Jeringonza
{{Infobox Language game , nativename = ''Jeringozo'', ''Idioma de la Pe'' , states = Spain, Latin America , classification = Jeringonza , hostlanguage = Spanish, European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, others Jeringonza is a Spanish language game played by children in Spain and all over Hispanic America. It consists of adding the letter ''p'' after each vowel of a word, and repeating the vowel. For example, ''Carlos'' turns into ''Cápar-lopos''. For syllables with multiple vowels, usually only the stressed vowel is used. '' Australia'' becomes ''Apaus-trapa-liapa''. Some people treat all vowels alike: they would say ''Apa-upus-trapa-lipi-apa''. Yet another variant inserts the ''p''+vowel at the end of all syllables instead of just after the vowel: ''Carlos'' does not become ''Cápar-lopos'' in this version, but ''Carpa-lospo''. This language game is also known by alternate names in Spanish-speaking countries: ''jeringozo'' in Argentina and Uruguay, ''jerigonz ...

Language Game
A language game (also called a cant, secret language, ludling, or argot) is a system of manipulating spoken words to render them incomprehensible to an untrained listener. Language games are used primarily by groups attempting to conceal their conversations from others. Some common examples are Pig Latin; the Gibberish family, prevalent in the United States and Sweden; and Verlan, spoken in France. A common difficulty with language games is that they are usually passed down orally; while written translations can be made, they are often imperfect, and thus spelling can vary widely. Some factions argue that words in these spoken tongues should simply be written the way they are pronounced, while others insist that the purity of language demands that the transformation remain visible when the words are imparted to paper. Use Some language games such as Pig Latin are so widely known that privacy is virtually impossible, as most people have a passable understanding of how it work ...

Língua Do Pê
Língua dos Pês ( Portuguese, ''P Language'') is a language game spoken in Brazil and Portugal with Portuguese. It is also known in other languages, such as Dutch, Afrikaans, and Estonian. Function There are at least three different "dialects," or variations, of Língua do Pê. "Double talk" dialect This "dialect" of Língua do Pê is just like the Jeringonza and the Idioma F language games in Spanish. It works by repeating the rime of each syllable, beginning it with ''p'' (''pê'' in Portuguese). Examples: * você → ''vo-po-cê-pê'' * gato → ''ga-pa-to-po'' * menino → ''me-pe-ni-pi-no-po'' Vowel-changing dialect This "dialect" is like the one described above, except that some vowels are changed. When an open syllable (one that ends in a vowel) has or as its vowel, it is changed to and , respectively. : Example: * * ''Você cortou o seu cabelo?'' (Did you cut your hair?) Please note that the syllables beginning with ''p'' are stressed, not the original ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ubbi Dubbi
Ubbi dubbi is a language game spoken with the English language. Originating in America in the 17th century, it was popularized by the 1972–1978 PBS children's show '' Zoom''. When ''Zoom'' was revived in 1999 on PBS, Ubbi dubbi was again a feature of the show. Variations of Ubbi Dubbi include Obbish, Ob, Ib, Arpy Darpy, and Iz. Rules Ubbi dubbi works by adding ''-ub-'' before each vowel sound in a syllable (or, as a linguist might put it, "insert �ʌbafter each syllable onset"). The stress falls on the "ub" of the syllable that is stressed in the original word. In the word "hello" for example, which is stressed on the "-lo" syllable, the stress falls on the "lub" in "hubellubo". The method of adding "ub" before each vowel sound has been described as "iterative infixation". Examples * Good day → "Gubood dubay" * Speak → "spubeak" * Hello → "hubellubo" * Extra → "ubextruba" * Hubba Bubba bubblegum → "Hububbuba Bububbuba bubububblegubum" * Mi ...

Pig Latin
Pig Latin is a language game or argot in which words in English are altered, usually by adding a fabricated suffix or by moving the onset or initial consonant or consonant cluster of a word to the end of the word and adding a vocalic syllable to create such a suffix. For example, Wikipedia would become Ikipediaway (taking the 'W' and 'ay' to create a suffix). The objective is to conceal the words from others not familiar with the rules. The reference to Latin is a deliberate misnomer; Pig Latin is simply a form of argot or jargon unrelated to Latin, and the name is used for its English connotations as a strange and foreign-sounding language. It is most often used by young children as a fun way to confuse people unfamiliar with Pig Latin. Origins and history Early mentions of pig Latin or hog Latin describe what we would today call dog Latin, a type of parody Latin. Examples of this predate even Shakespeare, whose 1598 play, ''Love's Labour's Lost'', includes a referen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Variety (linguistics)
In sociolinguistics, a variety, also called an isolect or lect, is a specific form of a language or language cluster. This may include languages, dialects, registers, styles, or other forms of language, as well as a standard variety.Meecham, Marjorie and Janie Rees-Miller. (2001) "Language in social contexts." In W. O'Grady, J. Archibald, M. Aronoff and J. Rees-Miller (eds) ''Contemporary Linguistics''. pp. 537-590. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin's. The use of the word "variety" to refer to the different forms avoids the use of the term ''language'', which many people associate only with the standard language, and the term ''dialect'', which is often associated with non-standard varieties thought of as less prestigious or "correct" than the standard.Schilling-Estes, Natalies. (2006) "Dialect variation." In R.W. Fasold and J. Connor-Linton (eds) ''An Introduction to Language and Linguistics''. pp. 311-341. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Linguists speak of both standard and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rosarigasino
Rosarigasino (also known as Gasó) is a language game (in the form of a rhyming slang) traditionally associated with the city of Rosario, , even though very few people, if any, currently employ it. It is similar to the much more common game of '' jeringonza''. The exact origins of this language remain uncertain, but scholars and historians agree that it was created in the early 20th century by local prisoners to communicate with each other without being understood by guards. ''Rosarigasino'' functions by adding two syllables to each word by inserting the sequence ''-gas-'' immediately after the stressed vowel and then repeating that vowel, followed by the rest of the word. The term ''rosarigasino'' itself is formed in this way, after the local residents' demonym A demonym (; ) or gentilic () is a word that identifies a group of people (inhabitants, residents, natives) in relation to a particular place. Demonyms are usually derived from the name of the place (hamlet, village ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
