Die Gespreksgenoot as determinant vir Namakwalandse taalvariasie
Die gespreksgenoot speel 'n dominante rol in die
kodekeuse van die Namakwalander wanneer hy homself in
multidialektiese situasies bevind, en Afrikaans die
teikentaal is. Hierdie kodekeuse reflekteer die
Namakwalander se situasie-analise van die geleentheid,
onderwerp en respektiewelike rolverwantskap ten opsigte
van die gespreksgenoot. Die spreker se morfologiese en
sintaktiese keuses word bepaal of be1nvloed deur die
aard van die informasie wat hy aan die gespreksgenoot
wil oordra. Faktore soos persoonlikheidseienskappe,
ouderdom, bekendheid, familieband~ ~oflikheid en erns
onderliggend tot taalsituasies, speel ook 'n rol by die
spreker se taalkeuse wanneer hy met 'n spesifieke gespreksgenoot wil kommunikeer. Onduidelikheid kan
tydens die kommunikasieproses ontstaan indien die
spreker en sy gespreksgenoot se taalbesit nie
ooreenstem nie. Pogings van die Namakwalander om
hierdie onduidelikhede tee te werk kan taalverskynsels
soos die aanname van taalmerkers van die
espreksgenoot, hiperkorreksie of die gebruik van
prestige-vorme tot gevolg he.
The interlocutor plays a dominant role in the choice
of codes made by the Namaqualander whenever he
finds himself in a multi-dialectical situation, and
Afrikaans being the target language. This choice
of codes reflects the situation analysis of the
Namaqualander in respect of occasion, topic and
respective role relationships. The morphological
and syntactical choices made are influenced by the
type of information he wishes to convey. Factors
such as personality traits, age, familiarity,
family ties, courtesy and seriousness underlying
language situations also play a part in the
speaker's choices of registers when he
communicates with a specific interlocutor.
Vagueness of speech can jeopardize the process of
communication when the use of language of the
speaker and the interlocutor do not correspond.
Attempts of the Namaqualander to eliminate this
vagueness can cause linguistic phenomena such as
the supposition of language markers belonging to
the interlocutor, hipercorrection or the use of
prestige forms.
