Das bresilionische Deitsch unn die deitsche Bresilioner : en Hunsrickisch Red fo die Sprocherechte
(2006)
This paper is a contribution of the area of linguistic policies to the discussion of linguistic rights of speakers of minority languages in Brazil. The text, bilingual in Portuguese and Hunsrückisch, one of the varieties of German immigration languages spoken in Brazil, was presented by the authors (as native speakers and translators), in the Legislative Seminar on Creation of the Book of Language Registers, organized by the Institute of National Artistic Heritage (IPHAN), Institute of Investigation and Development in Linguistic Policies (IPOL) and Education and Culture Committee of the Chamber of Representatives, in Brasília, on March 2006. The idea of the Book of Languages contributes to the recognition of Brazilian linguistic diversity, represented by approximately 210 languages, from which 180 are autochthonous (indigenous) and around 30 are allochthonous (of immigration). Its recognition as an immaterial (virtual) cultural heritage is seem as an important act in favor of speakers’ linguistic rights and against linguistic prejudice that comes along with the use of minority languages in contact with the Portuguese language. This work is inserted in this perspective and it comes along with a supportive bibliography and a map of bilingual areas in the south of Brazil.
For the most part, in linguistic policies, which mainly manifest themselves in educational measures, substandard varieties are at best ignored, if not actively suppressed. This often deprives pupils in immigrant situations and coming from a dialect background not only of their right to speaking their own language but also from the opportunity of aquiring the related standard, benefiting from early bilingual education. Instead, the national language is often used as the only language of instruction and is therefore likely to outdominate any other variety. This paper analyses two immigrant groups on the American continent which both represent diglossic communities in which High German as the High Variety has been lost or replaced by the national language while the related dialect is continuously used for in-group communication. Despite structural similarities in the sociolinguistic makeup of the two speech communities, there have been different approaches towards the teaching of standard German. The paper shows that language attitudes toward the substandard play a decisive role in these approaches. It is argued that instead of seeing the dialect as an obstacle for aquiring the standard variety it ought to be viewed as a suitable starting point to learning High German. Far from being an out-fashioned relic, dialects in immigrant communities should be conceived of as vantage ground for building multilingual societies which include the own vernacular as an element of identity, the related standard as a means of international communication and, of course, the national standard as an instrument of integration.
One of the most striking moments in the life of Brazilian children speaking a minority language happens when they go to elementary school. There, the attitude towards the family language is completely indifferent, if not openly hostile, since the school sees its duty limited to alphabetising the child in the official language, which is Portuguese. This article reflects on practical strategies for teaching school children speaking immigrant languages, focussing on the different meaning of alphabetisation in minority language contexts and on the advantages of early bilingualism, ascertained by research in cognitive science (cf. Bialystok 2005). Immigrant contexts of this nature are being studied in the linguistic atlas project ALMA-H (Atlas Linguístico-Contatual das Minorias Alemãs na Bacia do Prata - Hunsrückisch). Based on data from this project and considering the Brazilian educational context the article proposes strategies that could help to improve the alphabetisation process of those groups by reconciling the dissociation that separates school contexts from family contexts in areas of collective bilingualism in Brazil.
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.
Die linguistic landscapes als alltägliches Phänomen vermitteln neben der unmittelbaren Konfrontation mit der gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit auch Einblicke in die spezifischen, kulturell vorstrukturierten Kommunikationssituationen, die auch für den Fremdsprachenunterricht interessante Impulse bieten können. Der Beitrag befasst sich mit den linguistic landscapes als wissenschaftlichem Paradigma in seinen verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf das aktuelle Paradigma gelegt, das auch für das Forschungsfeld des Fremdsprachenlernens und -lehrens eine erweiterte empirische Basis schafft. Im Anschluss daran wird das sprachdidaktische Potential von Sprachlandschaften fokussiert, indem auf die sprachliche Vielfalt eingegangen wird, die in der Stadt Brünn überall im öffentlichen Raum feststellbar ist. Das Projekt "Linguistic landscapes von Brünn (Brno)" spiegelt nicht nur die Sprachkontakte und die Sprachenpolitik in diesem Raum wider, sondern macht auch die hier ablaufenden Kulturkontakte transparent und zeigt, wie der öffentliche Raum als Diskursplattform genutzt wird.
Her ne kadar Almanya politikası çeşitli fikirlerde de olsa; Almanya, tarihinde her zaman göç alan bir devlet olmuştur ve göçmenlere Almanca öğretimi konusunda oldukça köklü bir geçmişe, engin tecrübelere sahiptir. 60'lı yılların başlangıcında göçmenlere dil öğretimini gerekli görmeyen bu ülke 'dilsizliğin' getirdiği sosyal, siyasal ve ekonomik sorunlar sonrasında başarılı bir entegrasyon süreci için göçmenlere Alman dilinin öğretilmesinin gerekliliğini anlamış ve bu konuda çeşitli modeller denemiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı; Almancanın ikinci dil olarak öğretimi alanındaki kuram ve modellerin, Türkçenin ikinci dil olarak öğretimine uyarlanabilirliğini göstermek ve Almanya'nın bu alandaki tecrübelerinden ikinci dil olarak Türkçe öğretimi alanında yararlanmaktır. Bu nedenle öncelikle 'yabancı dil' ve 'ikinci dil' kavramlarını birbirinden ayıran faktörler üzerinde durulacak ve böylece 'ikinci dil olarak Türkçe' kuramı incelenecektir. Sonrasında yine ikinci dil olarak Almanca öğretimi alanından çeşitli göçmen öğrenci tipleri ve bunlara Almanca öğretimi modelleri ortaya konacak, 'ikinci dil olarak Türkçe' kuramında karşılaşılacak öğrenci kavramının çeşitliliği değerlendirilecektir. Bu noktada okul çağında olan, okullara yatay geçiş yapması gereken ancak henüz Latin alfabesini bilmeyen, kurum olarak 'okul' kavramıyla hiç tanışmamış ve güncel Türkçenin dışında eğitim Türkçesi öğrenmesi gereken gençler üzerinde durulacaktır; çünkü toplumun birliği, bütünlüğü ve geleceği açısından özellikle bu gençlerin kazanılması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Aynı şekilde yetişkinlere Almanca öğretme modelleri tanıtılacak ve bu deneyimlerden 'ikinci dil olarak Türkçe' kuramı ve entegrasyon sürecinde nasıl yararlanılabileceği tartışılacaktır.
Este artigo aborda parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa mais abrangente que objetivou compreender (inter)relações que se estabelecem entre práticas de leitura e escrita em alemão e em português de crianças do Ensino Fundamental e o contexto de língua de herança em que estão inseridas. Quanto à dimensão teórica, o estudo filia-se à área da Linguística Aplicada em diálogo com a Educação em contextos interculturais. A pesquisa, de base qualitativo-interpretativista, teve como locus uma escola municipal, em zona rural do município de Blumenau, Santa Catarina. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, foram utilizadas duas propostas de produção de narrativas escritas, uma em português e outra em alemão. Os resultados sugerem que (i) as crianças têm domínio restrito de uma estrutura narrativa e aplicam-na parcialmente nas produções em ambas as línguas; (ii) o vocabulário e as estruturas gramaticais são característicos das práticas linguageiras cotidianas; iii) os estudantes desconhecem ou não internalizaram regras ortográficas, especialmente da língua alemã. A partir dos resultados da pesquisa afirma-se a importância de se garantir, na educação formal, o aprendizado da língua de herança, ao lado do português, em contextos bi/multilíngues similares.
