This paper discusses a foundation for writing Hunsrückisch as a German immigrant language in contact with Brazilian Portuguese. This foundation brings together the main conclusions obtained by the Group for the Studies of Hunsrückisch Writing (Grupo de Estudos da Escrita do Hunsrückisch – ESCRITHU). This group was formed at the Language Institute at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul with the goal of proposing not only a system of orthographic norms for a language that exists mostly just in oral forms, but also to encourage research on and linguistic education for speakers of this immigrant language. An already extant literature in Hunsrückisch includes journal and magazine texts such as Sankt Paulusblatt or the Brummbär-Kalendar, published between 1931 and 1935, as well as texts by authors such as Rambo (2002 [1937-1961]), Gross (2001), and Rottmann (1889 [1840]). From these texts various writing formats, guidelines, and goals for an orthographic norm are analyzed, be they for the written expression of the speakers or for useful instruments in the transliteration of ethnotexts within the ALMA-H project (Linguistic- Contactual Atlas of the German Minorities in the La Plata Basin: Hunsrückisch), with which ESCRITHU collaborates.
This paper aims to contribute to the rich discussion that has been developed in this journal throughout previous editions. Many authors have already written here about their considerations and praxis regarding bilingualism, bilingual contexts and bilingual education from different perspectives. Thus, this paper also brings to discussion aspects of the education in bilingual settings in Brazil, where people speak Portuguese and a variety of German basis called Hunsrückisch as their mother tongue. Moreover, this paper aims to be an account of results from different researches, which deal with the advantages of speaking dialect to learn standard German and the prejudices, learners coming from minority languages confront.
Das Pommerische in Espírito Santo : Ergebnisse und Perspektiven einer soziolinguistischen Studie
(2011)
Der vorliegende Artikel behandelt Aspekte des Spracherhalts und Maßnahmen für die Sprachrevitalisierung des Pommerischen im brasilianischen Bundesstaat Espírito Santo. Die vorgestellten Daten basieren auf der soziolinguistischen Studie von Höhmann (2011). Nach der Einleitung, in der ein Überblick über die Forschungslage und die soziodemographischen Daten der untersuchten Sprachgemeinschaft gegeben wird, werden quantitative Daten zur Sprachpräferenz und zur intergenerationalen Sprachtransmission aus der Studie vorgestellt. Desweiteren werden die Verwendung der Minderheitensprache im Schulunterricht und daraus resultierende Forschungsdesiderate dargelegt. Es wird auf das pommerische Sprachrevitalisierungsprojekt PROEPO und auf Aspekte der Standardisierungsmaßnahmen der Minderheitensprache eingegangen. Abschließend werden Perspektiven für den Spracherhalt erörtert.
