This thesis is a study of the Beirut dialect of Judeo-Spanish as spoken by one informant of that community now living in Vancouver, B.C. The analysis of the dialect was based upon oral material which was tape-recorded. The study describes the phonology, lexicon, morphology, and syntax as they appeared in the corpus which consisted of about 33,000 words. Pertinent features are compared to both the Judeo-Spanish norm and to Old Spanish, noting the conformations, and differences, and indicating the reason for variances. The informant's speech contained many archaisms especially in the vocabulary. Archaic features of the phonology, however, have become obscured through the influence of superstrata and cannot provide any conclusive evidence which would corroborate certain phonetic distinctions of Old Spanish. There is also some variance between the phonology of this dialect and other Sephardic dialects. Also evident in the dialect studied here were: impoverishment of vocabulary, the introduction of neologisms and new formations, analogical changes common to Sephardic Spanish and some other analogical changes peculiar to this dialect only. While other dialect studies of Judeo-Spanish show a dominant number of Turkish loans, this dialect has a far greater number of Gallicisms of apparently recent introduction. Widespread social and cultural changes in the life of the Sephardim in recent years have radically affected these dialects. The increasing pressure of external influences is obscuring many phonological and syntactical patterns hitherto used by Judeo-Spanish and the existence of many anomalies and much free variation is evidence of the advanced state of decay of this dialect. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate

This study explores the Judeo-Spanish dialect through the analysis of an oral sample provided by two native speakers from Rhodes. A twenty-minute segment has been transcribed phonetically and incorporated into the thesis. A preliminary section provides the necessary historical, cultural and linguistic background for the analysis of the sample. Distinctive phonetic, morphological, lexical and syntactical features of the informants1 speech are pointed out and their significance demonstrated both synchronically, in relation to Eastern Judeo-Spanish and modern Hispanic Romance, and diachronically, showing survival of old Spanish elements. In the conclusion, the writer states that the development of the dialect was the result of the unique sociological conditions prevailing in the Sephardic communities of the ottoman Empire and highlights both the historical continuity of Judeo-Spanish as well as its participation in the common heritage of Hispano-Romance. He notes the presence or lack of certain foreign elements in their speech and alludes to Westernization and their education on Rhodes. He mentions differences in their pronunciation. The writer concludes that the segment of the dialogue recorded and transcribed is representative of the distinctive features of Judeo-Spanish and that, as such, it is a good introduction to the dialect. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate
