Title Spanish in contact with English (BA FS & MA Lecture Linguistics) (UNGRADED)
Description Both English and Spanish are languages that have been spread around the globe as a result of colonialism, imperialism, and a diverse range of other migratory movements of speakers. In this lecture, we look at a range of language and dialect contact phenomena that have resulted from contact between Spanish and English as legacies of these forms of migration, with a focus on modern examples from across the Anglo- and Hispanophone worlds. During the course, we will review what we know about Spanish-English language contact, through journeys to the Pacific, the Americas, the South Atlantic, and Africa, as well as in multiple locations around Europe. The contact phenomena we focus on will include new dialect formation, second dialect acquisition, creolization, code-switching, language shift, interference and transfer, and lexical borrowing, as well as the identity-, ideology- and linguistic landscape-shaping practices that this contact has brought about.

Required Reading: Relevant readings will be uploaded to ILIAS for each week of the course.
