| aruba official languages dutch: Heritage Languages Suzanne Aalberse, Ad Backus, Pieter Muysken, 2019-11-28 Heritage languages, such as the Turkish varieties spoken in Berlin or the Spanish used in Los Angeles, are non-dominant languages, often with little prestige. Their speakers also speak the dominant language of the country they live in. Often heritage languages undergo changes due to their special status. They have received a lot of scholarly attention and provide a link between academic concerns and educational issues. This book takes a language contact perspective: we consider heritage languages from the perspective of their history, their structural properties, and their interaction with other surrounding languages. |

| aruba official languages dutch: Rear View Mirror Prof. Balwant Sidhu Galib, 2015-06-24 Rear View Mirror (RVM) is an anthology of three generations starting in 1878 till the present. It is over 85 percent based on the true and the actual events that happened to the author. The rearview mirror of a car is hundred times smaller than the front windshield. The humans always look through RVM to glance in the past, trying to live in the times long gone, and tend to ignore the front windshield to see what is lying ahead of them. But the people who forget the past, they are condemned to repeat it. Those who do not look through the front windshield, they do not survive for long. RVM has many captivating and enchanting memories hidden behind it. It is always beneficial and valuable to observe things back into the past through the prism of life but always keep looking into the future, through the front windshield. It is good to remember the past, but dont live in it. RVM is a compendium of three generations. It starts with the Gen 3, which looks back at Gen 2 and Gen 1. Gen 1 is the story of two brothers who were conscripted by the British in India. They fought in WW1 and WW2 and then retired. Each had a son who develops into Gen 2. They struggle and enjoy their lives. Each had lost a son at prime age in Canada, one in a car accident and the other was murdered along with his wife and the unborn son when a kettle bomb exploded, sent by his own father-in-law on Christmas Eve. The Gen 3 starts with life in India, born, raised, grown, and educated there. Then in the seventies, it moves to Canada, one of the best countries of the world. The fable twists and turns, meandering like the vicissitudes of a flowing river. The tale takes the main character of Gen 3 across Canada and the America, going through various circumstances and meeting very interesting fellows. The main character had dichotomy in his mind while leaving his birth land, like millions of immigrants who leave their saddened families and go to a new land of hope. He faces hurdles and tribulations for establishing his life in the new settings. His life ends tragically while enjoying and lying in the arms of his soul mate. There are torrid physical relations between Oksana and Mall, Bhinder and Sher, Erika and Steve. The Sikh youth murders in Vancouver are touched on, in a very brief detail. |
| aruba official languages dutch: Community Based Research in Language Policy and Planning Nicholas Faraclas, Ellen-Petra Kester, Eric Mijts, 2019-07-23 This volume focuses on a case where community organizing, academic research and governmental responsibility were successfully mobilized and synchronized to bring about change in educational policy and practice. The focus of this book is the methodology implemented and the results obtained over the course of a year-long action research project on language and education in St. Eustatius, one of the islands of the Dutch Caribbean, commissioned by the educational authorities in both St. Eustatius and the European Netherlands. On the island, the language of instruction is Dutch, however, outside of the classroom most students only speak English and an English-lexifier Creole. The research project was set up to address the negative impact on school success of this disparity. It included a community-based sociolinguistic study that actively involved all of the stakeholders in the education system on the island. This was complemented by a multi-pronged set of research strategies, including a language attitude and use survey, a narrative proficiency test, in depth interviews, and a review of the relevant literature. The resulting report and recommendations were accepted by the government, which is now in the process of changing the language of instruction. |

| aruba official languages dutch: Handbook of Language and Communication: Diversity and Change Marlis Hellinger, Anne Pauwels, 2008-09-25 In line with the overall perspective of the Handbook series, the focus of Vol.9 is on language-related problems arising in the context of linguistic diversity and change, and the contributions Applied Linguistics can offer for solutions. Part I, “Language minorities and inequality,” presents situations of language contact and linguistic diversity as world-wide phenomena. The focus is on indigenous and immigrant linguistic minorities, their (lack of) access to linguistic rights through language policies and the impact on their linguistic future .Part II “Language planning and language change,” focuses on the impact of colonialism, imperialism, globalisation and economics as factors that language policies and planning measures must account for in responding to problems deriving from language contact and linguistic diversity. Part III, “Language variation and change in institutional contexts,” examines language-related problems in selected institutional areas of communication (education, the law, religion, science, the Internet) which will often derive from socioeconomic, cultural and other non-linguistic asymmetries. Part IV, “The discourse of linguistic diversity and language change,” analyses linguistic diversity, language change and language reform as issues of public debates which are informed by different ideological positions, values and attitudes (e.g. with reference to sexism, racism, and political correctness).The volume also contains extensive reference sections and index material. |

| aruba official languages dutch: Financial Investigation and Forensic Accounting George A. Manning, Ph.D, CFE, EA, 1999-06-29 Embezzlement, graft, fraud and money laundering are among the hardest crimes to prosecute. Investigation is impossible without an understanding of the law, accounting, finance, and banking procedures. Law enforcement must have the proper weapons to combat the evolving sophistication of financial crimes. Financial Investigation and Forensic Accounting offers a thorough examination of current methods and legal concerns for the detection and prosecution of economic crime. The author is an I.R.S. agent with 15 years experience in fraud investigation. The book guides law enforcement and prosecutors from detection through indictment and conviction. The author explains the mechanics of gambling, fraud and money laundering. He illustrates how prosecutors present the tax codes, off-shore banking laws, and the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) statutes to judges and juries. Financial Investigation and Forensic Accounting details the exacting legal standards for the successful execution of warrants, seizures and forfeitures. Manning's work is a guidebook for error-free prosecution. His multidisciplinary concept, integrating accounting, law enforcement, and financial savvy, is an invaluable approach to the detection and prosecution of economic crime. |

| aruba official languages dutch: Women's Lives around the World [4 volumes] Susan M. Shaw, Nancy Staton Barbour, Patti Duncan Ph.D., Kryn Freehling-Burton Ph.D., Jane Nichols, 2018-01-04 Providing an in-depth look at the lives of women and girls in approximately 150 countries, this multivolume reference set offers readers transnational and postcolonial analysis of the many issues that are critical to the success of women and girls. For millennia, women around the world have shouldered the responsibility of caring for their families. But in recent decades, women have emerged as a major part of the global workforce, balancing careers and family life. How did this change happen? And how are societies in developing countries responding and adapting to women's newer roles in society? This four-volume encyclopedia examines the lives of women around the world, with coverage that includes the education of girls and teens; the key roles women play in their families, careers, religions, and cultures; how issues for women intersect with colonialism, transnationalism, feminism, and established norms of power and control. Organized geographically, each volume presents detailed entries about the lives of women in particular countries. Additionally, each volume offers sidebars that spotlight topics related to women and girls in specific regions or focus on individual women's lives and contributions. Primary source documents include sections of countries' constitutions that are relevant to women and girls, United Nations resolutions and national resolutions regarding women and girls, and religious statements and proclamations about women and girls. The organization of the set enables readers to take an in-depth look at individual countries as well as to make comparisons across countries. |

| aruba official languages dutch: A Description of Papiamentu Yolanda Rivera Castillo, 2022-06-20 This book constitutes a primary data-supported, comprehensive grammar of Papiamentu. It analyzes spontaneous speech data from two varieties spoken in Aruba and Curaçao. The author examines structural features so far unexplored in the areas of phonology, morphology, syntax, and aspects of sentential semantics.

Researchers interested in formal analyses of Papiamentu, Creole languages, and in language contact will find this book an indispensable tool. |

| aruba official languages dutch: Aspects of (Post)Colonial Linguistics Daniel Schmidt-Brücken, Susanne Schuster, Marina Wienberg, 2016-01-15 Research in Colonial and Postcolonial Linguistics has experienced a significant increase in contributions from varying fields of language studies, gaining the attention of scholars from all over the world. This volume aims to showcase the variety of topics relevant to the study of language(s) in colonial, postcolonial and decolonial contexts. A main reason of this variety is that the new paradigm invites and necessitates research on different subject matters such as language typology, grammar and cross-linguistics, meta-linguistics and research on language ideology, discourse analysis and pragmatics. The contributions of this volume are selected, peer-reviewed papers which were partly invited and partly given at the First Bremen Conference on Colonial and Postcolonial Linguistics, held in September 2013. |

| aruba official languages dutch: Loanwords in the World's Languages Martin Haspelmath, Uri Tadmor, 2009 This landmark publication in comparative linguistics is the first comprehensive work to address the general issue of what kinds of words tend to be borrowed from other languages. The authors have assembled a unique database of over 70,000 words from 40 languages from around the world, 18,000 of which are loanwords. This database allows the authors to make empirically founded generalizations about general tendencies of word exchange among languages. --Book Jacket. |
| aruba official languages dutch: Structure and Variation in Language Contact Ana Deumert, Stephanie Durrleman-Tame, 2006-01-01 This volume presents a careful selection of fifteen articles presented at the SPCL meetings in Atlanta, Boston and Hawai'i in 2003 and 2004. The contributions reflect - from various perspectives and using different types of data - on the interplay between structure and variation in contact languages, both synchronically and diachronically. The contributors consider a wide range of languages, including Surinamese creoles, Chinook Jargon, Yiddish, AAVE, Haitian Creole, Afro-Hispanic and Afro-Portuguese varieties, Nigerian Pidgin, Sri Lankan Malay, Papiamentu, and Bahamian Creole English (Hackert). A need to question and test existing claims regarding pidginization/creolization is evident in all contributions, and the authors provide analyses for a variety of grammatical structures: VO-ordering and affixation, agglutination, negation, TMAs, plural marking, the copula, and serial verb constructions. The volume provides ample evidence for the observation that pidgin/creole studies is today a mature subfield of linguistics which is making important contributions to general linguistic theory. |
