Section 4.
2
You will hear part of a linguistics lecture about a language called Bishlama that is spoken in the Pacific Islands.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on page 7.
4
Thank you.
5
Now, listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
Good morning and welcome back to this series of linguistics lectures.
7
Today, I will be talking about the language Bishlama, which is a form of pidgin English.
8
Linguists use the term pidgin to describe new languages that are created by combining two or more existing languages, often in a simplified form.
9
The study of pidgin languages is important because it provides us with information about language change and modification.
10
The pidgin English known as Bishlama is used in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu,
11
a group of islands where 81 first languages are still regularly used by the local people.
12
There are a further 17 local languages that are in danger of dying out and 8 that have been identified as extinct.
13
This gives a total of 106 first languages in all, a very high number for a small country with a population of just 200 ,000 people.
14
Then thinking about foreign languages, English is the most important and has official status largely because it is the medium for all education purposes.
15
However, it is Bishlama that is the most widely spoken language in the country, used regularly by more than 90 % of the population.
16
We should note here that in earlier times some people had negative feelings towards the language.
17
In fact, for many years it was commonly referred to as a broken language and its use was discouraged.
18
But attitudes have changed dramatically and today the people of Vanuatu are very proud of this unique language.
19
It is only when we understand the historical context that we can comprehend just why Bishlama developed in Vanuatu.
20
The first form of Pidgin English in this region can be traced to around 1800
21
when foreign traders arrived and local people were recruited to work as sailors.
22
On board multilingual ships there was an obvious need for a common tongue and Pidgin English was born.
23
This early form of Bishlama continued to spread as trade in the Pacific developed in sandalwood and other local commodities.
24
Then, from about 1860, a lot of people from Vanuatu travelled to Australia to work on the new plantations as labourers.
25
Again, because of the multilingual nature of these workplaces, it was very important to have a common language.
26
Finally, in modern times, there have been other pressures that have maintained the need for a common language.
27
Like many other parts of the world, from about the 1950s, Vanuatu experienced a significant migration of its people from small villages into the city
28
and it has been here that Bishlama has really established itself as the country's first language.
29
So then, how can we describe the language itself?
30
In general terms, pidgin languages can be defined as extremely simple versions of the original language.
31
However, this is not a satisfactory definition in this case
32
and linguists prefer to describe Bishlama as a developed pigeon
33
because it has more rules and ideas than most simple pigeon languages found in other parts of the world.
34
Let's think first about the vocabulary.
35
Because Britain was the colonial power, the majority of Bishlama's vocabulary is derived from English.
36
However, some care needs to be taken here.
37
For example, the word from in Bishlama can also mean because of,
38
so we need to be aware that words can have a wider range of meanings in Bishlama.
39
Indeed, there are numerous other potentially misleading terms, and English is not the only contributor to the vocabulary.
40
Again, because of the region's history there are some words, around 5 -10%, that are derived from French.
41
Then, a relatively small number of words have been taken from local, Pacific languages.
42
Usually this is the case where there is no English equivalent for naturally occurring phenomena
43
or to describe some aspect of the culture that is unique to the country.
44
Finally, a word about grammar.
45
Although the vocabulary is based largely on English,
46
it's important to note that the grammatical structure of Bishlama is derived from patterns common in the local languages of Vanuatu.
47
So, for example, there are two distinct pronouns meaning we.
48
One means I and you, and another means I and some others, but not you.
49
Sounds confusing in English, but in the local languages such distinctions are common.
50
A different example concerns the word long.
51
It is almost the only preposition in Bishlama
52
and may be used in place of a whole range of English words such as at, to, with, on, in, and so on.
53
Well, that is the end of the formal part of the lecture.
54
If you have any questions now, I'll be most happy to...
55
That is the end of Section 4.
56
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
57
That is the end of the listening test.
58
You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.
59
Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
