Abstract:
The volume 'General and applied Romani linguistics' presents papers form
the 6th International Conference on Romani Linguistics 2002 in Graz,
Austria. The collection reflects recent trends in Romani linguistics. The
last decades of saw both an intensification of the traditional
subdisciplines, such as descriptive linguistics and dialectology, as well
as the emergence of new subdisciplines, e.g. computational linguistics and
sociolinguistics. Parallel to this Romani linguists, using Romani as an
unique and valuable language sample, more and more participated in
theoretical linguistic discussion.
Section 1 contains two papers on dialectology. Matras proposes a
groundbreaking new approach to the classification of Romani dialects, while
Igla concentrates on the internal classification of a particular dialect
group of Romani.
Section 2 features descriptive studies on Romani varieties with little
documentation so far (Sechidou on a Greek Romani dialect, Cherenkov on a
Russian dialect, Adiego on Spanish Caló and Lapov on Romani varieties in
Croatia).
The papers in section 3 all discuss language change in Romani. Some are
concerned with contact-induced language change (Schrammel, Draganova and to
some extent Pirttisaari), others discuss language internal change
(Boretzky, Simonsen).
Section 4 finally introduces computational Romani linguistics with a paper
by Granquist on a morphological parser for Romani.
The final section contains papers on different aspects of Romani
sociolinguistics (Friedman on the future of Romani in Macedonia, Petrovi? &
Stefanovi? on Roma refugees in Kosovo, Marushiakova & Popov on the
communication of nomadic Gypsy groups).
