Language(s)? Evidence from Kazakhstan’s Shift in State Language and Language of Instruction
This paper investigates the economic returns to language skills and bilingualism. The analysis is staged in Kazakhstan, a multi-ethnic country with complex ethnic settlement patterns that has switched its official state language from Russian to Kazakh. Using two newly assembled data sets, we find negative returns to speaking Kazakh and a negative effect of bilingualism on earnings while Russian...
متن کاملLanguage specific phonetic rules: evidence from domain-initial strengthening
This paper investigates the domain-initial strengthening in English and Hamkyeong Korean, a pitch accent dialect spoken in northern part of North Korea. Domain-initial strengthening, which refers to the phonetic prominence of the initial positions, has been assumed to be cross-linguistically universal phenomenon due to the contrast preservation of the domain-initial syllables in phonology. The ...
متن کاملModeling language shift.
It is estimated that there are as many as 6,000 distinct languages currently spoken, but this cultural diversity is rapidly disappearing. In terms of the fraction of the total being lost, the estimated current rate of language extinction exceeds the rate of loss of biodiversity (1–3). Small geographical ranges and small speaker populations, especially in parts of the world experiencing high eco...
متن کاملA perceptual phonetic similarity space for languages: Evidence from five native language listener groups
The goal of the present study was to devise a means of representing languages in a perceptual similarity space based on their overall phonetic similarity. In Experiment 1, native English listeners performed a free classification task in which they grouped 17 diverse languages based on their perceived phonetic similarity. A similarity matrix of the grouping patterns was then submitted to cluster...
متن کاملPhonetic bases of similarities in cross-language production: Evidence from English and Catalan
Previous research has shown that speakers do not produce all non-native phonotactic sequences with equal accuracy. Several reasons for these accuracy differences have been proposed, including markedness, analogical extension from permitted sequences, and language-independent phonetic factors. In this study, evidence from the production of unattested obstruent-initial onset clusters by English a...
