Deutsche Sprachinseln Weltweit
Im Zentrum der Beiträge steht die Erforschung des soziolinguistischen Phänomens 'deutsche Sprachinsel' unter kontaktlinguistischem, sprachhistorischem, dialektologischem und sprachpolitischem Aspekt. Die vielfältigen linguistischen und soziolinguistischen Entwicklungen, die deutsche Sprachvarietäten außerhalb des deutschen Sprachraums durchlaufen, konvergieren dabei letztlich in dem Gegeneinander von Spracherhaltung und Sprachverlust. The focus of the essays is the investigation of the sociolinguistic phenomenon of German linguistic enclaves with respect to language contact, language history, dialectology and language politics. The multifaceted linguistic and sociolinguistic developments, which German language varieties separated from the German-speaking homeland undergo, converge in the final analysis in the juxtaposition of language maintenance and language loss.
The Welsh in Metro America
Through a consideration of settlement patterns, economic activity, language use, and cultural and religious institutions, The Welsh in Metro America: Respectability and Assimilation in San Francisco, Seattle, Columbus, and Milwaukee, 1870–1930 provides a micro study of four Welsh immigrant communities in urban America. This book endeavors to understand the strength and long-term viability of these communities and the ways in which they changed by analyzing the forces that enabled Welsh immigrants and their children to so rapidly become Welsh Americans and, ultimately, to almost seamlessly enter the mainstream world of white, English-speaking, Protestant America.
