Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Investigating linguistic landscapes (LLs) has primarily been a matter of assessing language use in public signage. In its early days research in the field focused largely on quantitative analysis and typically drew direct relations between the prevalence (or absence) of languages in the public signs of an LL and the ethnolinguistic vitality of such languages.

  • Wellerism Proverbs: Mapping Their Distribution by Peter Unseth, Daniel Kliemt, Laurel Morgan, Stephen Nelson, Elaine Marie Scherrer1 Email: Pete [email protected]
    GIALens 2017 Volume 11, No. 3 Wellerism proverbs: Mapping their distribution by Peter Unseth, Daniel Kliemt, Laurel Morgan, Stephen Nelson, Elaine Marie Scherrer1 email: [email protected] The tentative nature of the conclusions set forth here should be evident to the reader. (Greenberg 1963: 58) One of the many fascinating aspects of the study of folklore is the determination of the geographical distribution of the various forms of folklore. Some forms may be universal; some limited to specific culture areas… the initial task is clearly to ascertain whether specific major and minor genres of folklore are in fact limited by cultural boundaries. In the cases of the Wellerism … the geographical distribution has not yet been accurately established. (Dundes 1964: 113) Abstract: Wellerism proverbs have been collected from many languages, but very little has been written on the distribution of these types of sayings geographically. This paper is a first attempt to map the broad distribution of this type of proverb and finds an absence of them in eastern Asia. Key words: proverb, wellerism, proverb distribution 1. Introduction Scholars have been consciously aware of wellerism proverbs as a class for over 150 years (A. Taylor 1962: 201, 202 and references there). A wellerism “is normally made up of three parts: 1) a statement (which often consists of a proverb or proverbial phrase); 2) a speaker who makes this remark; and [often] 3) a phrase that places the utterance into an unexpected, contrived situation” (Litovkina & Mieder 2006:20, see also Mieder 2004: 15). For example, “A woman unable to dance said, ‘The drum is defective’” (from Telugu, Bhuvaneswar 2012: 41).

  • Critical Perspectives on Language Planning and Policy in Africa: Accounting for the Notion of Multilingualism
    Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics PLUS, Vol. 38, 2009, 1-11 doi: 10.5842/38-0-50 Critical perspectives on language planning and policy in Africa: Accounting for the notion of multilingualism Felix Banda Linguistics Department, University of the Western Cape, Private Bag X17, Bellville 7535, South Africa E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper draws on the notion of multilingualism as social practice (Heller 2007) to critique postcolonial language planning and policies in Africa. Drawing on illustrations from Ethnologue 's (2009) languages of Africa, studies on language planning and policy in Africa, and recent developments in harmonisation of cross-border language research (Prah 1998; Banda 2008), the paper argues that there are distortions in the conceptualisation of multilingualism and what it entails in Africa's socio-cultural contexts. In turn, the paper faults monolingual biases in the notions and models used to describe and promote multilingualism in Africa, which mirror descriptions of the language situation in Western socio-cultural contexts. The paper argues for cross-linguistic and cross-border status and corpus planning to take advantage of multilingualism as a linguistic resource for socio- economic development in Africa. The paper concludes by highlighting the prospects for linguistic repertoire-based multilingual models for language planning and policy in Africa. Keywords : multilingualism, language policy, linguistic repertoire, urbanization, postcolonial 1. Introduction The aim of the paper is to critique the monolingual characterisation that has informed language planning and policy in Africa. This entails an exploration of the utility of certain language planning and policy pronouncements, as well as models arising out of these.

Though only one of seventy or so languages spoken in Ethi- opia, Amharic has been the language of the court and the dominant population group in Highland Ethiopia. Amharic belongs to the Semitic family of languages and as such is related to Arabic and Hebrew. Whilst many of the grammatical forms is reminiscent of the latter languages, the sentence structure (syntax) is very different and has more in common with the non-Semitic languages of Ethiopia.

  • WIDER Working Paper 2016/78
    WIDER Working Paper 2016/78 Discriminatory attitudes and indigenous language promotion Challenges and solutions Rajesh Ramachandran1 and Christopher Rauh2 June 2016 Abstract: In this paper, we analyse which channels influence individual preferences concerning the choice of the official language in Zambia. We develop a theoretical framework, which is tested using data on elicited beliefs about the effects of changes in Zambia's language policy on schooling outcomes, income, and social cohesion. In general, support for the use of local languages in education and government administration is low. We find that the perceived ease of learning in a local language compared to English, and economic expectations in terms of effects on income are important determinants of the preference for the use of a local language as official language. Individuals in fear of discrimination or disadvantages arising from the use of indigenous language are less likely to prefer these as official languages. However, while we do not find a systematic bias caused by the (lack of ) information about other countries' language policies, we do find that general knowledge of language policies is remarkably low. Our reading of the evidence is that individuals conflate knowledge with the medium of knowledge, and therefore prefer English as an official language despite its relative distance to their own language(s). Keywords: language policy, Zambia, discrimination, beliefs, education policy, minorities, fractionalization, local languages Acknowledgements: We would like to thank the participants of the Development lunch seminar at Goethe University Frankfurt, David Laitin, and the discussant Subha Mani, and other participants at the UNU-WIDER workshop in Helsinki for their valuable feedback.

  • Grounding Innovative Promotion of Literacy in Local Funds of Knowledge1
    Grounding Innovative Promotion of Literacy in Local Funds of Knowledge1 Robert Serpell Psychology Department, University of Zambia Abstract Literacy can be understood as a cultural practice comparable to other cultural practices such as story-telling, song and dance. In that theoretical framework, the process of individual literacy learning involves the appropriation of constructs and rules that inform recurrent cultural activities. The sociolinguistic character of the Zambian society includes both societal linguistic diversity and individual multilingualism. Within this context, an innovative application of instructional technology to initial literacy learning was launched in Zambia, under the auspices of the Centre for Promotion of Literacy in Sub-Saharan Africa (CAPOLSA). Evaluation of its local effectiveness has included field-testing of an interactive digital letter-sound correspondence game on various platforms, teacher orientation, composition and distribution of child-friendly texts in several Bantu languages. Ramifications of the programme include the challenge of orthographic harmonization. The paper highlights the importance of integrating new technology with indigenous cultural resources in the designing of appropriate, effective and sustainable educational practices in Africa. Key words: cultural practices, multilingualism, primary schooling, initial literacy learning, Zambia Introduction Curriculum and instruction specialists bent on promoting literacy in Zambia and elsewhere in Africa have recognised the importance of the

  • Footprints of Caliban: Appropriation of English in Selected African Fictional Texts
    Footprints of Caliban: Appropriation of English in Selected African Fictional Texts Cheela Himutwe K. Chilala Prolegomenon This paper is concerned with the appropriation of the English lan- guage by African fiction writers. The paper refers to appropriation as Calibanisation—a term derived from the name of Caliban, the monster character who is disinherited and enslaved by Prospero in Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest. Caliban uses the European language taught to him by Prospero to resist the oppressor. This paper explores how some African writers have appropriated the English language to create an Africanised English. Some of the best examples of such appropriation of the English language are the fictional works of Chinua Achebe, especially Things Fall Apart. The paper also explores the use of the appropriation device in two Zambian fictional works: Before Dawn by Andreya Masiye, and The Chosen Bud by John Luangala. Few fictional characters have attracted as much debate as Caliban, the monster character of Shakespeare’s play, The Tem- pest.1 At the heart of this debate has been the contention by some schools of thought that Caliban’s experience is metonymic of the experiences of the colonised at the hands of the colonisers. They proceed from the premise that the relationship between Caliban and his master, Propero is a paradigm of imperialism.2 In this regard it may be argued that Caliban’s hostile attitude towards his master, Prospero, epitomizes one of the tools of resistance to, and subversion of, the colonial enterprise. More specifically, Caliban’s resistance is characterised by the appropriation of the master’s language, which, as Lamming argues, is one of the means by which Prospero colonises Caliban.3 Postcolonial literature, as exhibited on the African continent, is in part characterised by the appropria- tion of the colonial languages—in particular English—to carry the burden of the African spirit and culture.
