Russian Germans on Four Continents
The history of Russian Germans (Russlanddeutsche) is one of intensive mobility across space and time. Today, the descendants of eighteenth-century German-speaking settlers in the Russian Empire live on four continents: Europe, Asia, and North and South America. In this volume, authors from the fields of history, sociology, cultural studies, and sociolinguistics analyze key issues of the history and present of this globally connected diaspora group from an interdisciplinary angle. Contributions address the institutional regimes and networks that shaped—and continue to shape—the mobility of Russian Germans on a global scale, the impact of war and violence on the history of this group durin...
The Many Faces of Multilingualism
Multilingualism has become an increasingly common global phenomenon especially in the last two decades. Therefore, multilingual programmes have now been regarded as a cornerstone of education systems in many countries around the world. Learning multiple languages helps us plug into a globalised world and strengthen links with a multitude of speakers from a diversified reality we live in. Thanks to the researched cases described in the chapters, further developments aimed at fostering multilingual practices in the contemporary world will be enhanced. The chapters included in the present volume, provide an overview of current theory, research and practice in the field. They deal with such prom...
Voces indígenas amenazadas y el despertar de sus lenguas
En este viaje transcontinental pasaremos por África, Europa, Oceanía, y las Américas, conociendo situaciones lingüísticas de lo más diversas, en las cuales encontraremos lenguas que parecen haber caído en coma, otras que despiertan, o se refuerzan, se recrean y dinamizan en distintos grados. Las situaciones y experiencias que se presentan son diversas, heterogéneas y retadoras, al igual que los esfuerzos que se despliegan desde distintos frentes, ya sea desde las familias, las comunidades de habla, las de práctica, las diaspóricas; o desde la academia o las instancias políticas. Todavía, estos esfuerzos son insuficientes; y es que la pérdida de las lenguas, no solo conlleva el olvido de palabras o frases, sino de valores, principios y formas de vida inmersos en contextos históricos complejos, por lo general caracterizados por ideologías lingüísticas negativas interseccionadas, que poco aportan a su revitalización. De ahí, la importancia de desarrollar procesos integrales, situados, que vayan más allá del sistema lingüístico a la defensa de los derechos humanos, y la búsqueda de justicia social.

Koloniale und postkoloniale Mikrotoponyme
Die koloniale und postkoloniale Toponomastik verortet sich an der Schnittstelle von Koloniallinguistik und Onomastik. Toponyme eignen sich in besonderer Weise für die Versprachlichung von Herrschaftswünschen und -ansprüchen und die Fixierung von Macht durch Sprache. Toponymische (Um-)Benennungen waren Teil des Sprachhandelns der Kolonisatoren sowohl im kolonisierten Raum als auch im Ausgangsgebiet der Kolonialmächte. In den hier zusammengestellten Beiträgen werden unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Mikrotoponymen und Urbanonymen zwei übergeordnete Fragestellungen bearbeitet: Auf welche Weise und in welcher Form spiegeln Benennungen und Umbenennungen eine koloniale Weltsicht wider? ...

Brazilian Sign Language Studies
This book brings together a collection of studies on Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). Research on Libras began in earnest 20 years ago, around the time that Libras was recognised as a national language of Brazil in 2002. Over the years, more and more deaf researchers have become sign language linguists, and the community of Libras scholars have documented this language and built robust resources for linguistic research. This book provides a selection of studies by these scholars, representing work in a variety of areas from phonology to creative literature.
