[Lingtyp] Literature on lexical chunks in minority languages

[Martha Tsutsui]

I am looking for a publication on lexical chunks retained in communities undergoing language shift. For example, in the Ryukyus, many people are Japanese L1 speakers, and perhaps do not consider themselves speakers of Ryukyuan (Indigenous) languages, but they still use or recognize some Ryukyuan phrases or lexical chunks (e.g., greetings). Please let me know if this stirs any recollections of similar retentions in other communities.

Very best wishes,

Martha Tsutsui
