Abstract:
International audience ; Numerous studies on language contact document the use of content words and especiallynouns in most contact settings, but the correlations are often based on qualitativeor questionnaire-based research. The present study of borrowing is based on theanalysis of free-speech corpora from four Slavic minority languages spoken in Austria,Germany, Greece, and Italy. The analysis of the data, totalling 34,000 word tokens,shows that speakers from Italy produced significantly more borrowings and noun borrowingsthan speakers from the other three countries. A Random Forests analysis identifies‘language’ as the main predictor for the ratio of both borrowings and nounborrowings, indicating the existence of borrowing patterns that individual speakersconform to. Finally, we suggest that the patterns of borrowing that prevail in the communitiesunder study relate to the intensity of contact in the past, and to the presenceor absence of literary traditions for the minority languages.
