Abstract:

Bilingual speakers are normally aware of what language they are speaking or
hearing; there is, however, no widely accepted consensus on the degree of
lexical and morphosyntactic similarity that defines the psycholinguistic
threshold of distinct languages. This book focuses on the Afro-Colombian
creole language Palenquero, spoken in bilingual contact with its historical
lexifier, Spanish. Although sharing largely cognate lexicons, the languages
are in general not mutually intelligible. For example, Palenquero exhibits no
adjective-noun or verb-subject agreement, uses pre-verbal tense-mood-aspect
particles, and exhibits unbounded clause-final negation. The present study
represents a first attempt at mapping the psycholinguistic boundaries between
Spanish and Palenquero from the speakers’ own perspective, including
traditional native Palenquero speakers, adult heritage speakers, and young
native Spanish speakers who are acquiring Palenquero as a second language. The
latter group also provides insights into the possible cognitive cost of
“de-activating” Spanish morphological agreement as well as the relative
efficiency of pre-verbal vs. clause-final negation. In this study,
corpus-based analyses are combined with an array of interactive experimental
techniques, demonstrating that externally-imposed classifications do not
always correspond to speakers’ own partitioning of language usage in their
communities.
