Abstract:
Traditional dialects have been encroached upon by the increasing mobility of
their speakers and by the onslaught of national languages in education and
mass media.
Typically, older dialects are “leveling” to become more like national
languages. This is regrettable when the last articulate traces of a culture
are lost, but it also promotes a complex dynamics of interaction as speakers
shift from dialect to standard and to intermediate compromises between the two
in their forms of speech. Varieties of speech thus live on in modern
communities, where they still function to mark provenance, but increasingly
cultural and social provenance as opposed to pure geography. They arise at
times from the need to function throughout the different groups in society,
but they also may have roots in immigrants’ speech, and just as certainly from
the ineluctable dynamics of groups wishing to express their identity to
themselves and to the world.
The future of dialects is a selection of the papers presented at Methods in
Dialectology XV, held in Groningen, the Netherlands, 11-15 August 2014. While
the focus is on methodology, the volume also includes specialized studies on
varieties of Catalan, Breton, Croatian, (Belgian) Dutch, English (in the US,
the UK and in Japan), German (including Swiss German), Italian (including
Tyrolean Italian), Japanese, and Spanish as well as on heritage languages in
Canada.
