Special language
The Mastbrucher Emmes is a special language that differs from other varieties of German ( high-level , dialect , technical , colloquial language ) due to its special vocabulary and function , and due to its coding process (substitution of common language words by foreign words) and its special vocabulary to the so-called Rotwelsch dialects heard.
Language names
From outsiders, the language is often referred to as gypsy language, mast break language, mast break slang, mast break Emmes, Neuhaus slang, Neuhaus German or Igelfresserssprache (external language names). As an internal name, i.e. the name chosen by the speakers themselves for their special language, only Emmes belonging to the school yard of the secondary school in Mastbruch is known (Yiddish emmes ' truth ', Westphalian ömmes ' big, stocky guy' big object ').
Alienation process
As a secret language , the original aim was to achieve obscuration by integrating words from so-called donor languages into the otherwise standard or colloquial text; Mainly from the language of the Gypsies (Rom (a) nes / Sintetikes) and the Westphalian Jews (Jewish-German, West Yiddish ) as well as from the Rotwelschen (oldest German secret language, already in the 12th / 13th century as the language of the vagabonds and non-residents developed).
Orality and writing
Originally, the Mastbrucher Emmes was not in writing, which is a common characteristic of special and secret languages. At a later point in its history, text was occasionally added to the special language. Glossaries were created in connection with documentation and scientific research . The Mastbrucher Emmes has recently also been featured in internet forums and rapper texts.
Emergence
After the end of the Second World War , Mastbrucher Emmes developed from the gypsy families settled in Mastbruch, especially of young people, as a mixed language from native-speaker words (Sintetikes / Rom [a] nes) and words from the colloquial and special German of the area. Back then, the children attended elementary schools in Neuhaus and in the neighboring towns of Thune and Marienloh . The Mastbrucher, who did not come from gypsy families and were born in the 1950s, did not know Ömmes , so it was not yet more widespread at the time. According to some sources, it was not until the 1960s that it became the general language of schoolchildren in the Mastbruch / Schloss Neuhaus area. Influence on the vocabulary of the Mastbrucher Emmes took u. a. the Masematte widespread in the Münster area , the Minden Buttjer language and, to a lesser extent, the cattle dealer language of the region, which is usually called "Hebrew".
Student language
Mastbrucher Emmes developed into a school language early on, and according to contemporary witnesses, it was spoken by students from Gypsy families from 1948 onwards and used for social demarcation. Currently it is mostly male students who use the Emmes. The internet forums also show that girls are increasingly taking part and coming out in Emmes .
Influence of the regional colloquial language through the Mastbrucher Emmes
Individual words from Mastbrucher Emmes are generally known and used in the regional vernacular of the region, such as schabo `guy´, ische` girl, girlfriend´, jack `fire´ or latscho` good, great, super´. Sentence stereotypes such as B. Hegel has to be made 'the bastard belongs in the mangle', or Ey latscho Terchers, dude !, Dell ma 'Lobi, have Tschi Pimangries !, Dick, Hegel is full of pasch, he just works Fuhl! are now at least partly understood outside the borders of the special language in Paderborn and the surrounding area.
