Wir alle pendeln täglich zwischen verschiedenen Sprechweisen (Dialekt, geschriebene Sprache, Umgangssprache, Fachsprache…) und begegnen (in der Straßenbahn, in der Schule, in Medien, auf Reisen ...) einer Vielfalt von Sprachen. Wer erforschen will, wie wir Sprachen erleben, Sprachen erwerben und mit Sprachen umgehen, findet in diesem Band aktuelle soziolinguistische Zugänge zur Mehrsprachigkeit aus Subjekt-, Diskurs und Raumperspektive. Vorgestellt werden auch Methoden der Mehrsprachigkeitsforschung wie sprachbiografisches Arbeiten oder die Exploration lokaler Sprachregime. Neben Studierenden der Linguistik erhalten auch Personen in Ausbildung zu Lehr- und Sozialberufen wertvolle Hilfestellungen für ihre zukünftige Arbeit in einer multilingualen Gesellschaft.

The first part examines different approaches to language policies, language politics, and language planning. Although nation states are still the central players in the field, present trends show that under the influence of the globalized economy, sub-state and supra-state bodies are gaining influence. The second part of the article focuses on language policies in Europe and contextualizes policies on national/official languages and on minority languages with orientations present in the European Union.

Das 2013 von Brigitta Busch vorgestellte sprachbiografische Arbeiten gilt mittlerweile als international anerkannte Methode zur wissenschaftlichen Erhebung und Analyse sprachlicher Repertoires. Die Neuauflage wurde um Passagen zu Gebärdensprachen, zu migrations- und sprachenpolitischen Neuausrichtungen unter dem Vorzeichen sogenannter Sicherheitspolitiken, zu Alltagspraktiken der Mediennutzung sowie zu Sprachregimen in urbanen Räumen und in der Arbeitswelt erweitert.

Language advocacy in times of securitization and neoliberalization: The Network LanguageRights

Language Policy, May 20, 2022

Under which conditions does it operate? What are the fights, aims, and challenges? On the one hand, answering these questions heavily depends on the political, social, cultural and linguistic context, as well as on the interests, stakes and positions of the advocacy actors. On the other, we argue that recent political economic transformations are conditioning language advocacy more than ever. In the following, we will outline two transformations we consider particularly prevalent, i.e. neoliberalization and securitization, discuss what language advocacy actually means, and exemplify this with the case of the Network LanguageRights (NLR), a language advocacy group based in Vienna, dedicated to language rights of minorities and minoritized speakers in the Austrian context, and with a focus on language policies. We will further zoom into one particular discussion occurring at the heart of the NLR, which will lead us to a concluding discussion of possible ways of rethinking language advocacy, in particular in paying attention to the notion of linguistic citizenship.

It is exciting, interesting, and highly readable. In an advanced undergraduate, or a graduate seminar, it would provide wide opportunities for discussion. It covers far more intellectual territory than most sociolinguistic or discourse analysis texts and it ties micro and macro topics together in an intellectually satisfying fashion. It shows the influences of not only

Message in a Bottle: Scenic Presentation of the Unsayable

Applied Linguistics, 2020

This article, in contrast, focusses on ways of translating a traumatic experience into forms of symbolization that do not report on what happened but rather foreground the bodily and emotional sensations linked to (re)living such experiences. In discussing such forms of scenic presentation and condensation, I will build, inter alia, on Wittgenstein’s (1919/1997) distinction between saying and showing as well as on Langer’s (1948) distinction between discursive and presentational forms of meaning making. The close reading of a multimodal text authored by an eight-year-old schoolgirl in the context of a creative-writing activity allows us to identify poetic and artistic means that suggest a reading of the text as a ‘bottled message’ about intense feelings of fear and helplessness. In concluding I argue that Bruner’s (1986) dichotomous distinction between the paradigmatic and the na...

The body image: taking an evaluative stance towards semiotic resources

International Journal of Multilingualism

ABSTRACT In the current revival of Gumperz’ notion of the verbal repertoire, which today is rathe... more ABSTRACT In the current revival of Gumperz’ notion of the verbal repertoire, which today is rather termed as communicative or semiotic repertoire, some scholars tend to locate repertoires with individual speakers whereas others see them primarily as emerging from particular spatial arrangements. What is often underestimated in both approaches is the importance of the bodily and emotionally lived experience of communicative interaction. This experience, however, can be critical in preventing resources from being deployed even though they are individually available and appropriate to the situation as well as in mobilising unexpected resources to achieve understanding. Conceiving the repertoire as holding an intermediate and mediating position between situated interactions, (sometimes competing) discourses, and subjects’ lived experiences of communicating, in this paper, I examine the interplay of these instances by introducing the notion of the ‘body image’: an imaginary, affectively loaded representation of the own body in relation to others. Finally, I discuss the language portrait (in which participants visualise their semiotic resources with reference to the outline of a body silhouette) as a window onto the body image and as a method to empirically investigate how people evaluate their resources and position themselves with regard to ideologies of communication.
