Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La ville est un lieu de langue, un lieu où se confrontent, se côtoient, s'apparient des groupes langagiers, ethniques, sociaux... Elle est productrice de normes de toutes natures, y compris langagières. Elle est encore un lieu de tensions et de conflits. Mais comment la ville agit-elle sur la langue ? Quels sont les discours qui la caractérisent ? Comment les pratiques langagières des citadins participent-elles à l'édification d'un espace urbain communautaire ? Ces questions sont traitées au travers de corpus recueillis dans cinq villes européennes (Rouen,Venise, Berlin, Athènes et Mons).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coming together of linguistics and sociology in the 1960's, most notably via the work of William Labov, marked a revolution in the study of language and provided a paradigm for the understanding of variation and change. Labovian quantitative methods have been employed successfully in North America, the UK, Scandinavia and New Zealand, but have had surprisingly little resonance in France, a country which poses many challenges to orthodox sociolinguistic thinking. Why, for example, does a nation with unexceptional scores on income distribution and social mobility show an exceptionally high degree of linguistic levelling, that is, the elimination of marked regional or local speech forms? And why does French appear to abound in 'hyperstyle' variables, which show greater variation on the stylistic than on the social dimension, in defiance of a well-established theory than such variables should not occur? This volume brings together leading variationist sociolinguists and sociologists from both sides of the Channel to ask: what makes France'exceptional'? In addressing this question, variationists have been forced to reassess the accepted interdisciplinary consensus, and to ask, as sociolinguistics has come of age, whether concepts and definitions have been transposed in a way which meaningfully preserves their original sense and, crucially, takes account of recent developments in sociology. Sociologists, for their part, have focused on the largely neglected area of language variation and its implications for social theory. Their findings therefore transcend the case study of a particularly enigmatic country to raise important theoretical questions for both disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows the effects of globalization on language in social context, identifying the city as the key site for the realization of these effects. It challenges assumptions that hold sustainable linguistic diversity to be inherently non-urban while regarding the city as an unproblematic site for understanding the social function of language.
Download or read book Multilingualism and Identity written by Wendy Ayres-Bennett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-04 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis and understanding of multilingualism, and its relationship to identity in the face of globalization, migration and the increasing dominance of English as a lingua franca, makes it a complex and challenging problem that requires insights from a range of disciplines. With reference to a variety of languages and contexts, this book offers fascinating insights into multilingual identity from a team of world-renowned scholars, working from a range of different theoretical and methodological perspectives. Three overarching themes are explored – situatedness, identity practices, and investment – and detailed case studies from different linguistic and cultural contexts are included throughout. The chapter authors' consideration of 'multilingualism-as-resource' challenges the conception of 'multilingualism-as-problem', which has dogged so much political thinking in late modernity. The studies offer a critical lens on the types of linguistic repertoire that are celebrated and valued, and introduce the policy implications of their findings for education and wider social issues.
Download or read book Dialectological and Folk Dialectological Concepts of Space written by Sandra Hansen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In variational linguistics, the concept of space has always been a central issue. However, different research traditions considering space coexisted for a long time separately. Traditional dialectology focused primarily on the diatopic dimension of linguistic variation, whereas in sociolinguistic studies diastratic and diaphasic dimensions were considered. For a long time only very few linguistic investigations tried to combine both research traditions in a two-dimensional design – a desideratum which is meant to be compensated by the contributions of this volume. The articles present findings from empirical studies which take on these different concepts and examine how they relate to one another. Besides dialectological and sociolinguistic concepts also a lay perspective of linguistic space is considered, a paradigm that is often referred to as “folk dialectology”. Many of the studies in this volume make use of new computational possibilities of processing and cartographically representing large corpora of linguistic data. The empirical studies incorporate findings from different linguistic communities in Europe and pursue the objective to shed light on the inter-relationship between the different concepts of space and their relevance to variational linguistics.
Download or read book Linguistic Landscape in the City written by Elana Shohamy and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2010-07-29 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on linguistic landscapes in present-day urban settings. In a wide-ranging collection of studies of major world cities, the authors investigate both the forces that shape linguistic landscape and the impact of the linguistic landscape on the wider social and cultural reality. Not only does the book offer a wealth of case studies and comparisons to complement existing publications on linguistic landscape, but the editors aim to investigate the nature of a field of study which is characterised by its interest in ‘ordered disorder’. The editors aspire to delve into linguistic landscape beyond its appearance as a jungle of jumbled and irregular items by focusing on the variations in linguistic landscape configurations and recognising that it is but one more field of the shaping of social reality under diverse, uncoordinated and possibly incongruent structuration principles.

Book excerpt: La sociolinguistique urbaine se constitue en France sur la problématisation de l'urbanité et de l'urbanisation linguistique ; si le débat reste entier sur l'opportunité de considérer, dans cette optique, la large part est faite aux mobilités spatiale et linguistique comme valeur sociale déterminante des usages des espaces langagiers, il semble toujours nécessaire de confronter encore et toujours non seulement les travaux de terrains mais encore les théorisations propres à ce champ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette livraison des Cahiers Internationaux de Sociolinguistique renvoie à une préoccupation centrale de la sociolinguistique urbaine : faire valoir les tensions, sinon les conflits, non seulement entre les différents groupes sociaux qui occupent et structurent l'espace dit urbain, mais encore la façon dont les individus tentent de concilier leurs habitus de tous ordres avec des contraintes et processus toujours situationnels. Les normes qui sont ici globalement questionnées relèvent des normes identitaires urbanisées et la rupture dont il est question rend compte de la complexité de reconfigurer un espace langagier de référence lorsque celui-ci est fragmenté par la mobilité.

Download or read book Arabic Dialectology written by Enam al- Wer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the insight in the field of Arabic linguistics has for a long time remained unknown to linguists outside the field. Regrettably, Arabic data rarely feature in the formulation of theories and analytical tools in modern linguistics. This situation is unfavourable to both sides. The Arabist, once an outrider, has almost become a non-member of the mainstream linguistics community. Consequently, linguistics itself has been deprived of a wealth of data from one of the world's major languages. However, it is reassuring to witness advances being made to integrate into mainstream linguistics the visions and debates of specialists in Arabic. Building on this fruitful endeavour, this book presents thought-provoking, new articles, especially written for this collection by leading scholars from both sides. The authors discuss topics in historical, social and spatial dialectology focusing on Arabic data investigated within modern analytical frameworks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sociolinguistique urbaine existe-t-elle ? Autrement dit, se distingue-t-elle, sur les plans conceptuels et méthodologiques, d'une sociolinguistique "non urbaine" ? Son émergence est-elle réelle ou spécifique d'une seule communauté nationale voire d'une seule culture urbaine ? Peut-on parler d'urbanité langagière ? Consacré aux lieux de ville, cet ouvrage propose, pour commencer de répondre à ces interrogations, un ensemble de réflexions épistémologiques, conceptuelles et théoriques pour approcher au plus près les corrélations entre lieux, langue(s), discours, identité et espace urbain ; plusieurs villes de statut et d'importance divers sont ainsi évoquées : Marseille, Rouen, Bâle, Glasgow, Montpellier, Montréal...
Download or read book The Oxford Guide to the Romance Languages written by Adam Ledgeway and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 1408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Guide to the Romance Languages is the most exhaustive treatment of the Romance languages available today. Leading international scholars adopt a variety of theoretical frameworks and approaches to offer a detailed structural examination of all the individual Romance varieties and Romance-speaking areas, including standard, non-standard, dialectal, and regional varieties of the Old and New Worlds. The book also offers a comprehensive comparative account of major topics, issues, and case studies across different areas of the grammar of the Romance languages. The volume is organized into 10 thematic parts: Parts 1 and 2 deal with the making of the Romance languages and their typology and classification, respectively; Part 3 is devoted to individual structural overviews of Romance languages, dialects, and linguistic areas, while Part 4 provides comparative overviews of Romance phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics, and sociolinguistics. Chapters in Parts 5-9 examine issues in Romance phonology, morphology, syntax, syntax and semantics, and pragmatics and discourse, respectively, while the final part contains case studies of topics in the nominal group, verbal group, and the clause. The book will be an essential resource for both Romance specialists and everyone with an interest in Indo-European and comparative linguistics.
