Abstract:

The book deals with the concept of fragmentation as applied to
languages and their documentation. It focuses in particular on the
theoretical and methodological consequences of such a fragmentation
for the linguistic analysis and interpretation of texts and, hence,
for the reconstruction of languages. Furthermore, by adopting an
innovative perspective, the book aims to test the application of the
concept of fragmentation to languages which are not commonly included
in the categories of ‘Corpussprache’, ‘Trümmersprache’, and
‘Restsprache’. This is the case with diachronic or diatopic varieties
— of even well-known languages — which are only attested through a
limited corpus of texts as well as with endangered languages. In this
latter case, not only is the documentation fragmented, but the very
linguistic competence of the speakers, due to the reduction of
contexts of language use, interference phenomena with majority
languages, and consequent presence of semi-speakers.
