[Linganth] New Book Announcement - Greek in Minortized Contexts

[Matthew John Hadodo]

Dear Colleagues,

Apologies in advance for cross-posting. I am proud to share on behalf of my
co-editors Petros Karatsareas and Elena Ioannidou a new edited volume as
part of Routledge's Critical Studies in Multilingualism Series.

This volume examines constructions of Greekness and Greek-speakerhood in
geographical and sociohistorical contexts where Greek speakers are
minoritized, and Greek is not hegemonic.

Authors explore the sociolinguistic outcomes that arise from
minoritisation, distant and more recent history, migration, and the
proliferation of digital technologies for communication in the 21st
century. Set against the backdrops of Albania, Australia, Canada, Cyprus,
Sweden, Turkey, and the UK, the volume chapters consider the
manifestations, conceptualisations, and negotiations of linguistic
authenticity; the construction of identities; and the impact of
institutions such as Greek language schools as well as families on local
sociolinguistic landscapes and dynamics. Particular attention is given to
the confrontations between competing language forms, practices, and
repertoires resulting from the contact between standardised and
non-standardised varieties of Greek as well as to communities that are
distant from the influence of institutions where Standard Greek or other
local Greek norms prevail.

The book is of interest to academic specialists and graduate students in
sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, bi-/multilingualism, diaspora
studies, linguistic anthropology, linguistic ethnography, social
interaction, language contact, and language and culture – with a special
focus on Greek.
