ABSTRACT This papers examines how the word Buserant ‘gay’ spread in the languages of the Danube region. Further, it hypothesises in what contact situations borrowing occurred. In this, it presents a case study illustrating lexical borrowing in the proposed Danubian Sprachbund. According to the study’s findings Italian road workers introduced Buserant in Viennese German from where it spread through army service and/or travellers in taverns of Austria Hungary. The borrowing appears to be restricted to the languages of Austria-Hungary and excludes Yiddish, which can be explained by the relative isolation of Yiddish-speaking communities by the mid-nineteenth century.

同性恋轻骑兵：Buserant 在多瑙河地区的起源和传播

摘要 本文考察了 Buserant 'gay' 这个词是如何在多瑙河地区的语言中传播的。此外，它假设在什么接触情况下发生了借用。在此，它提供了一个案例研究，说明了拟议的多瑙语语汇中的词汇借用。根据这项研究的结果，意大利道路工人用维也纳德语介绍了 Buserant，它从那里通过军队服务和/或奥地利匈牙利小酒馆的旅行者传播。借用似乎仅限于奥匈帝国的语言，不包括意第绪语，这可以通过 19 世纪中叶意第绪语社区的相对孤立来解释。
