Call for Papers:

Urban Multilingualism: Revisiting the relationship between language
and social variation in Greece

Special issue edited by Angeliki Alvanoudi & Christopher Lees

This special issue aims to shed light on the relationship between
language variation and ethnicity in 21st century Greece, an area of
Greek sociolinguistics which has hitherto received little attention in
contrast to international research, particularly in the English
speaking world. Ethnic diversity frequently features in studies on
identity construction or racism (see Archakis 2020, Archakis & Tsakona
2021), but there is a lack of systematic sociolinguistic fieldwork
examining the linguistic repertoires of ethnic communities living in
Greece, as well as attitudes towards urban multilingualism. Notable
exceptions include the work of Chatzidaki & Maligkoudi (2013),
Gaintartzi, Chatzidaki & Tsokalidou (2014), Gogonas (2009), Gogonas &
Michail (2014), Ndoci (2023) and Panagiotatou (2021).

Greek society has traditionally subscribed to a monolingual ideology,
particularly regarding education and social policy. However, over the
last 30 years a number of historical, political and demographic
changes have had a significant effect on the sociolinguistic profile
of Greece's urban areas. In these new culutrally and linguistically
diverse contexts, linguists are compelled to examine aspects of
multilingualism in the form of ability, practice, stance, or ideology
(see Auer & Wei 2007, Baynham & Lee 2019, Blommaert 2010, 2013,
Blommaert & Backus 2013, Coulmas 2018, Duchêne & Heller 2012,
Pennycook 2010, 2021, among others).

The following research questions are of particular interest to
sociolinguistic research:
- What is the social distribution and use of the various languages
spoken in Greece? How does the public presence of these languages in
the linguistic landscapes of Greek cities help us to map their
geographical distribution and hierarchy in the local community?
- In large cities such as Athens and Thessaloniki, contexts of
language contact emerge, in which minority languages coexist with
Greek. What are the results of this contact, e.g. borrowing in migrant
language varieties, language crossing, translanguaging, and
translation?
- What stances do speakers of the minority and majority language(s)
have towards the languages spoken in local communities? How do these
stances, together with other social factors, affect language
maintenance and language shift?
- How does gender infiltrate the relationship between ethnicity and
language variation?
- How does linguistic nationalism in Greece become a tool for the
suppression and exclusion of minority groups, as well as a mechanism
for social choice, and encroachment on language rights?
- What is the emerging relationship between political economy and
language in 21st century Greece?

We invite submissions of original papers, theoretical or empirical,
written in either Greek or English, which are related to any of the
above subject areas. Papers should ideally use methods from the
sociology of language, critical sociolinguistics, language contact,
discourse analysis, and ethnography. Submissions from early career
researchers are particularly encouraged. Such submissions should
attempt to show how the developing international interest in urban
multilingualism can be applied to the Greek context.

Deadline for article abstract submission: 1st October 2023
(aalvanoudi at enl.auth.gr & clees at uoi.gr) (length: 400-500 words)
