Sociolinguistics and immigration — language variation of Polish adolescents in Edinburgh

Abstracts

PL

W artykule omawiamy zróżnicowanie w wymowie końcówki (-ing) wśród nastolatków urodzonych w Szkocji oraz imigrantów z Polski mieszkających w Edynburgu. Rozkład wariantów wymowy morfemu pokazuje, że nastolatki polskie do pewnego stopnia przyswoiły sobie zróżnicowanie widoczne w wymowie młodzieży lokalnej. Widzimy zatem, że częstotliwość występowania wariantów in/ing może być postrzegana jako odzwierciedlenie wymowy lokalnej, jednak czynniki, które przyczyniają się do wyboru konkretnych wariantów, różnią się znacząco wśród grup.

This study analyses (in/ing) variation among migrant (Polish) and local adolescents in two British cities: Edinburgh and London. We trace the distribution of variants available and suggest that the factors contributing to the acquisition of variation (or lack of it) among migrant adolescents, depends on a numer of language-internal and language-external factors. We argue that the frequency of occurrence of a given variant among migrant adolescents can be seen as a reflection of the speech pattern of their local peers. However, the factors that contribute to the variant choice differ significantly between the groups.
