The bimodal nature of discourse - how speech and gesture achieve cohesion across languages, genres, and native/non-native users

In this talk I will briefly outline how speech and gestures are coordinated in language production to achieve discourse cohesion in native speakers of different languages and in adult second language speakers. Discourse coherence and cohesion involves linking information about entities and events across stretches of sustained talk. In speech this involves alternations between nominal forms (e.g. the woman–she), the choice of which depend on referent properties (e.g. gender), grammatical role (e.g. subject/object), and information status (e.g. new/given; distance to previous mention, etc.), but also on grammatical structures in which referential expressions are embedded (e.g. existential vs. transitive clauses). I will illustrate some ways in which gestures also reflect discourse organisation, information structure and the tracking of entities and events. I will highlight when, where, and how gestures do this across different languages and discourse genres, and also show variations in how native speakers and language learners deploy these devices. I finally discuss some theoretical consequences of considering discourse in a bimodal perspective.

Language, culture and identity: proximity and positioning in academic writing

Identity and community are central to notions of culture and are key organizing principles of our social worlds. In academia we create disciplinary communities by choosing our words to connect with others, presenting ideas in ways that make most sense to them to demonstrate ‘proximity’ by claiming membership. At the same time, we gain credit by distinguishing ourselves from the herd, furthering our reputations and careers by our different ‘positioning’ within the discipline. Repeated uses of language thus construct communities and encourage the performance of certain kinds of professional identities. In this paper I attempt to show how corpora, assisted by community-oriented views of literacy, can illuminate the concepts of community and identity, demonstrating how language choices not only construct arguments but also disciplines and individuals.

Revitalization of Slovak regional dialects from the perspective of perceptual and folk dialectology

The Slovak language area is characterized by a very rich dialect differentiation, which has been – thanks to various non-linguistic factors – to some extent preserved and commonly perceived until now. However, in the context of the current linguistic situation, dialects exist in close contact with the prestigious standard, dynamic colloquial and many other social varieties and registers. This results in structural changes of the dialects, code mixing, and shifting in communication as well as in the dialect levelling. These processes are manifested by large variation typical for transitional stages of convergent and assimilation processes, and by gradual, appreciable retreat of specific dialectal features. The communication function of dialects and their frequency in everyday communication is gradually decreasing.  Alongside with the decreasing the communication function of dialects, a new phenomenon has emerged in the last 10-15 years in Slovakia. Dialects started to be deliberately used in many spheres of public communication. In addition to private communication, folklore and fiction from the rural environment, dialects now appear in popular or rap music, regional theatres, sitcoms or stand-up performances. Dialects are presented on regional and village websites, they are intentionally used in online discussions and chats. Some cultural organizations promote dialects in their printed or electronic media, using dialects authors create original literary works or translations of national or even world classics (such as Shakespeare’s works or Poe’s The Raven), inscriptions in the local dialect can be found in the commercial sphere (advertisements, restaurant’s menu or simple announcements for the public) or in language landscape. During the last two decades, many amateur dialectological descriptive works appeared, e.g. regional dictionaries, structural descriptions, or even handbooks and dialect “courses”. Authors of these works are non-professional linguists – people not spoiled by theoretical linguistic knowledge.  On the one hand, this empirical material can be regarded as “unnatural”, “incorrect” or “unreliable” for dialectological research, especially for traditional dialectology and its – to some extent – purist historical approach. On the other hand, they reveal many facts about folk linguistic knowledge, natural language perception, language myths, as well as popular notions of the geographical differentiation, attitudes towards regional varieties and beliefs about their users, which are often connected with stereotypes and social discrimination. But all of them explicitly or implicitly refer to the symbolic, emotional and cultural value of a regional dialect as a sign of identity. Typological analysis of various genres and spheres led us to differentiate two categories. The use of dialects in the commercial sphere, jokes, in the media and discussions (including public discourse on language and dialect) corresponds with the results of perceptual dialectology, of the “draw-a-map” research and popular modelling of the dialect space. Amateur dictionaries, structural descriptions of dialects, literary works, handbooks and courses resemble traditional dialectological research, but without academic linguistic knowledge, so they are categorized as folk (amateur) dialectology. The authors carry out field research, create their own spellings, grammatical rules or lexicographical conceptions. Thus, they reveal their linguistic thinking, presupposition about language, identify the salient and non-salient dialect features, and contribute to the research of language use and change.  The presentation will summarize the results of my research on these forms of dialect revitalization and introduce their potential to contribute to the study of language change, perception of language varieties and linguistic ideologies.  

Poučavanje hrvatske kulture u međukulturnome kontekstu

Suvremeni globalizirani svijet i život u njemu, posebno činjenica da su informacije korisnicima brzo i lako dohvatljive, postavljaju nove kriterije i zahtjeve u poučavanju kulture, kako hrvatske tako i drugih. Kao i u drugim predmetima, tako se i u poučavanju kulture napušta transmisijska uloga nastave u kojoj je uloga poučavatelja prenošenje informacija te se prihvaćaju načini poučavanja koji više angažiraju samoga učenika te se u nastavnome procesu stvaraju uvjeti u kojima učenici samostalno otkrivaju, uče, informiraju se, zaključuju te artikuliraju vlastite stavove.

Jednostavna dostupnost informacija čini da studenti hrvatskoga kao inoga jezika (HIJ-a), kako na hrvatskim tako i na inozemnim sveučilištima, ulaze u proces učenja jezika razmjerno dobro informirani i s već izgrađenim očekivanjima i stavovima. Zbog toga se svaki pokušaj „oblikovanja“ njihovih stavova nastavnim sadržajima i sredstvima poučavanja doživljava kao podcjenjivanje. Zbog toga poučavanje kulture u nastavi HIJ-a treba biti takvo da omogućuje sagledavanje odabranih tema iz različitih rakursa, čime se studente potiče na vlastito zaključivanje. Takvo poučavanje otvara vrata obrazovanju za razvijanje kritičkoga mišljenja, a zatvara vrata indoktrinaciji.

 Suvremeno se poučavanje kulture u nastavi HIJ-a našlo u raskoraku između sadržaja i načina koje poučavatelji smatraju korisnima i primjerenima te onih za koje među studentima postoji najveći interes. U izlaganju će biti predstavljeni rezultati ispitivanja stavova provedenoga upitnikom s 80 ispitnih čestica o poučavanju različitih segmenata hrvatske kulture učenika (N=155) i poučavatelja HIJ-a (N=35) različitim postupcima. Rezultati tog istraživanja analizirat će se kako bi poslužili kao izvor informacija izvoditeljima akademske nastave HIJ-a te autorima akademskih udžbenika, programa, silaba i kolegija.

Teme za koje studenti pokazuju najviše interesa rezultat su njihova prethodnoga obrazovanja i informiranosti, a nastava kulture treba im omogućiti razvijanje i produbljivanje postojećih spoznaja, ali i otkrivanje i upoznavanje nova područja. Zato se u izradi programa za poučavanje treba pronaći ekvilibrij između onoga što studente zanima (mjesta na kolegijima za koje ne postoji interes ostat će nepopunjena) i onoga što poučavatelji smatraju važnim. Osim što uče o hrvatskoj kulturi, studente treba poticati da je uspoređuju s drugim kulturama s kojima su upoznati. Na taj se način poučavanje čini divergentnim jer se na nastavi stječu spoznaje ne samo o hrvatskoj već i o drugoj kulturi (ako je riječ o poučavanju u homogenim skupinama) ili drugim kulturama (ako je riječ o poučavanju u heterogenim skupinama).

Language rights and politics of identity in Croatia and European Union:  The status of Istro-Romanian in Istria 

In my talk I will examine the ideological and policy reasons behind the problematic legal status of the Istro-Romanian language (aka Vlashki and Zheyanski; ISO 639-3: ruo, Glottolog: istr1245) in Croatia in the context of European policies toward regional or minority languages (RMLs) and minority language policies in Croatia (Tatalović 2005, Crnić Grotić 2019). My claim is that the language rights of the minority communities speaking the language are not duly protected and, hence, the existing European Union policies toward RMLs not fully implemented in Croatia (Vrzić 2021). To a significant extent, this is due to an ideological disparity between the conceptions of identity embraced by the linguistic minority speaking Vlashki/Zheyanski and those promoted by Croatia, which accords protection rights only to languages of national minorities.  The linguistic minority is fully integrated into the regional Istrian society, embraces complex and multilayered identities, with the local ethnic identity, associated with a distinct language, and the Istrian regional cultural identity being complementary to a non-primordial Croatian national identity (Vrzić 2018). On the other hand, proponents of the nationalist ideology and linguistic isomorphism consider that a distinct community language is necessarily tied to a distinct national identity, a position very common in Europe (Blommaert and Verschueren 1992). The support for this attitude is exemplified by Croatia’s limited legal protection of the endangered Vlashki/Zheyanski language, at the disregard of the recommendations of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML) (Council of Europe 1992), the document that the state ratified. Croatia withholds full protection and preservation of the endangered language because Vlashki/Zheyanski-speaking communities do not have a status of an officially recognized national minority. In connection to this, I also discuss the position and activities of Romania, the self-proclaimed kin state, and illustrate that state’s attitudes toward linguistic minorities and their rights on the example of the Romanian Law No. 299/2007. This laws unilaterally identifies communities speaking Vlashki/Zheyanski, as it does numerous other minority groups speaking languages historically related to Romanian, as a part of the Romanian diaspora, irrespective of their self-identification and histories. In line with their ideological and legal positions, in the 2010’s, the two states, Croatia and Romania, put pressure on communities where Vlashki/Zheyanski is still spoken today and colluded (unsuccessfully at the time) to integrate them into the national minority framework and bilateral protection exchange between the two states. Just one of the controversial elements of this plan was to introduce the teaching of standard Romanian in the communities, in spite of the detrimental effect this would very likely have on the preservation of their endangered minority language for which protection is required by the ECRML.  

Hence, so far, the possibility of full protection and preservations of the group’s endangered language has been curtailed. Among others, this situation is enabled by the various indeterminacies characterizing the EU policies toward RMLs (cf. Gorter 2012, Vollstädt 2019). Namely, while the ECRML promises the preservation of RMLs, it lets the member states make most decisions, including those that have to do with the determination of the linguistic status of the protected varieties and identity of their speakers.
