Abstract
Tijekom 19. stoljeća Švedsku je zahvatio veliki val iseljavanja, posebice u Sjedinjene Američke Države. Ekonomska i politička kriza jedni su od glavnih razloga zbog kojih su Šveđani krenuli preko oceana. Većina se tadašnjih iseljenika nastanila na prostoru savezne države Minnesote, uglavnom u istim gradovima i mjestima kao njihovi prijatelji i poznanici. Unatoč pokušajima očuvanja švedskih vrijednosti, švedske kulture, pa i njihovog jezika, proces amerikanizacije bio je neizbježan. Socijalna mobilnost, mnogobrojnost švedskih dijalekata te naposljetku i svakodnevna socijalizacija s Amerikancima utjecali su na prelazak sa švedskog na engleski jezik stvorivši tako američki švedski, varijetet švedskog jezika. Tadašnji američki švedski obilovao je arhaizmima i gramatičkim konstrukcijama koje su odavno izumrle u standardnom švedskom jeziku. Danas se američki švedski smatra nasljednim jezikom te služi za očuvanje kulture i nacionalnog duha.
Abstract (english)
In the 19th century, economic and political pressures led many Swedes to emigrate to the United States. These immigrants established Swedish-speaking communities, but gradually assimilated, blending their language with English to create a mixed language called American Swedish. Factors such as social mobility, diverse dialects, and interactions with Americans facilitated this linguistic shift. Early American Swedish retained many dialects and borrowed extensively from English. Researchers in the mid-20th century noted significant English influences and varying degrees of dialect preservation. Today, American Swedish is a heritage language, characterized by code-switching and declining use. Despite preservation efforts through cultural organizations and language courses, the use of Swedish in America is predicted to diminish within a generation. The evolution of American Swedish highlights the complex interplay between maintaining cultural identity and adapting to a new environment.
