Sociolinguistics and the Narrative Turn
In proposing the use of an alternative method for generating knowledge in the field of sociolinguistics, this book presents a fresh point of view. To introduce his argument, the author gives a well-considered critique of some of the guiding principles of traditional sociolinguists. Then, conducting a small-scale study involving seven participants, he shows how a qualitative narrative approach can renew the theorisation of the relationship between language and society.
Enhancing Democratic Systems
It is in Mauritius that the first newspaper of the African continent was published. Annonces, Affiches et Avis Divers was created in 1773 by the French administration for the islands of Mauritius and Reunion. Since its independence from Britain in 1968, Mauritius has known a very rich media history with an impressive number of publications and a relatively good level of press freedom. However, many challenges remain. Confrontational episodes in the relationship of the local media with the political sphere, the rise of sensationalist journalism, increased concentration of ownership in the industry as well as market uncertainties have taken their toll on a profession which often prides itself ...
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...
Little India
Examining an example of linguistic plurality on the island of Mauritius, where more than two-thirds of the population is of Indian ancestry, this study focuses on the formation of diaspora as mediated through the cultural phenomenon of Indian ancestral languages - principally Hindi, which is used in religious contexts.
Manual of Romance Languages in Africa
With more than two thousand languages spread over its territory, multilingualism is a common reality in Africa. The main official languages of most African countries are Indo-European, in many instances Romance. As they were primarily brought to Africa in the era of colonization, the areas discussed in this volume are thirty-five states that were once ruled by Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, or Spain, and the African regions still belonging to three of them. Twenty-six states are presented in relation to French, four to Italian, six to Portuguese, and two to Spanish. They are considered in separate chapters according to their sociolinguistic situation, linguistic history, external language policy, linguistic characteristics, and internal language policy. The result is a comprehensive overview of the Romance languages in modern-day Africa. It follows a coherent structure, offers linguistic and sociolinguistic information, and illustrates language contact situations, power relations, as well as the cross-fertilization and mutual enrichment emerging from the interplay of languages and cultures in Africa.
Bridging Linguistics and Economics
By bridging the gap between linguistics and economics, this book sheds light on a range of mutually valuable topics.

Situations d'hétérogénéité linguistique en milieu scolaire
Les travaux rassemblés dans ce volume peuvent être compris comme une approche sociolinguistique d’une question qui traverse l’ensemble des systèmes éducatifs : comment prendre en compte l’hétérogénéité des apprenants ?Cette question est étudiée sur des terrains divers, de la Haute-Normandie à l’Île Maurice en passant par la Côte d’Ivoire et Madagascar, de l’enseignement primaire à l’université en passant par le collège, le lycée et les classes de français langue étrangère.Cela permet de mettre en évidence les facteurs d’hétérogénéité des répertoires langagiers, les dynamiques en présence et les représentations associées à ces réper-toires : maintien ou déperdition des langues minoritaires (issues de l’immigration, régionales), plurilinguisme, plurilectalisme. Cela permet aussi d’examiner les pro-cédures d’évaluation de l’hétérogénéité linguistique et les choix faits par les insti-tutions en matière de langue(s) et de norme(s).
L’INTERCULTUREL : QUELS DÉFIS ET PROBLÉMATIQUES AUX NIVEAUX EUROPÉEN ET INTERNATIONAL ?
Gli articoli contenuti in questo volume sono i contributi proposti in due convegni organizzati nel 2017 al Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione dell’Università Roma Tre e all’ISFEC d’Aquitaine, a Bordeaux. Questi due incontri internazionali sono stati l’occasione per affrontare diversi aspetti di una tematica al cuore della riflessione educativa contemporanea, a partire proprio dalle questioni lessicali poste dalla sua definizione: l’interculturalità. Studiosi appartenenti a contesti geografici e disciplinari differenti hanno analizzato alcune manifestazioni di questo fenomeno, proponendo il proprio punto di vista allo scopo di approfondire le sfide che la dimensione intercul...
