The present study is an in-depth investigation of the Greek language spoken by immigrants in Far North Queensland, Australia. The study focuses on contact-induced changes in the language, such as borrowing of lexemes and discourse patterns, and on code switching. The data analyzed derive from participant observation and some 23 hours of audio and video-recorded conversations with first- and second-generation Greek immigrants that were collected during fieldwork in 2013 in Far North Queensland. The study contributes to the investigation of the structure and use of Greek in the diaspora by integrating perspectives from contact linguistics and interactional approaches to code switching.

语言联系、借用和代码切换

本研究是对澳大利亚远北昆士兰移民所讲希腊语的深入调查。该研究侧重于接触引起的语言变化，例如借用词位和话语模式，以及代码转换。分析的数据来自参与观察以及与第一代和第二代希腊移民进行的大约 23 小时的录音和视频对话，这些对话是 2013 年在远北昆士兰进行实地考察时收集的。该研究通过整合接触语言学的观点和代码转换的交互方法，有助于研究散居国外的希腊语的结构和使用。
