Abstract:

Language Change in the 20th Century: Exploring micro-diachronic
evolutions in Romance languages examines the distinctive features that
set the study of the 20th century apart from preceding periods. With a
primary focus on Romance languages, including Spanish, Italian,
French, and Portuguese, the book advocates for the adoption of
innovative methodologies to enhance the nuanced retrieval of research
data: the use of speaker’s attitudes questionnaires, apparent time
constructions, and S-curves. Additionally, new materials are addressed
as diachronic data sources: mass-media recordings from radio and TV,
colloquial conversations, and sociolinguistic corpora. Results focus
on the evolution of discourse markers, address terms, as well as on
the influence of specific processes such as colloquialization or
external mechanisms on the language changes developed during this
period. In sum, the 20th century is presented in this book as a new
strand in diachronic studies, rather than another time span.
