Zapis posveta o aktualnih sociolingvističnih izzivih in prednostnih raziskovalnih tematikah, ki sta ga organizirala doc. dr. Maja Bitenc in red. prof. dr. Marko Stabej z Oddelka za slovenistiko in je ...potekal v ponedeljek, 27. 9. 2021, na Filozofski fakulteti Univerze v Ljubljani in s prenosom preko Zooma. V prvem delu so vabljene strokovnjakinje in strokovnjaki predstavili svoje poglede ob izhodiščnih vprašanjih, v drugem je sledila razprava vseh sodelujočih. Zapis posnetka so govornice in govorniki uredili po lastni presoji, načeloma s čim manj intervencijami, iz razprave pa so za branje prilagojene in objavljene vsebinsko tehtnejše replike.
This paper aims to demonstrate the close connection between society and politeness styles by analyzing Korean language textbooks for foreign learners published by Seoul National University Language ...Education Institute from 2000 to 2019. Changes in these textbooks indicate a dynamic interplay between society and language. The study reveals notable shifts in politeness styles, particularly the near-complete replacement of the formal hasipsioche with the polite informal style haeyoche. This paper seeks to connect the observed changes in textbooks and shifts in Korean culture and society. The paper offers a brief introduction to Korean history, society, and culture, highlighting their relevance to the Korean language in general and specifically to Korean in a second language education.

Authored by over 40 leading scholars, it offers a ...diverse and multidisciplinary approach to a vast array of themes that are vital to the study of interpersonal communication.
U radu se predstavlja preliminarno istraživanje četiriju fonoloških obilježja s varijacijama u suvremenom zagrebačkom govoru: gubitka obezvučivanja zvučnih opstruenata na kraju riječi, pomaka udara ...na drugi slog jedninskih oblika imenica srednjeg roda poput ime i prezime, pomaka udara sa zadnjega na prvi slog osnove pridjeva sa sufiksima -sk- ili -n- te gubljenja međuvokalnih konsonanata. Obilježja se istražuju u okviru varijacijske sociolingvistike s ciljem da se ispita rasprostranjenost pojedinih varijanata među govornicima te prepoznaju eventualne naznake jezične promjene u tijeku. Istraživanje se temelji na govornoj građi prikupljenoj intervjuima, koja je analizirana s obzirom na dob, spol i socioekonomski status ispitanikā. Rezultati upućuju na to da je obezvučivanje krajnjih opstruenata prilično dobro zastupljeno među zrelijim Zagrepčanima, a slabo među mlađima, što navodi na zaključak da se odvija promjena kojom se ovaj proces gubi. Jedninski oblici imenica poput ime i prezime s udarom pomaknutim na drugi slog ispostavili su se varijantom koja se javlja sporadično među mladima te ne pokazuje naznake promjene u tijeku. U pogledu pomaka udara sa zadnjega na prvi slog osnove pridjeva sa sufiksima -sk- ili -n-, pokazalo se da je u nekih pridjeva to već završena promjena, da neki pridjevi s odgovarajućom strukturom još nisu zahvaćeni njime, a da u nekih postoji varijacija. Zapaženi obrasci upućuju na mogućnost da je opisani pomak udara promjena koja se odvija u pridjevā s varijacijom. Naposljetku, gubljenje međuvokalnih konsonanata zabilježeno je vrlo sporadično te ne pokazuje naznake glasovne promjene u tijeku.
The paper presents a preliminary investigation of four phonological features with variations in the contemporary Zagreb dialect: loss of the devoicing of word-final obstruents, stress shift to the stem-final syllable of singular forms of neuter nouns such as ime and prezime, stress shift from the stem-final to the first syllable of adjectives with suffixes -sk- or -n- and elision of intervocalic consonants. The features are studied within a variationist sociolinguistic framework with the aim of investigating the prevalence ofvariants among speakers and identifying conceivable indications of an ongoing language change. The investigation is based on spoken material collected with the help of interviews, which has been analysed with respect to the participants’ age, gender, andsocioeconomic status. The results indicate that the devoicing of word-final obstruents is rather well-represented among more mature speakers and poorly among the younger ones, pointing towards an ongoing loss of this feature. Singular forms of nouns such as ime and prezime with stress shifted to the stem-final syllable turned out to be a variant occurring sporadically in younger speakers, showing no indications of an ongoing change. Regarding the stress shift from the stem-final to the first syllable of adjectives with the suffixes -sk- or -n-, it has been revealed that is already a completed change in some adjectives, and that some adjectives with the relevant structure have not yet been affected by the shift, while others exhibit variation. The observed patterns indicate that the described shift may be an ongoing change affecting the adjectives with variation. Finally, the intervocalic consonant elision was noted very sporadically, and it shows no indications of an ongoing sound change.
English-Only Europe? explores the role of languages in the process of European integration. Languages are central to the development of an integrated Europe. The way in which the European Union deals ...with multilingualism has serious implications for both individual member countries and international relations. In this book, Robert Phillipson considers whether the contemporary expansion of English represents a serious threat to other European languages. After exploring the implications of current policies, Phillipson argues the case for more active language policies to safeguard a multilingual Europe. Drawing on examples of countries with explicit language policies such as Canada and South Africa, the book sets out Phillipson's vision of an inclusive language policy for Europe, and describes how it can be attained.
THE SOCIOLINGUISTIC SITUATION IN NORTHEASTERN LITHUANIA AS SHOWN BY QUESTIONNAIRES OF THE INTERWAR PERIODSummaryThe interwar period questionnaires composed to investigate Northeastern Lithuanian ...spoken language also contain particular information about the social situation of the rural areas. The 1933–1935 questionnaires made by Antanas Valaitis show that Lithuanian was the main language spoken in the villages visited by the investigator. The non-Lithuanian speaking villages were sporadic. The village inhabitants usually prayed in the same language they spoke at home. There were only rare instances when the elderly inhabitants prayed in Polish, explaining they had been forced to do so by their Polish landlords. Among the rural districts investigated by Valaitis, the largest number of literate inhabitants was found in the Tverečius district, and the most active social organization in Northeastern Lithuania was the Society of St. Casimirus.
SOZIOLINGUISTISCHE ANMERKUNGEN ZUR LAGE DER NORDÖSTLICHEN „VILNAER“ MUNDARTEN IN DER ZEIT VON 1920 BIS 1930ZusammenfassungIm Artikel wird die soziolinguistische Situation des westlichen Teils des ...Bezirks Ignalina in den Jahren 1920–1930 diskutiert. Am meisten stützen wir uns dabei auf Daten aus Fragebögen, welche während verschiedener Expeditionen erhoben wurden. Die von den Informanten gelieferten Daten und ihre Analyse zeigen die folgenden wesentlichen Tendenzen: 1) In den untersuchten Kirchengemeinden von Palūšė, Daugėliškis, Vidiškės und Paringys wurde die allgemeine Polonisierungspolitik der polnischen Verwaltung verwirklicht. 2) Das Material deutet darauf hin, daß das stärkste Polonisierungsinstrument am ehesten die Schule war, das schwächste dagegen die polnischen Verwaltung und die Gutsbesitzer. 3) Verglichen mit den übrigen Teilen des Vilnaer Gebiets war die Rolle der Kirche im Polonisierungsprozeß eher gering. 4) Der Polonisierung wirkte in der Bevölkerung das Bewusstsein ihrer ethnische Zugehörigkeit entgegen, eine klare Identität, litauische Pfarrer und das Modell der Schule „von den Eltern“ (d.i. von Wanderlehrern, die in den Häusern der litauischen Unterricht erteilten).
