This paper explores patterns in the integration of Hungarian and Romanian nouns as well as adjectives in the German dialect of the speech community of Palota, a German Sprachinsel in North-West-Romania. The main focus of the study is on both inflectional and derivational noun and adjective morphologies and on how they behave in the case of some more or less distantly related contact languages. Based on a select number of examples from first hand data and following standard code-mixing models such as that of Muysken (2000) and Myers-Scotton’s (1993, 2002) MLF model, it establishes a typology of code-mixing morphology ranging from more matrix language-like, i.e. German-like to more embedded language-like, i.e. Hungarian- and Romanian-like patterns and bare forms, suggesting an ongoing shifting process in the local German dialect of Palota towards a fused lect (Auer 1998). In terms of linguistic complexity, the present paper argues that this language shift process favour simplification of morphology in some domains, but also complexification in some other domains, supporting the idea that languages in long-term intensive contact settings become linguistically more complex (Trudgill, 2010, 2011; Fenyvesi, 2005; de Groot, 2005, 2008).

在简化和复杂化之间。接触的德语、匈牙利语、罗马尼亚语名词和形容词形态

本文探讨了匈牙利语和罗马尼亚语名词以及形容词在 Palota 语言社区(位于罗马尼亚西北部的德语 Sprachinsel)的德语方言中的整合模式。该研究的主要重点是屈折和派生名词和形容词的形态以及它们在一些或多或少相关的接触语言中的表现。基于来自第一手数据的精选示例,并遵循 Muysken (2000) 和 Myers-Scotton (1993, 2002) MLF 模型等标准代码混合模型,它建立了代码混合形态的类型学,范围从更多矩阵语言类,即德语类到更嵌入式语言类,即匈牙利语和罗马尼亚语类的模式和裸露的形式,表明帕洛塔当地德语方言正在向融合方言转变(Auer 1998)。在语言复杂性方面,本文认为这种语言转换过程有利于某些领域的形态简化,但也有利于其他某些领域的复杂化,支持长期密集接触环境中的语言在语言上变得更加复杂的观点(Trudgill, 2010, 2011; Fenyvesi, 2005; de Groot, 2005, 2008)。
