Valopronominal/Alter-Language Pronouns

Valopronominal, also called alterlanguage pronouns (alterlingual), interlinguistic non-conformity (interlingual), cross-language grammatical other gender, or multi-linguistic gender disconnect, is when someone will change their pronouns in conjunction to their language or use different grammatical genders across languages. For example, using ella/la (feminine pronoun) in Spanish and they/them in English; using Arabic neopronouns [such as زي (ze/zie/xe/sie), كو (co), إي (ey)] and on (he) in Polish/Croatian.

Sources: [link 1]; [link 2]. Pride flag by IIAprionII (wiki user). Not to be confused with alterpronominal, interpronominal (intersex pronouns), varipronominal, crosspronominal, pronounfluid, or multipronominal.

It's not commented in the sources. It seems that interlanguage nonconforming is inherently a term subset of PNC (pronoun nonconformity, or language non-conforming - LNC), while alter language pronouns or crosslanguage grammatical gender is a descriptor referring to a situation or experiences that are not necessarily desired or voluntary, such as multilingual people who speak a genderless language and a gendered language, for example.

Disclaimers: using neopronouns are in most cases inherently inter-language nonconforming, once most of the time they are untranslatable (eg. thon/thons from Romanian/English to Spanish). There are few exceptions though, such as (s)he or s/he (English) versus el·la [el/la, Spanish] versus el(a) [Galician] versus el@/êla/éle/elæ (Portuguese)/⠑⠇⠱/⠣⠇⠁/⠿⠇⠑ (Braille); inanimates such as ono (Polish/Croatian)/оно (Russian/Serbian)/воно (Ukrainian) versus it (in English) versus ello (Spanish) versus ilo/elo (Portuguese) versus det (Danish/Swedish/Norwegian) versus illud (Latin); elx (Portuguese/Romanian) versus ellx (Spanish/Catalan); and Arabic زي versus English ze (though it's inconsistent since it can be transliterated or respelled the same as zie/xe). Despite debatable whether it/its is a neopronoun in English, ilo and elo are certainly neopronouns in Portuguese. For singular they versus epicene neopronouns interlingually, such as elle (Spanish), iel (French), onu/они (Polish/Russian), dey (German), I'm not sure. It's also not said if it includes using only he/him or only she/her in English versus languages with genderless pronouns (such as Basque, Hungarian, Turkish, Guarani, Bantu, Persian, Cebuano, Finnish), or specific cases such as Chinese, Cherokee, Korean, Japanese, or SignWriting (sign language writing).

i love how interlanguage works and manifests

i just find it really hilarious

for example, i started learning ukrainian recently

before that, i only spoke german as native language, english as most used language, and french occasionally/rarely

the german word for cat is Katze, the english one cat, the french one chat, and the ukrainian one кіт

any time i saw a cat before i started learning ukrainian, i'd go and say 'cat' but not in the english pronunciation, but in the german one (so more like cut)

now whenever i see a cat i immediately go 'kitty'

because the last time i used the word 'cat' in any language, it was while learning ukrainian so кіт, and then my brain goes to the first кіт-word it can find in english cause im thinking in english

so: kitty

INTERLANGUAGE

Interlanguage (/ˈɪn.təˌlæŋ.ɡwɪdʒ/) bridges native and target languages during second language learning. It evolves, shaped by L1 influence, revealing errors, strategies, and patterns crucial for SLA research and teaching.

IPA: /ˈɪn.təˌlæŋ.ɡwɪdʒ/ Definition: Interlanguage refers to a linguistic system that develops when a person is learning a second language (L2). It combines elements from the learner’s native language (L1) and the target language, often containing unique rules and forms that do not belong fully to either language. This system evolves as the learner progresses, gradually approximating the target…

Language Errors in Campus Journalists' News Articles Its Implication to Writers' Interlanguage

This study aimed to reveal the linguistic errors student-writers committed in their news articles. It specifically endeavored to identify and classify the common graphological, lexico-semantic, and grammatical errors in the news articles. The frequency of these errors and the news writers' error-density index were also determined. In this study, one hundred eighteen news articles of high school journalists were evaluated using the descriptive method via corpus analysis. Errors were categorized using Corder's linguistic levels and were further analyzed using Ferris' model of common writing errors. The study revealed that the most prevalent error among news writers is on the grammatical level with the improper use of verb tenses as the most recurrent error followed by capitalization and word choice. Furthermore, the overall error-density index of all news articles computed at 74 is deemed 'very problematic' which led to the conclusion that the campus journalists are struggling in the correct application of linguistic rules which affect the content of their news and which may threaten the effective delivery of campus journalism.

Interlanguage

Selinker (1969, 1972) coined the term ‘interlanguage’ to refer to the special mental grammars that learners construct during the course of their development. Interlanguage theory credited learners with playing an active role in constructing mental grammars.

Second language learners tend to go through a systematic or quasi-systematic developmental process as they…

Friendly reminder that people learning second languages tend to make more mistakes once they’ve learned the basic grammatical rules of said languages and try to apply them when speaking/writing. I.e. conjugating irregular verbs wrong because they’ve learned how to conjugate regular verbs. This is completely normal and actually shows that the speaker is gaining a deeper understanding of the language. Don’t beat yourself up if you tell someone that you “readed the newspaper” or whatever. Don’t bully people for making this kind of mistakes.

Week 3: Interlanguage, sequence of development, and cross-linguistic influence

The first thing I found interesting about this week’s reading was the concept of interlanguage and how we can create something like our own language based on our knowledge of our L1 and L2.  I also liked how Selinder pointed out that language learning is not always progressing and sometimes we reach a plateau before we gain further progress.  When learning a second language, have you experienced a time when you feel as if you haven’t improved for a long time? And if you got over this, what triggered your new burst of learning?

I also thought it was interesting that even in second language learners there is a sequence of development.  I thought this would only be true for first language learners because they lack cognitive development and experiences.  This is related to a previous post, but when thinking about learning language, almost like babies, we sometimes develop a new way of thinking to allow our L2 to make sense.  I think some things cannot be translated through the eyes of another language.  naokon12 brings up a good question about language influencing ones thoughts and I think that it definitely does.  When learning a new language I believe we are also learning the culture imbedded in that language. In my sociolinguistics class, the teacher mentioned a quote “Another language, another soul”. When learning a new language it is almost as if gaining a new identity, in that the way you express yourself may change depending on the culture and way of speaking in your target language. 

Finally, I thought the concept of cross-linguistic influence was interesting because from my understanding of this, L1 does not only affect L2, but it also works the other way around.  For example when I was learning Japanese there was a huge stress on aizuchi or fillers when talking or listening to others.  So I feel that since it was taught to be so important I sometimes use it even in English.  So my question is if you have experienced cross-linguistic influence that affected your L1, and if Japanese is your native language, are you taught not to use aizuchi when speaking in English?
