Seminar paper del año 2013 en eltema Romanística - Idiomas de América Latina, literatura, cultura general, Nota: 1,5, Universität Mannheim, Idioma: Español, Resumen: Formando parte de la familia lingüística de la Austonesia, el rapanui es una lengua exótica que todavía no ha sido analizada enteramente, pero, de todas formas, está en peligro de exitinción. Desde el anexo de la Isla de Pascua al estado chileno, el rapanui cuenta como una de las lenguas de minoría en Chile que está perdiendo hablantes por la gran influencia de la lengua española. Ese hecho atrae gran interés en las causas de disminución y en el desarrollo continuo de la existencia de dos lenguas totalmente diferentes. Por lo tanto, ese trabajo se dedicará a los detalles de la influencia española en la lengua rapanui, siendo el superstrato que elimina paulatinamente la importancia de las raíces indígenas rapanui. En este contexto, primeramente, será presentada la información general sobre la Isla de Pascua, conteniendo la historia lingüística que va a ayudar a entender el contenido siguiente. Segundamente, los principios fundamentales de la lengua rapanui serán explicados, siendo una lengua muy distinta al entendimiento europeo de las lenguas mundiales como el inglés o el español. Después, la parte principal de este trabajo se va a dedicar a la influencia concreta del español en la lengua autóctona de la Isla de Pascua con los contenidos de la fonología, el léxico, la morfología y la sintax. Finalmente, el lector debe obtener una visón conjunta sobre la situación entre el rapanui y el español, teniendo una idea báscia de la influencia y las razones de la represión del rapanui. Un objetivo final puede ser, pensar críticamente en la política lingüística por parte del estado chileno y, quizás, en medidas para salvar una lengua indígena más en el mundo.

Toronto Detective Miranda Quin takes time off in the tropics and gets trapped in a sinister plot.

The tablets of Easter Island that are known under the name of Rongorongo, are still regarded as undeciphered, since their reading by the natives Metoro and Ure Veiko seem to be unintelligible and it cannot be decided, to which tablet they may refer. But when the subject or category of a tablet has been recognized, the names of the signs, as they are called by the native readers or chanters become meaningful too, and if contradictions occur, they can be removed by the investigation of the structure of the signs. The subject can be deduced from the contents of the tablet and the partly known oral tradition of the island. It is always based on the religion of the tribal community, into which the youths are admitted by initiation as it is known from other tribes and cultures.To become acquainted with the tradition it is necessary to learn the language of Easter Island known as Rapanui nowadays, whereas the Island is called Rapa Nui. Its original words and its grammar has only been preserved in the inscriptions of the tablets. Besides, one should be free from cultural prejudice know as eurocentrism, otherwise it will be impossible to understand the inner world of the natives.
