Question
Like AAVE, this accent often lacks inversion during first and second person questions. For 10 points each:
[10h] Identify this American variable rhotic accent characterized by dentalization of ‘t’s,’ ‘n’s,’ and ‘d’s,’ a reduction of voiceless ‘th’s’ to ‘t’s,’ and a unique usage of the light ‘l’ at the beginning of syllables.
ANSWER: New York Latino English [accept East Coast Latino English; accept New York Puerto Rican English; accept Nuyorican English; accept descriptions of Latino English in New York; prompt on Puerto Rican English; reject “Spanglish” or “Broken English”]
[10e] Because New York Latino English is a native dialect, it is distinctly different from this creole with a portmanteau often used by Chicano immigrants who have recently arrived in America.
ANSWER: Spanglish [accept Espanglish; accept Ingléspañol; accept Inglañol; accept Spenglish; accept Spinglish]
[10m] The effect of Spanish on American accents is seen in Miami English, which is characterized by extensive use of these phrases like “get down from the car.” Unlike loanwords, these phrases are direct translations from the source to target language.
ANSWER: calques [prompt on loan translations]
