摘要 与法国其他地区语言一样，布列塔尼语也经历了急剧衰落，随后在近几十年中经历了一段复兴时期。如今，有两个基本上独立的使用者群体：一种是在家里讲布列塔尼语长大的老年传统使用者，另一种是年轻的使用者，通常来自法语家庭，其中大多数人通过浸入式教育学习了布列塔尼语。据称，这种“新布列塔尼语”在词汇、语音和语法上都不同于较老的语言。本文研究了形态句法（非人称）和形态语音（突变）数据，以准确探讨新布列塔尼语与传统说话者的差异，以及如何解释数据的变异性。数据显示，与预期相反，新的演讲者在这些领域与老的传统演讲者没有太大区别。法语的影响比想象的更微妙。接受布列塔尼语教育的儿童和青少年似乎表现出较长的习得时间，但来自成年新说话者的数据表明，只要有足够的布列塔尼语输入，这些年轻的说话者就可以达到完全熟练的程度。然而，随着年长说话者数量的减少，布列塔尼语似乎可能会看到更广泛的语言变化。
Abstract Like France’s other regional languages, Breton has seen a steep decline, followed by a period of revitalization in recent decades. Today there are two largely separate communities of speakers: older, traditional speakers who grew up speaking Breton at home, and younger speakers, generally from French-speaking homes, most of whom have learnt Breton through immersion schooling. It is claimed that this ‘Neo-Breton’ differs from the language of older speakers, lexically, phonologically and grammatically. This article examines morphosyntactic (impersonal) and morphophonological (mutation) data to explore exactly how Neo-Breton differs from that of traditional speakers, and how the variability in the data might be explained. The data show that contrary to what might be expected, new speakers do not differ greatly from older, traditional speakers in these areas. Influence from French is more subtle than might be supposed. Children and teenagers who attend Breton-medium schooling seem to show an extended period of acquisition, but the data from adult new speakers suggests that with enough Breton input, these young speakers can reach full proficiency. However, as the number of older speakers decreases, Breton seems likely to see more widespread language change.
