How local conditions affect global banking: the case of BBVA and Santander

2021

This paper explores why Spanish banks internationalize and why Latin America has been the main region for the international expansion of BBVA and Santander. It shows that prior to 1986 Spanish banks had a limited presence abroad, and analyses the main drivers of this initial expansion (remittances and trade connections). However, from 1986 on, there was a confluence of domestic and external factors (economic and regulatory changes in Latin America) that encouraged the international forays of BBVA and Santander. The fact that changes in the Spanish and Latin American financial sectors occurred just when other transnational banks were turning their attention to other regions created the optim…

La lingua franca del Mediterraneo. Aspetti storici e prospettive sociolinguistiche

2018

Lo studio intende tracciare un quadro storico-sociolinguistico dell'antica lingua franca, dalla sua nascita fino agli eventi sociali che ne hanno determinato l’estinzione. Più nel particolare, nella prima parte verranno discusse le spinose questioni terminologiche che evidenziano uno scarso accordo riguardo tanto all’oggetto di studio quanto alle denominazioni per designalo. Nella seconda parte verranno messi a fuoco i fattori storico-linguistici dai quali si sviluppa il pidgin e gli aspetti più chiaramente connessi alla sua variazione, proponendo inoltre un modello sociolinguistico che cercherà di riassumere gli elementi via via evidenziati. Infine, si affronteranno gli aspetti più peculia…

Identity construction in ELF contexts: a case study of Finnish engineering students working in Germany

2010

This paper explores connections between identity and language use in lingua franca contexts by investigating identity construction among Finnish users of English as revealed in interviews conducted both before and after a period spent in Germany. The focus is on the users' own stories of their language use and learning, and on the discursive construction of identities. The study draws on poststructuralist theories of identity construction, combining them with research that focuses on language learners' identity construction or on identity issues in contexts with English as a lingua franca. This paper illustrates how language users actively draw on different discourses in constructing their …

Commodifying Sami culture in an indigenous tourism site

2014

Cultural tourism has become an alternative economic activity in many indigenous sites, and local tourist providers compete globally by commodifying their culture in an efficient, attractive manner. This process is not however a straightforward one, because of the need to manage both the multilingual context and the interaction between host and tourists, and this can lead to tensions for all parties. We examine a Reindeer Farm in the indigenous language space of Samiland. Based on a long-term ethnography, we identify different scripts which are used within the tourist encounter to pre-empt and manage tensions around the legitimacy of the host, the collusion and cooperation between host and t…

Youth language in media contexts: insights into the functions of English in Finland

2007

ABSTRACT:  Recent research has shown that the role of English in Finland is now changing. In particular contexts, it is sometimes used as a lingua franca, an intracultural means of communication, and an additional language, along with Finnish. An interesting domain in terms of the spread and changing role of English is also youth language – the focus of the present paper. Approaching youth language from a discourse-analytic and sociolinguistic perspective, this paper investigates an electronic game session, hip-hop lyrics, fan fiction and weblogs. As in youth language in other bi/multilingual speech communities, the paper argues that the uses of English in these Finnish youth language conte…

The Lithuanian "have" - resultative - a typological curiosum?

2012

ABSTRACT Björn Wiemer. The Lithuanian HAVE-resultative - A Typological Curiosum? Lingua Posnaniensis, vol. LIV (2)/2012. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. PL ISSN 0079-4740, ISBN 978-83-7654-252-2, pp. 69-81. This article presents the Lithuanian possessive resultative construction with the verb turėti ‘have’ and discusses its place in a typology of forms of resultative constructions. While possessive resultatives with a past passive participle (as in Polish Kolację mamy już przygotowaną lit. ‘We have the dinner already prepared’) are found in areally related as well as other languages, Lithuanian stands out in using an active participle (more precisely: a part…
