Book Synopsis Areal Linguistics within the Phonological Atlas of Europe by : Thomas Stolz
Download or read book Areal Linguistics within the Phonological Atlas of Europe written by Thomas Stolz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to many other levels of language, there is as yet no comprehensive areal-linguistic description of the segmental phonological properties of the languages of Europe. To complement the synchronic picture of the languages of Europe, it is time to take stock of their phoneme inventories to provide an empirical basis for generalizations about the similarities and dissimilarities of the languages of Europe. The best way to visualize the areal phonology of Europe is that of the Phonological Atlas of Europe (Phon@Europe) which features the isoglosses of phonological phenomena on a plethora of maps. As a prequel to Phon@Europe, this study not only outlines the goals, methodology, sample, and theory of the project but also focuses on loan phonemes whose diffusion across the 210 doculects of the sample yields meaningful patterns. The patterns are indicative of recent processes of convergence which have transformed a diverse phonological mosaic into a superficially homogeneous linguistic area. The developments which have led to the present situation are traced back through the history of the sample languages.

Book Synopsis Language and Nationalism in Europe by : Stephen Barbour
Download or read book Language and Nationalism in Europe written by Stephen Barbour and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-12-14 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of language in the present and past creation of social, cultural, and national identities in Europe. It considers the way in which language may sometimes reinforce national identity (as in England) while tending to subvert the nation-state (as in the United Kingdom). After an introduction describing the interactive roles of language, ethnicity, culture, and institutions in the character and formation of nationalism and identity, the book considers their different manifestations throughout Europe. Chapters are devoted to Britain and Ireland; France; Spain and Portugal; Scandinavia; the Netherlands and Belgium; Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg; Italy; Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic; Bulgaria, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Albania, Slovenia, Romania, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo; Greece and Turkey; the Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, the Baltic States, and the Russian Federation. The book concludes with a consideration of the current relative status of the languages of Europe and how these and the identities they reflect are changing and evolving.
Book Synopsis Multilingual Europe by : Heather Merle Benbow
Download or read book Multilingual Europe written by Heather Merle Benbow and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Europe continues to expand and integrate through the European Union, it faces the challenge of ever increasing multilingual and multicultural contact, within and across its borders. This volume presents recent research on European language policy, language contact and multiculturalism that explores how Europe is meeting this challenge. Inspired by intersections and conflicts in language and cultural identity in Europe, the volume transcends disciplinary boundaries by enhancing sociolinguistic research with chapters on cultural identity and language in contemporary European cinema. The book considers the relationships between language and cultural identity in Europe at a time of increasing multicultural complexity, with contributions on Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Ukraine, and the linguistic and imaginative spaces between and beyond. The volume highlights the ongoing significance of language and identity for an expanding Europe, and the ways in which situations of linguistic hybridity, interlocution and language contact continue to define Europe and its others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book brings together research perspectives on the theme of European linguistic and cultural identity. Its chapters are the responses of rising European researchers to the challenges of language and identity in the context of a multilingual Europe, particularly in urban settings. The authors explore the extent to which diversity, and in particular linguistic diversity, affects identity formation across the European Union, from Ireland to Bulgaria, and beyond its borders. These chapters illustrate both the importance of the theme and the potential for further development in theory, policy and praxis. Readers will find this volume to be an informative and useful springboard for a deeper understanding of language and identity in complex social contexts within an evolving geopolitical and cultural landscape"--

Book Synopsis Linguistic Identities, Language Shift and Language Policy in Europe by : Bert Cornillie
Download or read book Linguistic Identities, Language Shift and Language Policy in Europe written by Bert Cornillie and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume reflect the changes in the linguistic landscape, and illustrate the dynamics of linguistic situations in Europe. Whereas some contributions offer theoretically distanced views on linguistic identity, linguistic internationalisation and linguistic adaptation, other papers provide empirical documentation on language policies, language loss or retention, code-switching in migrant communities, and linguistic rights. The volume offers important materials for a comprehensive overview of the social, political, and cultural status of language varieties in Europe. The papers, covering data from a wide array of languages (Germanic, Romance, Slavic, Baltic, Finno-Ugric, Greek and Turkish), are preceded by an introduction focusing on the ecolinguistic setting of the study of linguistic identities, language shifts and linguistic ideologies. The contributions are intended to reflect essential features of European language study, past and present: European language awareness in relation to highly diversified linguistic and cultural situations; the development of linguistic models, and the construction of key concepts in general linguistics; the interest in systemic variation; translation theory and practice.

Book Synopsis Language and Social Change in Central Europe by : Patrick Stevenson
Download or read book Language and Social Change in Central Europe written by Patrick Stevenson and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-31 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the dynamics of language and social change in central Europe in the context of the end of the Cold War and eastern expansion of the European Union. One outcome of the profound social transformations in central Europe since the Second World War has been the reshaping of the relationship between particular languages and linguistic varieties, especially between 'national' languages and regional or ethnic minority languages. Previous studies have investigated these transformed relationships from the macro perspective of language policies, while others have taken more fine-grained approaches to individual experiences with language. Combining these two perspectives for the first time--and focusing on the German language, which has a uniquely complex and problematic history in the region--the authors offer an understanding of the complex constellation of language politics in central Europe. Stevenson and Carl's analysis draws on a range of theoretical, conceptual and analytical approaches - language ideologies, language policy, positioning theory, discourse analysis, narrative analysis and life histories - and a wide range of data sources, from European and national language policies to individual language biographies. The authors demonstrate how the relationship between German and other languages has played a crucial role in the politics of language and processes of identity formation in the recent history of central Europe.
