Languages in contact: European Portuguese meets Austrian German

European Portuguese meets Austrian German

Authors

Abstract

Migrant communities are the perfect stage to observe languages in contact. Austria has a small and recent Portuguese community and this fact allowed us to analyze the behavior of European Portuguese in a German spea- king context. Interferences are likely to happen, but are the speakers aware of these? Do they really command their languages separately? What are the stra-tegies they refer to? These and other answers can be found with the present investigation.
