the widely spoken Portuguese-lexified creoles of Africa. The first section includes a brief literature review consisting primarily of studies about language contact, variation and bi-/multilingualism from a sociohistorical perspective with an emphasis on Portuguese-lexified creoles and African varieties of Portuguese. The second section focuses on recurring topics in Applied African Sociolinguistics during the last decade, mainly related to language and power and frequently applied to language-in-education and general language policies. The final remarks point out selected topics that merit further study.

Abstract [en]

During the 1800s until the First World War, the migration to Brazil by Swedish citizens reached several thousands. The majority of these migrants were poor laborers or peasants traveling in the hope of finding a prosperous life in the new country. The Swedish migrants migrated to the new country with minimal economic resources at their disposal and with limited opportunities to decide on their own situation. This article is concerned with the migrants’ representation of their routes in different Swedish newspapers or booklets at the time of their migration. These texts provide insights into the conditions the migrants experienced while traveling to the new country and establishing themselves there, as well as the confinements they experienced when encountering a powerful migration regime linked to the Brazilian government and the migration industry that consisted of agents that organized and administered the travel as well as ex-migrants of Swedish or other Scandinavian origin that offered different kinds of services. The article discusses how the Swedish migrants accounted for their attempts to improve their life-situation while dependent on the migration industry for their survival. However, their strategies also included networking with their friends and neighbors for both community and instrumental reasons. In this perspective, the migrants’ interest in publishing their experiences on the routes fits into their attempts to reclaim social agency and expand their social networks to include the broader Swedish society. One conclusion of the study is that the transatlantic migration of the 1800s seemingly had a resemblance to the current migration from the Global South toward the Global North; the migrants are struggling against exploitation and a powerful migration regime by investing their engagement in a larger social network.

Abstract [es]

Siguiendo el ejemplo de Ope Pasquet en 2020, que ya comentamos en la diaria,1 la diputada Inés Monzillo presentó en marzo de este año un proyecto de ley para implementar medidas de política lingüística en Uruguay con el título “Alteraciones gramaticales y fonéticas. Prohibición de su uso dentro de la Administración Pública e Instituciones de Enseñanza públicas y privadas”. Monzillo quiere prohibir o censurar el lenguaje inclusivo, y plantea una visión extremadamente reducida del debate sobre el tema en las lenguas románicas.

Abstract [en]

This article studies words of African origin with a lexicographic record in Uruguay, focusing on two chronological extremes: the first dictionary published in Uruguay in 1890, Vocabulario Rioplatense Razonado, and the most recent, Diccionario del Español del Uruguay, from 2011. It describes the journey of 14 lexical items through Uruguayan lexicography eliciting variants, derivatives, meanings, brands and information on their origin and use. It verifies if they have been collected in the Portuguese lexicography and presents possible etyma in African languages. To conclude, it highlights that most of the words appear in the most recent dictionary, that they are of Bantu origin and that they probably entered Uruguayan Spanish through Portuguese. It also notes that some of them are not far from their original meaning, while others have evolved in a distinct way in Uruguayan Spanish.

Abstract [es]

El presente artículo estudia palabras de origen africano con registro lexicográfico en Uruguay centrándose en dos extremos cronológicos: el primer diccionario publicado en Uruguay en 1890, Vocabulario Rioplatense Razonado, y el más reciente, Diccionario del Español del Uruguay, de 2011. Describe el recorrido de 14 voces por la lexicografía uruguaya elicitando variantes, derivados, significados, marcas e informaciones sobre su origen y uso. Verifica si se han recogido en la lexicografía del portugués y presenta posibles étimos de lenguas africanas. Para concluir, destaca que la mayoría de las voces figuran en el diccionario más reciente, que son de origen bantú y que, probablemente, entraron al español uruguayo a través del portugués. Constata igualmente que algunas no se alejan de su significado de origen, mientras que otras han evolucionado de manera particular en el español del Uruguay.
