Language use and linguistic variation in multilingual speaker groups in Ngaoundéré (North-Cameroon) (II)

喀麦隆阿达马瓦地区首府恩冈代雷多语种接触情况下的语言动态项目第二阶段的重点是对该市两种主要语言--阿达马瓦-富尔德语和恩冈代雷-姆本语的变化情况进行记录和语法描述。这两种语言都不太--甚至不是标准化的--而且无处不在的语言接触情况是语言、社会文化和经济传记非常不同的说话者的日常经历。以摩托车出租车司机这一职业群体为例，将主要依靠自然语音数据，用当代社会语言学方法追踪这类说话者之间的语言互动。基于用法的方法旨在通过相互的语言干扰来描述语言变化过程的动态，并描绘通过社会网络传播创新和/或保留接触诱导的变体的过程。这项研究的两个主要目的是：a)详细描述从说话人的互动到语言变异和语言变化的相互交织的过程；b)用非音系构式语法描述言语群体特定的多语种现实。

The focus of the second phase of the project on linguistic dynamics in multilingual contact situations in the capital of the Cameroonian Adamawa region, Ngaoundéré, lies on the documentation and grammatical description of variation in the two major languages of the city, Adamawa-Fulfulde and Ngaoundéré-Mbum. Both languages are less- or even non-standardized and the ubiquitous language-contact situations are an everyday experience of speakers with highly different linguistic, socio cultural and economic biographies. On the example of the professional group of motorcycle taxi drivers the linguistic interactions between such speakers will be tracked with contemporary sociolinguistic methodology mostly relying on natural speech data. The usage-based approach sets out to describe the dynamics of language change processes through mutual linguistic interference and to picture the propagation of innovations and/or retention of contact-induced variants through social networks. The two main objectives of the research are a) a detailed description of the intertwined processes that lead from speakers' interaction to linguistic variation and language change and b) the description of the speech group’s specific multilingual reality in terms of diasystematic construction grammar.
