Abstract

Grundpositionen interkultureller LinguistikIn dem Buch wird der Versuch unternommen, die Grundpositionen einer sprachwissenschaftlichen Theorie zu bestimmen, die als interkulturelle Linguistik bezeichnet werden kann, insofern sie die interkulturelle Variation sprachwissenschaftlicher Phänomene zum Gegenstand hat. Die verschiedenen Arten der interkulturellen Variation sprachwissenschaftlicher Phänomene lassen sich auf drei Grundkategorien zurückführen, nämlich auf die interkulturelle Variation der Sprache, des Sprechens und der Sprachwissenschaft, die in den drei Hauptkapiteln des Buches im Ein

Abstract

Developments in cognitive science indicate that human and nonhuman primates share a range of behavioral and physiological characteristics that speak to the issue of language origins. This volume has three major themes, woven throughout the chapters. First, it is argued that scientists in animal behavior and anthropology need to move beyond theoretical debate to a more empirically focused and comparative approach to language. Second, those empirical and comparative methods are described, revealing underpinnings of language, some of which are shared by humans and other primates and others of which are unique to humans. New insights are discussed, and several hypotheses emerge concerning the evolutionary forces that led to the "design" of language. Third, evolutionary challenges that led to adaptive changes in communication over time are considered with an eye toward understanding various constraints that channeled the process.

Abstract

This analysis of language policy on Corsica provides the first study of the three levels of language policy existing on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. It focuses on the key participants - the State, the language activists and the islanders - in the language debate that has taken place across the island since its purchase by France. This book is informed by recent work on language planning, both theoretical and relating to specific case studies. At the same time, it engages with trends in sociolinguistics over the past decades, which have included language planning in their investigations of languages in contact, language obsolescence and language death. A central premise of this book is that the three discrete categories of participants in the language debate are closely interrelated and that the status and position of Corsican in relation to French cannot be understood without a thorough exploration of these three strands. This volume will appeal to researchers and students in French Studies, sociolinguistics, and especially language policy.
