RE: lgpolicy-list Digest, Vol 58, Issue 21<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
As someone who has done research on the sociolinguistics of
Ukraine and<br>
its relationship to educational practices, I just want to add
that the map<br>
Professor Schiffman has shared shows the general tendencies in
the country.<br>
However, there are also villages in eastern Ukraine where
Ukrainian is<br>
predominantly spoken. In fact, one of the main dialectal sources
of the<br>
Ukrainian language is Poltava, which is in "Yanukovych country."
In<br>
addition, there is a minority in cities in the east that
supports European<br>
integration, as evidenced by the demonstrations and toppling of
Lenin<br>
monuments. The parallel in the U.S. context is the difference
between<br>
red/blue state maps by state and by county. The key difference,
perhaps,<br>
is that Russophone Ukrainians are more likely to support
relationships<br>
with both Europe and Russia, whereas Ukrainian-speaking
nationalists in<br>
Western Ukraine reject any ideology that suggests Ukraine and
Russia are<br>
and should be connected.<br>
