Some PapersTerritoriality and Language Freedom: the Bridging and Barrier Function of the Principles of Territoriality and Language freedom in Multilingual Switzerland
|
My interests in the interrelation of language and society have been the following:
- Multilingualism,
especially
- models for communication in mutilingual communities like Switzerland and Europe
- language repertoires of multilingual people
- the politics and policies relating to the building up of such repertoires and intra-community communication
- English as a language of wider communication
especially
- its status in various communities
- its use in various types of language
- Language Varieties,
- their linguistic shapes and their use by various groups of speakers
- the notion of "typolect"
- Graffiti Language
- Sexist Language
- Attitudes towards language stereotypes
