Reader in Czech Sociolinguistics
Although in Czechoslovakia sociolinguistics is not institutionalized, some results and approaches of Czech linguistics appear to be sociolinguistic, and that from the viewpoint of other linguistic and scientific traditions in general. The socio-component' of Czech linguistics took shape as early as between the two world wars in the activity of the Prague Linguistic School, and is influenced in a positive way also by a contemporary philosophico-ideological climate. The contents of the present volume include contributions of prominent Czech linguists, especially research workers from academic and university institutions. The papers concentrate on four general subjects: 1) methodological problems, 2) the theory of standard language and language culture, 3) presentation of the linguistic situation in Czechoslovakia, 4) communication in small social groups. All papers are written in English. The volume is primarily intended for those concerned with general linguistics, sociolinguistics, Slavonic studies and Czech studies.
Studies in Functional Stylistics
The 15 contributions in the present collection can be divided roughly into three groups: (1) Papers directly following up functional stylistics and the theory of language culture, elaborated in the classical period of the Prague Linguistic School. (2) Papers concerning the problems of style in a wider communicative arena. These contributions are closely related to contemporary text linguistics and also deal with problems involving psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and semiotics. (3) Papers having, at least in some part, a pronounced historiographic character. These contributions reflect the fact that contemporary Czech linguistic research is firmly anchored in the Prague linguistic tradition. Although the authors' frame of reference is mainly Czech and the current language situation in the Czech Republic, the majority of contributions were intended to have a more general linguistic character and general linguistic validity.
Handbook of Language & Ethnic Identity
This volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the connection between language and ethnicity.
The Language Management Approach
The volume reflects the variety of methods used in the study of "behavior toward language", or language management. The methods will appeal to researchers interested in different types of introspective interview methodology and discourse analysis, and to those looking for ways of linking language policy to everyday social interactions.
Functionalism in Linguistics
This volume offers a variety of viewpoints on the functional approach to the study of language. After an exposition of the Prague School functionalism, and Dik's and Halliday's functional approaches, it presents a wider area of text-linguistic, psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, theoretical, descriptive and applied issues from a functional point of view, testifying of the very wide-spread and in-depth impact of functionalist thought on the present-day linguistic scene.
Handbuch der deutschen Sprachminderheiten in Mittel- und Osteuropa
Dieses Handbuch bietet ausführliche und aktuelle Informationen über die gegenwärtige Situation der deutschsprachigen Minderheiten in den Ländern Mittel- und Osteuropas. Dabei werden in einer Zusammenschau sowohl die Sprachinselminderheiten als auch die Minderheiten an den Rändern des geschlossenen deutschen Sprachgebiets in den Blick genommen. In sieben Länderartikeln wird jeweils ein Überblick über Demographie, Geschichte sowie politische und rechtliche Lage der Minderheiten gegeben. Auf der Basis neuer, eigener Erhebungen wird für jedes Land eine Dokumentation der Kompetenz- und Sprachgebrauchssituation, eine Beschreibung und Analyse der soziolinguistischen Situation mit ihren je spezifischen Standard-Substandard-Verteilungen und eine Untersuchung der Spracheinstellungen der Sprecher geboten.
Krajané v Chorvatsku a jejich jazykové biografie
Česká menšina žije na území dnešního Chorvatska už více než dvě stě let, přesto je stále vitální a odolává asimilaci. Co ji odlišuje od jiných menšin? Co způsobilo, že ani po tak dlouhé době nedošlo k asimilaci jejích příslušníků s majoritním obyvatelstvem? Protože za jeden ze základních rysů identity jedince i skupiny bývá označován jazyk, do jaké míry je pro krajany při vnímání vlastní identity důležitá čeština? Zamýšlejí se nad svým životem mezi dvěma či více jazyky, nad výhodami i nevýhodami vícejazyčného prostředí? Na základě čeho se rozhodují, který z jazyků užít v které situaci? A jaký mají ke „svým“ ...

The Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Around the World
Drawing on examples from a wide range of languages and social settings, The Routledge Handbook of Sociolinguistics Around the World was originally the first single-volume collection surveying the current research trends in international sociolinguistics. This new edition has been comprehensively updated and significantly expanded, and now includes more than 50 chapters written by leading authorities and a brand-new substantial introduction by John Edwards. Coverage has been expanded regionally and there is a critical focus on Indigenous languages. This handbook remains a key tool to help widen the perspective on sociolinguistics to readers interested in the field. Divided into sections cover...
