#interlanguage
So interesting. 📌

Because each person learning a new language creates their own unique "interlanguage", a linguistic system that assists in second language acquisition.

Ideally "translanguaging" (ability to move fluidly between languages) grows too.

All I'll say is: higher prestige registers borrowing from lower prestige dialects and registers and cross borrowing of features and vocabulary between registers, dialects and languages is a phenomenon as old as interlanguage contact itself and does not have some kind of intrinsic moral value

Lo cachondo es que da igual desde que idioma partas en la adquisición del nuevo, todos los aprendices se pueden comunicar en “interlanguage” dependiendo solo de a qué nivel están. A mi es un concepto que me flipa

En La carrera aprendimos el concepto de “interlanguage”, que es como hablan los aprendices de un lenguaje mientras lo adquieren. No acababa de pillarle el rollo hasta que vi a un marroquí hablando con una china en el bar de bajo de mi casa en “español” 😁

Last night, my father, Larry Selinker, passed away unexpectedly at age 87. He was on the Mount Rushmore of applied linguistics, having altered the entire field with his landmark "Interlanguage" paper in 1972. His 1994 book with Sue Gass, "Second Language Acquisition," is still taught today. (1/X)

I was too busy vibing to some Cuarteto de Nos and fully missed my exit on the interlanguage. I had to ask my dad something and went "¿Qué লাগেন?".

I'm translating this into English since this also works for the English UTAU wiki:

If your UTAU has a page in the Spanish, Korean, Polish, or/and Russian UTAU wiki, you can add an interlanguage link to it now!
¡Los enlaces interlingüisticos ya están disponibles en la UTAU Wiki en español!

Ahora las páginas pueden ser enlazadas a sus versiones de las UTAU wikis en otros idiomas.
¡Y funciona en ambos sentidos!

Aquí un ejemplo con la página de Koru en la wiki en español y la de inglés:

Number 9: “Afrihili: An African Interlanguage" by William S. Annis. You may have heard of Esperanto, but may not have heard of Afrihili: an attempt to create an #auxlang for Africa. This language is PHENOMENAL but might have been forgotten without this article. #conlang

The new wiki is already partnered with the French wiki for interlanguage links, but... we'd also like to announce a Spanish independent wiki, forked from FANDOM at the same time!

didn't spend almost two years keeping the spanish h!p wiki up to date just for fandom to say interlanguage wikis are better off being translated by ai, hope the whole place goes bankrupt and shuts down

Thanks for the work you're doing. Wook often also makes my work easier, especially when there are interlanguage links.

Happy birthday from the English NW! May interlanguage links continue to bind us closer in the future!

I don’t think we’ve ever counted our birthdays, we’ve been around since before the show lol

We're posting our 10 most downloaded papers to date. At number 10 is Jiajin Xu and Zhaoxia Liu - The ordering of relative clauses and determiner phrases in Chinese interlanguage: a multifactorial study. www.euppublishing.com/doi/full/10....
The ordering of relative clauses and determiner phrases in Chinese interlanguage: a multifactorial study | Corpora
In English, a relative clause (rc) follows the head noun phrase (np). Conversely, the rc in Chinese precedes the head np directly before it or is separated by a determiner phrase (dp). This is uncommo...

I think the mix might be consistent with someone compiling from a number of different glossaries, but why the transliterated Turkish? Could also reflect oral transmission, where Italian sometimes functioned as an interlanguage.

A bit late to this. Selinker’s interlanguage concept is interesting, but I’m not sure how it helps teachers, beyond reminding us that acquisition is evolving and errors and difficulty communicating are inevitable and fine.

Maybe we teachers are fostering this attitude without realising when we do retrieval practise? I like explaining to students why we do what we do in lessons, and I have explained the concept of interlanguage. Y7 are probably too young to get it, so I mention my foreign accent and little more.

Yes, English rather than Esperanto is the true interlanguage to bring about world peace (he said, to relate to an earlier post of yours here).
