Meeting Description:

In the last decades, small minority languages in Europe and their
multilingualism have repeatedly been the subject of comparative descriptions
(on German-speaking Minorities see a.o. Eichinger, Plewnia & Riehl 2008; Riehl
& Knipf-Komlósi 2011; Beyer & Plewnia 2021). In Italy, increasing attention
has been paid to this topic resulting in various research projects which have
investigated (a) the linguistic aspects of these languages from both a
theoretical and historical perspective, (b) how to maintain the language
through school teaching; (c) legal issues concerning the rights of the
minority communities. This workshop offers the opportunity to present the
results of this diverse research activity. Topics: Linguistics, German
studies, German-speaking minorities, language contact; Education in
German-based minority languages; Legal aspects and language policy for
German-speaking minorities. The workshop is organized in two main sections:
section 1., on 6th October, is dedicated to projects on the German-speaking
minorities in Italy from the above-mentioned thematic areas; section 2., on
7th October, will widen the perspective to German-speaking minorities in
Europe and around the world in relation to the same topics (a)-(c).

Negli ultimi decenni il tema delle piccole lingue di minoranza in Europa e del
multilinguismo che esse rappresentano è stato oggetto di diverse descrizioni
comparative (si vedano per le minoranze germanofone: Eichinger, Plewnia &
Riehl 2008; Plewnia & Riehl 2018; Beyer & Plewnia 2021). In Italia, sono stati
avviati diversi progetti e ricerche sulle lingue delle comunità alloglotte
germanofone. Le tematiche trattate vanno (i) dalla grammatica, lessico e
morfosintassi alla linguistica teorica e storica; (ii)
all’apprendimento/insegnamento della lingua di minoranza; (iii) ai diritti dei
parlanti delle lingue di minoranza e la sociolinguistica. Il presente
seminario si propone quale momento di confronto sulle comunità germanofone in
Italia e nel mondo. Temi: linguistica, germanistica, minoranze linguistiche
germanofone, contatto linguistico; apprendimento/insegnamento, promozione e
plurilinguismo con lingue di minoranza germanofone; prospettive
sociolinguistiche, giuridiche e di politica linguistica. Il workshop è
organizzato in due momenti: il 6 ottobre sarà dedicato alla discussione sulle
minoranze germanofone in Italia sui temi (i)-(iii),  il 7 ottobre aprirà lo
sguardo alle comunità di minoranza germanofone in Europa e nel mondo sugli
stessi temi.

In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten waren kleine Minderheitensprachen in Europa
und ihr Multilinguismus immer wieder Gegenstand komparatistischer
Beschreibungen (zu den deutschsprachigen Minderheiten vgl. u.a. Eichinger,
Plewnia & Riehl 2008; Riehl & Knipf-Komlósi 2011; Plewnia & Riehl 2018; Beyer
& Plewnia 2021). In Italien wurde diesem Thema innerhalb der Germanistik und
der Allgemeinen Linguistik zunehmende Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt, so dass
verschiedene Forschungsprojekte in die Wege geleitet wurden. Die inhaltliche
Spannweite reicht von der Erforschung der grammatischen Aspekte aus einer
sprachtheoretischer und -historischer Perspektive über die Förderung dieser
bedrohten Minderheitensprachen durch den schulischen Unterricht bis hin zu
rechtlichen Fragen. Der internationale Workshop bietet die Möglichkeit, die
Ergebnisse dieser vielfältigen Forschungstätigkeit zu präsentieren.
Themenbereiche: (a) Linguistik, Germanistik, deutschsprachige Minderheiten,
Sprachkontakt; (b) Förderung deutschsprachiger Minderheitensprachen durch
Unterricht und Schule; (c) Soziolinguistische, rechtliche und
sprachpolitischen durch Unterricht und Schule; Der Workshop hat zwei
Schwerpunkte: der erste Tag ist der Präsentation und Diskussion der Ergebnisse
von Forschungsprojekten über die deutschsprachigen Minderheiten in Italien,
der 7 Oktober hat als Schwerpunkt deutschsprachige Minderheiten in Europa und
in der Welt in Bezug auf die Themen (a)-(c).
