Lingvistiskās ainavas valodas pārvaldība Latvijā: no teorijas līdz metalingvistiskām sarunām par valodas situāciju publiskajā telpā
2018
Lingvistiskā ainava kā viena no rakstveida valodas funkcionalitātes jomām ir būtiska valodu lietojuma organizēšanas, īstenošanas un izzināšanas platforma. Tās publiskums ir viens no iemesliem, kādēļ sabiedrībā sporādiski tiek izvērstas metalingvistiskas sarunas par valodu lietojuma atbilsmi literārās valodas normām un Valsts valodas likumam. Rakstam ir divi mērķi. Teorētiskais mērķis ir aplūkot valodas pārvaldības teoriju kā metalingvistisko darbību modeli citu valodas politikas un plānošanas izpētes pieeju kontekstā. Savukārt praktiskais mērķis ir parādīt, kā valodas pārvaldības teorētiskais modelis var tikt izmantots atsevišķu gadījumu izpētei. Rakstā vispirms ir aplūkotas četras pieejas …

Transitivity prominence within and across modalities
2020
The idea of transitivity as a scalar phenomenon is well known (e.g., Hopper & Thompson 1980; Tsunoda 1985; Haspelmath 2015). However, as with most areas of linguistic study, it has been almost exclusively studied with a focus on spoken languages. A rare exception to this is Kimmelman (2016), who investigates transitivity in Russian Sign Language (RSL) on the basis of corpus data. Kimmelman attempts to establish a transitivity prominence hierarchy of RSL verbs, and compares this ranking to the verb meanings found in the ValPal database (Hartmann, Haspelmath & Bradley 2013). He arrives at the conclusion that using the frequency of overt objects in corpus data is a successful measure o…
Language, (em)power(ment) and affective capitalism : the case of an entrepreneurship workshop for refugees in Germany
2022
Abstract This paper seeks to advance research on the nexus of language, work-related training and affective capitalism by focusing on an entrepreneurship workshop organized for newly arrived refugees in Germany. Despite the occupational orientation, the primary objective of the workshop was not establishing a business but “empowering” the participants by guiding them to adopt “an entrepreneurial mindset”. To delve deeper into this ‘will to empower’, the study brings together the perspectives of governmentality studies, ethnography, discourse studies and affect studies. To investigate in more detail the evocation of the ‘entrepreneurial mindset’, the study draws on ethnographic data collecte…
Introduction : language, work and affective capitalism
2022
Abstract This special issue contributes to scholarship on language and affective economy by exploring the role played by affect in shaping work and workers under current configurations of capitalism. We take as a starting point the observation of increased valorisation and instrumentalisation of affect in the contemporary phase of capitalism. In this editorial introduction to the special issue, we set the scene by first outlining our questions, aims and objectives. Subsequently, we situate the contribution made by this issue in a larger social theorisation of affect and capitalism, particularly the notion of affective capitalism, and reflect on how this theorisation can contribute to sociol…
Language ideological landscapes for students in university language policies: inclusion, exclusion, or hierarchy
2022
Many universities in non-English speaking countries have been adopting English as a medium of instruction to internationalize their education. We set out to compare the language policies of a Finnish and a Japanese university using the lens of language ideology – a set of normative beliefs about the social dimension of language. Data were collected from selected documents of the two universities, and analyzed utilizing critical discursive psychology. This social constructionist approach allows mapping out language ideological landscapes – interrelationships among different co-occurring language ideologies – from which students may draw ideas about how they orient themselves towards their pe…
Participation in sociolinguistic research
2022
Involving speakers in research on their linguistic practices has been at the core of sociolinguistics since the inception of the field. In contrast to social sciences, however, sociolinguists have rarely addressed the issues surrounding the participation of those involved and engaged in the research process. This paper aims at reviewing the state of the art and outlining critical dimensions and aspects with relation to participation. We explore previous studies and study designs with the help of the following questions: Who has been involved? How and with what impact have stakeholders participated in different strands of sociolinguistic research? Current developments are presented and revie…
