- W2580272015 abstract "This paper addresses the issues involved in language shift in Beachy Mennonite communities in South Carolina. The home language of all of the speakers in this study was a Midwestern variety of Pennsylvania German, which they learned in their childhoods in Ohio or Indiana. They refer to this language as 'Dutch', or 'Deitsch', which are the terms I will use for the rest of this presentation. The language they are shifting to is North American English (henceforth simply ‘English’), the language of the larger society. External factors clearly motivate this shift; these communities, unlike the communities in which they were raised, are neither comprised solely of Dutch speakers, nor are they part of a chain of Dutch-speaking communities across a larger area. Instead, these South Carolina communities are relatively isolated enclaves, and although the majority of the members speak Dutch, recent arrivals include English monolinguals. However, although these external factors have certainly sealed the fate of Dutch in the next generation in these communities, the shift from Dutch to English that is underway for the first generation of settlers in these communities is only indirectly caused by external factors. The direct catalyst of language shift for these speakers are the changes in the social value of Dutch, and this paper offers an account of this sociopragmatic change. Language shift, described in terms of the Markedness Model (Myers-Scotton 1993) is the change in the unmarked choice of community language. In immigrant communities in the United States, this often occurs across generations, with the older generation speaking the immigrant language, and the younger generation speaking English. The motivation for the shift in the unmarked choice is often based on the shift of the sociopragmatic value of the immigrant language; when the identity it indexes is not important to the speakers, it ceases to be the unmarked choice. It is commonplace for this shift in sociopragmatic value to occur across generations. However, a more detailed look at language shift also includes assessing what the unmarked choice is in different domains within the community, and what the values are which contribute to these markedness values. In this study I analyze the ways in which bilingual speakers of Pennsylvania German and English talk about their languages to discover changes in the sociopragmatic values attached to these two codes, which in turn motivate the unmarked choices in different domains. These data are augmented by my own observations and the research of other scholars of Pennsylvania German." @default.
