Encountering Toponymic Geopolitics
This book provides cutting-edge insights on contemporary geopolitical toponymic policy and practice in post-Soviet countries. It examines the political features of place naming as a reflection of contemporary political discourse. With multidisciplinary insights from leading scholars, chapters explore a range of topics drawing on critical political toponymy and traditional methods. Contributions examine how the toponymic system can act as a symbol of national identity, the regional geopolitics of toponymy, and geopolitical patterns in contemporary renaming. The historical roots of toponymic decolonization are analyzed, as well as indigenous toponymy and politics, and toponymic aspects of peop...
The Making and Unmaking of the Ukrainian Working Class
Industrial workers in Ukraine have a complex political lifeworld because their political action aimed at bringing radical social change coexists with a demobilizing stance that condemns all political participation as corrupt. This contradictory attitude to politics defines the character of populist mass mobilizations that shook Ukraine in 2004 and 2014, as well as the electoral overhaul of 2019 and the popular response to the Russian invasion in 2022. Based on three years of fieldwork in the city of Kryvyi Rih, the book focuses on the moral economy that constitutes the working class and structures its relations with other social groups.
Határhelyzetek II.
Anyanyelv és a többségi nyelv használata nem új téma a kisebbségkutatásban. Nehéz itt új „igazságokat” felmutatni, viszont a régi „igazságokat” újra kell gondolni. A körülöttünk lévő világ változásai megkövetelik, hogy mindig újra- és újragondoljuk ezt a kérdést. Nem véletlen, hogy a kötet jelentős része a nyelvhasználattal és az ehhez szorosan kapcsolódó oktatáspolitikával foglalkozik. A határokon túlra került magyarság a történelmi Magyarország megszűnte óta küzd anyanyelvének az élet minden területén történő használatáért. (Tegyük hozzá, korábban hasonló küzdelmet folytattak a nemzeti kisebbségek a soknemzetiségű M...

Future Research Directions for Applied Linguistics
This edited volume provides an overview of current thinking and directions for further research in applied linguistics by bringing together in a single volume a range of perspectives regarding original research agendas and innovative methodological approaches. It focuses not only on the challenges that applied linguistics researchers have been facing in recent years but also on producing workable and productive research designs and on identifying ways of how alternatives to conventional research methodologies can be used. Discussions featured in the volume include the so-called ‘Bilingual Advantage’ in psycho- and neurolinguistics; the optimal starting age debate in foreign language learning; the growing interest among applied linguists in more nuanced and more complex (statistical) data analysis and the priority given to more descriptive and social approaches to linguistics rather than to theorising. The collection will be a useful reference and stimulus for students, researchers and professionals working in the areas of applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, second language acquisition and second language education.
