| Among the many examples of Russian-American Ă©migrĂ© literature, a number of less known authors moved to the USA, following their predecessorsâ transnational and plurilingual experiences. The bilingual (and sometimes trilingual) expressions in their works written in English invite a contrastive analysis of their transition from their source language, Russian, to their target language, English. This book explores the linguistic structure of the autobiographies of four Russian-American writers (Cournos, Nabokov, Berberova and Shteyngart) bringing into focus the linguistic â geologyâ of their texts, as they record their passage from a Russian world to an English one. These linguistic passages are examined from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective, by dwelling on the geographies of the Ă©migrĂ©sâ itineraries as well as on the process of linguistic transformation that such itineraries generated. By analyzing these writersâ geographic and linguistic routes, this volume engages the reader in a metalinguistic discourse and highlights the influence of these first plurilingual experiments on modern theories concerning linguistic globalization. |
