Abstract:

This leading team of scholars presents a fascinating book about change:
shifting political, economic and cultural conditions; ephemeral, sometimes
even seasonal, multilingualism; and altered imaginaries for minority and
indigenous languages and their users. The authors refer to this network of
interlinked changes as the new conditions surrounding small languages (Sámi,
Corsican, Irish and Welsh) in peripheral sites. Starting from the conviction
that peripheral sites can and should inform the sociolinguistics of
globalisation, the book explores how new modes of reflexivity, more
transactional frames for authenticity, commodification of peripheral
resources, and boundary-transgression with humour, all carry forward change.
These types of change articulate a blurring of binary oppositions between
centre and periphery, old and new, and standard and non-standard. Such
research is particularly urgent in multilingual small language contexts, where
different conceptualisations of language(s), boundaries, and speakers impact
on individuals' social, cultural, and economic capital, and opportunities.
   
1. Small languages in new circumstances?; 2. Reflexivity and small languages:
the 'meta' imperative in late modernity; 3. Conventional and transactional
authenticities in small-culture tourism; 4. Expanding possibilities for
commodification: luxury, mobility, visuality; 5. Transgression, small
languages, and changing boundaries; 6. A view from the periphery:
sociolinguistics, small languages and change.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
