From the origin of the human species to the contemporary world, a large proportion of the major events in world history are related to displacements of population from one region to other, for economic reasons, because of war, or merely for reasons of survival. The movement of people from one region to another is a process with a wide variety of economic, social, political, psychological, cultural, and linguistic consequences for individuals and societies alike. Migratory movements have reached unprecedented levels in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, in both quantitative and proportional t erms: according to the World Migration Report 2018, 740 million people had migrated within their own country of birth, while there were 244 million international migrants. However, figures aside, it is essential to study migration insofar as it has been linked to the phenomenon of globalization, and has therefore become a cornerstone of today’s society. This Special Issue, entitled ”Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to the Sociolinguistic Integration of Migration”, provides a forum for debate and analysis in the study of the relations between language and society when linguistic contact takes place as a result of migratory movements; it focuses particularly on how migration develops or favours the process of sociolinguistic integration. The volume contains a series of studies that contain theoretical approaches, models, and applications related to linguistic and sociolinguistic processes which place certain situations in contact as a consequence of migration. The chapter that opens the volume, ”The Sociolinguistic Integration of Immigrant Populations: Reflections on Its S tudy”, by Mar´ıa S ancho P ascual, is a r eflection on th e ro le th at th e linguistic dimension plays in the process of migrants’ sociolinguistic integration, based on the INMIGRA project to study the migrant population in the community of Madrid. Language plays a fundamental role in the process of constructing and redefining personal identity in the new c ontext. The models must also consider the population of the receiving society, which is generally the first determining factor in the process, in order to identify the changes caused by linguistic and cultural contact and to analyze them in depth. The study by Yara Perez´ Cantador, ”An Approach to Studying the Sociolinguistic Integration of Romanian Immigrants Residing in the Community of Madrid”, implements the models used in the INMIGRA project mentioned above. The author describes the methodology she uses to examine the process of sociolinguistic integration among the population of Romanian immigrants living in Madrid. The process is analyzed from a twofold perspective: semi-directed interviews and attitude questionnaires are used with the Romanian immigrant population, while attitude surveys are simultaneously performed on the population of Madrid. These two perspectives show acculturation processes followed by the two social groups in contact, and identify the factors that facilitate the process as well as anticipating those that hinder it. The next three studies specifically e xamine the role of l anguage in the c reation of i dentity in migratory contexts. The study by Mar´ıa Cecilia Ainciburu and Irene Butazzi, ”Esa No Soy Yo (”That’s not me”): Self-Image and Name Change from the Perspective of Female Immigrants”, focuses on a defining a spect of p ersonal i dentity: an i ndividual’s own n ame. In s ituations of migratory ix contact, a migrant’s name is very often modified, which can also lead to changes in the individual’s self-perception. The research examines interviews with Peruvian and Chinese migrants living in Italy. The situations range from changes against the migrant’s will (such as phonetic modifications and names that are not the same as the person’s birth name) or voluntary name changes to adapt them to Western norms (typical among the Chinese population). The results show that

They were wounded, hungry, and dehydrated, so Sonia Marmolejos acted on impulse and she did not expect to receive any special recognition for her generous gesture. The government of the Dominican Republic capitalized on this story, defined Sonia Marmolejos as a heroine, and used her actions as a metaphor to illustrate the charitable response of the country toward neighboring Haiti. Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island of Hispaniola and a history of colonialism which, however, has conjugated itself in very differ- ent ways. Officially under Spanish rule since 1493, the island was mostly left unpopulated for three-quarters of a century. In 1625 the French started to occupy parts of it (mainly in the north) and until the official recognition of the French colony of Saint-Domingue in 1777, they constantly pushed for- ward their unofficial borders, while the Spanish carried out punitive raids to eradicate the French presence. On the Spanish side, the economy was mainly livestock-based but the French developed an impressive network of planta- tions which relied on the constant import of enslaved labor from Africa.

ETHNIC MEDIA AND IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE VISUAL PORTRAYALS OF WOMEN IN LATINA AND GLAMOUR MAGAZINES by PATRICIA RICLE MAYORGA Under the Direction of Jaye Atkinson ABSTRACT Media are powerful agents of socialization; mediated images affect individual and group behavior as well as inter-group attitudes. In the case of the Hispanic/Latino community in the U.S., frequently underrepresented and stereotyped in mainstream media, identity politics and perspectives of self-representation are complicated by the vast diversity of this membership. This project analyzed the current discourse on Hispanic/Latino ethnic identity proposed by Latina magazine and its social standing in relation to the mainstream culture. A quantitative content analysis that compared Latina’s visual portrayals of women to the female portrayals found in the mainstream magazine Glamour suggested that Latina constructed a homogenized and non-conflictive identity for Hispanic/Latino women; an identity that supports U.S.

It is the fifth of the Romance languages in terms of number of speakers. It is spoken as a first language by somewhere around 24 to 26 million people, and enjoys official status in Romania, Moldova and the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (Serbia). The official form of the Moldovan language in the Republic of Moldova is identical to the official form of Romanian save for a minor rule in spelling. Romanian is also an official or administrative language in various communities and organisations (such as the Latin Union and the European Union – the latter as of 2007). It is a melodious language that has basically the same sounds as English with a few exceptions. These entered the language because of the slavic influence and of many borrowing made from the neighboring languages. It uses the Latin alphabet which makes it easy to spell and read.

  • Linguistic Resources and Technologies for Romanian Language

It then describes a joined Romanian, Moldavian, English initiative aimed at developing electronically coded resources for Romanian language, tools for their maintenance and usage, as well as for the creation of applications based on these resources. 1 Introduction As we begin the 21st century, unhampered access to information tech- nology is one of the foremost requirements for social development. Hu- man Language Technology (HLT), sometimes called Language Engi- neering, concerned with providing information to the global commu- nity in natural, “human”, language by supporting unrestricted access to text and speech media documents, is one of the most active research areas nowadays. To ensure that humans and machines have adequate access to resources expressed in natural language, including those on the Internet, technologies such as information retrieval and extraction, speech recognition and text-to-speech capabilities, machine translation, etc. must be developed for the widest possible variety of human lan- guages and language families. Such a technological level is, at present, critical for languages less electronically visible, in order to ensure their appropriate exposure on the Web, especially on the Semantic Web, in a format and with processing capabilities able to give them quick and °c 2006 by D.

Race, Ethnicity and Global Communication Studies Abstract Race, as Downing and Husband (2005) remind us, is a ‘social category’ without a ‘scientific basis’ (p. 2). And yet, for better or worse, race is a fundamental dimension of contemporary life, one of the few master tropes that define identities, elicit solidarities and operate as an instrument of othering. Though ‘more inclusive and less objectifying’ (Spencer, p. 45), ethnicity is a ‘transient concept’ (p. 47) that, perhaps more so than ‘race’, reflects public and scholarly understandings of difference. They can also be burning issues in the life of nations and regions. As I am writing these words, public discourse in the United States has for several weeks been agitated by radio talk-show Don Imus’s racist comments about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team, the French intelligentsia is enjoying a collective sigh of relief at the weaker-than expected performance in the 2007 presidential election of the far-right and xenophobic French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen, and sectarian polarization between Sunnis and Shi’as is gripping the Arab world, fuelled by the botched US–British occupation of Iraq, rhetorical war between the US and Iran and the consequences of the Israel–Hizbullah war in Lebanon in the summer of 2006.
