This Volume Presents The First Major Study Of Texas German As Spoken In The Twentyfirst Century, Focusing On Its Formation And The Linguistic Changes It Has Undergone. This New World Dialect, Formed More Than 150 Years Ago In German Communities In Central Texas, Is An Unusual Example Of A Formerly Highstatus Dialect That Declined For Sociopolitical Reasons. An Important Case Study For Dialect Research, Texas German Is Now Critically Endangered And Will Probably Be Extinct By 2050.By Comparing And Contrasting Presentday Data With Data From The German Dialects Brought To Texas Since The 1840S, The Volume Offers An Indepth Analysis Of Mutual Interaction Between The Germanspeaking Community And Englishspeaking Texans, Longterm Accommodation Of Texas German Speakers In This New Community, And Language Hybridization On The Texas Frontier. The Volume Also Analyzes A Number Of Phonological, Syntactic, And Morphological Changes In Texas German Over The Past Century And Examines Sociolinguistic Aspects Of The Texas German Community From Its Foundation To Today, Providing Insight Into The Dynamics Underlying Newdialect Formation, Diglossia, Language Shift, Language Maintenance, And Language Death. Finally, The Volume Investigates The Rapid Disappearance Of Languages, Which Has Global Social And Cultural Implications For Areas Beyond Linguistics.
