Data belonging to the article "Syllabification in Language Contact between French and Vietnamese"
<p>This dataset belongs to an article which will appear in the ICAAL 8 conference proceedings and which is dedicated to the syllabification in two language contact settings between Vietnamese and French. The paper discusses gemination and related phenomena. First, it contributes to the theoretical discussion on borrowing processes in loanwords and presents a model that includes all extant views and also accounts for other language contact situations. In our data analysis, we compare loan data to experimental data, and find similar processes in both scenarios. Syllable boundaries are shifted, consonants are geminated and consonant slots are doubled in certain syllabic environments. The emergence of gemination is especially noteworthy as it is only a marginal phenomenon in French and has not been found to exist in Vietnamese. Results provide evidence for our hypothesis that optimal Vietnamese syllables are closed, as these syllables have the highest frequency in the native lexicon. This goes beyond, but also corresponds to the idea that Vietnamese has a dimoraic minimum, and this paper provides more evidence for it.</p>

Data belonging to the thesis intitled "Prosody in Language Contact. French and Vietnamese"
<p>This dataset belongs to our doctoral thesis intitled "Prosody in Language Contact. French and Vietnamese". The dataset contains recordings of oral data as well as tables of written data, transcriptions and annotations. It also contains metadata about oral and written data. Detailed information about this data and how to understand it can be taken from our thesis.</p> <p>In the thesis, we are dealing with prosodic language contact between the languages Vietnamese and French. Our research is devoted to different language contact situations as well as to both directions of language contact. The starting point of our experimental research is the observation of French loanwords in Vietnamese. In this context, we examine prosodic adaptation patterns that speakers have undertaken to adapt the loanwords to Vietnamese. The focus is on the repair of structures that are illicit in Vietnamese: Consonants in certain positions in the syllable are replaced or deleted, consonant clusters are dissolved by epenthesis or by deletion of one of the two consonants, syllable boundaries are shifted, consonants or consonant slots in certain syllabic structures are doubled, and tones are assigned to syllables according to certain patterns.</p> <p>The aim of our experimental investigations then is to find out whether similar or different patterns occur in an instantaneous situation of language contact. Monolingual speakers of Vietnamese are exposed to French stimuli and asked to reproduce them in three different conditions. We have additionally conducted the same experiment with learners of French whose first language is Vietnamese. The experimental data show many similar patterns to the loanword data. However, the data from monolingual speakers in particular display much more variability. Finally, we reverse the direction of language contact: Native speakers of French are asked to reproduce Vietnamese stimuli. In this case, the question is whether certain patterns can be reversed in the opposite direction, which can partly be observed.</p> <p>With the help of the present work, we can gain a deep understanding of systematicity and variability in borrowing and second language acquisition. We conclude that from a phonological perspective, there are many similarities between the two fields of prosodic language contact, and we suggest, for the phenomena under consideration, to understand some aspects in their complexity in a gradual rather than a categorical way.</p>
Voices from Cabinda: Audio files of the examples in the paper "Você + 2SG in Cabindan Portuguese (Angola): Two Effects of Language Contact" (LaborHistórico)
<p>Audio files of the examples presented throughout the paper "Você + 2SG in Cabindan Portuguese (Angola): Two Effects of Language Contact" (accepted for publication in LaborHistórico). The audio excerpts are taken from my corpus of interviews in Cabinda, which will be made available soon. This fieldwork, conducted in compliance with ethical standards, was made possible through the assistance of the NGO <em>Ajuda de Desenvolvimento de Povo para Povo</em> and with the authorization of the <em>Secretaria Provincial da Cultura </em>in Cabinda. It received funding from the University of Augsburg (<em>Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses</em>).</p>
Voices from Cabinda: Audio files of the examples in the chapter of "Afro-Iberian Languages: Contact and Sociohistory" (LangSciPress)
<p>Audio files (and a few videos) corresponding to the examples presented throughout the chapter on Cabindan Portuguese, included in the volume <em>Afro-Iberian Languages: Contact and Sociohistory</em> (Lamberti/Agostinho, eds.; Language Science Press: https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/392). The chapter provides a panoramic overview of the main structural features of Cabindan Portuguese, preceded by a historical section on the spread of Portuguese in this Central African region, as well as a sociolinguistic section.</p>
