Loan Phonology
Author: Andrea CalabresePublisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027248230
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
For many different reasons, speakers borrow words from other languages to fill gaps in their own lexical inventory. The past ten years have been characterized by a great interest among phonologists in the issue of how the nativization of loanwords occurs. The general feeling is that loanword nativization provides a direct window for observing how acoustic cues are categorized in terms of the distinctive features relevant to the L1 phonological system as well as for studying L1 phonological processes in action and thus to the true synchronic phonology of L1. The collection of essays presented in this volume provides an overview of the complex issues phonologists face when investigating this phenomenon and, more generally, the ways in which unfamiliar sounds and sound sequences are adapted to converge with the native language s sound pattern. This book is of interest to theoretical phonologists as well as to linguists interested in language contact phenomena."

Linguistic Diversity and National Unity
Author: William A. SmalleyPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226762883
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
Unlike other multi-ethnic nations, such as Myanmar and India, where official language policy has sparked bloody clashes, Thailand has maintained relative stability despite its eighty languages. In this study of the relations among politics, geography, and language, William A. Smalley shows how Thailand has maintained national unity through an elaborate social and linguistic hierarchy. Smalley contends that because the people of Thailand perceive their social hierarchy as the normal order, Standard Thai, spoken by members of the higher levels of society, prevails as the uncontested national language. By examining the hierarchy of Thailand's diverse languages and dialects in light of Thai history, education, culture, and religion, Smalley shows how Thailand has been able to keep its many ethnic groups at peace. Linguistic Diversity and National Unity explores the intricate relationship between language and power and the ways in which social and linguistic rank can be used to perpetuate order.

Book Description
This study analyzes the influence of the first language of native English speakers (NES) over the learning of Thai as a second language. The focus was on the pronunciation of initial and final stop consonants, and comparing the Thai pronunciation of NES who have studied Thai less than one year with those studying over two years. This study emphasizes the importance of knowledge of the phonological rules in Thai, as knowledge of these rules will facilitate learning of Thai by NES.
