Greining á málfræðilegum afleiðingum stafræns málsambýlis - verkefni lokið

Fréttatilkynning verkefnisstjóra

14.9.2020

Afurðir verkefnisins eru 10 útgefnar greinar, 95 erindi og veggspjöld, 8 meistararitgerðir, 4 BA-ritgerðir, og tvær óprentaðar skýrslur. Tvær doktorsritgerðir eru á leiðinni, auk allnokkurra greina í tímaritum og ráðstefnuritum.

Upplýsingum var safnað um (1) umfang þess máláreitis sem málnotendur fá, bæði á íslensku og ensku; (2) viðhorf málnotenda til beggja tungumála; (3) orðaforða málnotenda á íslensku og ensku; (4) kunnáttu málnotenda í og málnotkun þeirra á bæði íslensku og ensku. Þessum upplýsingum var aðallega safnað með netkönnun sem send var til handahófsvalins úrtaks 5.000 málnotenda á aldrinum 3-98 ára, skipt í 11 aldurshópa, og með djúpviðtölum við 240 málnotendur valda eftir sérstökum viðmiðum úr hópi þátttakenda í netkönnuninni. Að auki voru tekin viðtöl við allmarga kennara og nokkra rýnihópa.

Niðurstöðurnar sýna glöggt að umhverfi íslenskunnar tekur örum breytingum. Íslendingar fá umtalsvert máláreiti á ensku, einkum börn og unglingar. Íslensk börn hefja snjalltækjanotkun mun yngri en var fyrir fáeinum árum. Viðhorf málnotenda gagnvart bæði íslensku og ensku eru yfirleitt jákvæð, en viðhorf yngra fólks gagnvart íslensku eru þó ekki eins jákvæð og viðhorf eldri aldurshópa. Í huga 13-16 ára unglinga virðist enska ekki síst tengjast afþreyingu og ferðalögum til útlanda en íslensku tengja unglingarnir einkum við skólaverkefni og umræðu um „rétt“ mál og „rangt“.

Niðurstöðurnar sýna enn fremur að hið nána samband milli íslensku og ensku sem hefur þróast á síðustu árum hefur haft þau áhrif að íslensk börn eru orðin færari í ensku, og mikil enska í málumhverfi þeirra ásamt almennum áhuga á ensku veldur því að enskur orðaforði þeirra er meiri og enskunotkun þeirra fylgir hefðbundnum normum betur en hjá þeim sem hafa minni ensku í málumhverfinu. Sum af yngstu börnunum tala ensku án nokkurs íslensks hreims. Hin nánu tengsl við ensku virðast þó ekki hafa veruleg áhrif á íslenska málkunnáttu og málnotkun barna enn sem komið er. Vísbendingar eru um að mjög mikil enska í umhverfinu geti hraðað málbreytingum sem þegar eru í gangi í íslensku, en við höfum ekki fundið nein skýr dæmi um nýjar málbreytingar sem rekja megi til enskra áhrifa. Það er þó ljóst að ýmsar enskar formgerðir og orðasambönd eru að laumast inn í íslensku.

Í stuttu máli má segja að niðurstöður okkar bendi til að íslenska standi enn sterkt, og málkerfið sýni engin umtalsverð merki um veiklun. En umfang ensku í málsamfélaginu hefur vaxið umtalsvert á síðustu árum og greina má ýmis merki um ensk áhrif bæði í orðaforða og setningagerð, einkum í máli barna og unglinga.

 

English:

The research project “Modeling the Linguistic Consequences of Digital Language Contact” received a Grant of Excellence from the IRF in 2016. The main goal of the project was to map and analyze the status of the Icelandic language in times of radical societal and technological changes, with special consideration to English influence, especially through digital media. The output of the project consists of 10 published papers, 95 talks and posters, 8 Master's theses, 4 Bachelor's theses, and two unpublished reports. Two doctoral dissertations are underway, and also a number of articles in journals and conference proceedings.

We collected information on (1) the amount of language input speakers receive, both in Icelandic and English; (2) speakers‘ attitudes towards both languages; (3) speakers‘ Icelandic and English vocabulary; (4) speakers‘ knowledge and use of both Icelandic and English. This information was mainly collected through an online survey sent to 5,000 randomly selected speakers from 3-98 years old, divided into 11 age groups, and by in-depth interviews with 240 speakers selected by special criteria from participants in the online survey. Furthermore, a number of teachers and a few focus groups were interviewed.

The results clearly demonstrate that the environment of Icelandic is changing rapidly. Icelanders, especially children and youngsters, receive a considerable amount of English input. Icelandic children start using smartphones and computers at a much younger age now than just a few years ago. Speaker‘s attitudes towards Icelandic and English are usually positive. However, younger people‘s attitudes towards Icelandic are less positive than the attitudes of the older age groups. In the minds of 13-16 years old teenagers, English seems to be connected to entertainment and travels abroad whereas Icelandic is connected to school assignments and “correct” language usage.

The results also show that the close contact between Icelandic and English that has developed in the past few years has had the effects that Icelandic children are becoming more fluent in English, and a great amount of English in their linguistic environment and general interest in English leads to a greater English vocabulary and better adherence to English linguistic norms. Some of the youngest children also speak English without any Icelandic accent. However, the close contact with English does not seem to have had considerable effects on children‘s knowledge of Icelandic so far. There is some evidence that excessive exposure to English can accelerate linguistic changes that are already ongoing in Icelandic, but we have not found clear evidence for new linguistic changes initiated by English influence. However, it is clear that several English constructions and phrases are sneaking into Icelandic.

In short, we can say that our results indicate that the status of Icelandic is still strong, and the linguistic system does not show any significant indications of weakening. However, the amount of English in the linguistic community has increased considerably in the past few years and a number of sporadic signs of English influence can be spotted in both vocabulary and syntax, especially in the language of children and youngsters.

Application of the results

The main motivation for the project was theoretical. Its results have a great theoretical value both for linguists and sociolinguists, and both for the Icelandic language and the Icelandic language community, and more generally, especially for small language communities. The project participants will continue to analyse and interpret the data that have been collected and write research paper based on them. We also plan to make the bulk of our data publicly available in the future through the CLARIN-IS repository (https://repository.clarin.is/repository/).

In addition, our results also have considerable practical value and we foresee that they will be applied for several purposes in the future. The Minister of Education, Science and Culture, The Directorate of Education, and the Association of Icelandic Teachers have shown great interest in our results and will no doubt make use of them in their policy making in the future. Furthermore, our results are valuable for those who are responsible for the cultivation of the Icelandic language, such as the Icelandic Language Council.
