  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Native English-Swedish Bilinguals in Sweden Across the Borders of the Three Circles of English Nicholas O’Neill
    Native English-Swedish Bilinguals in Sweden Across the borders of the three circles of English Nicholas O’Neill BA project in linguistics Term: Spring 2019 Supervisor: Ute Bohnacker Examiner: Michael Dunn Department of linguistics and philology Uppsala University Abstract With nearly two billion speakers across the world, English has come to exist in all shapes and colors. Many functions and contexts in which English is found in the world are accounted for in the massive scientific effort to document the language’s global development. World English, New Englishes, and English as a Lingua Franca are concepts that aim to explain the different forms that the language takes in different countries. This paper explores the global development of English in its Swedish form, but shifts focus from second language English speakers to the native speakers of English who grow up in Sweden with parents from English-speaking countries. With most of the Swedish population being highly proficient in English, native English speakers in Sweden are more exposed to non-native English varieties spoken by second language speakers than the varieties used in their heritage countries. To understand how they are affected by their non-native environment, I interviewed seven students from an English heritage language instruction class at a Swedish upper secondary school. The 16- and 17-year-old students had parents from USA, UK, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, and unique stories about their experiences with the English language. Each student was interviewed individually and asked questions about their language abilities, their varieties, and their connections to their heritage countries.

  • Växjö Katedralskola, Sweden World School 001106 IB Diploma Language Policy
    Växjö Katedralskola, Sweden World School 001106 IB Diploma Language Policy http://visuwords.com/language accessed 3 September 2020 ​ Philosophy At Växjö Katedralskola we understand that language is the basis for precision in thinking and communicating our understanding. In teaching and learning, our languages help us to acquire knowledge and skills. Our languages help us form our attitudes to identity and social inclusion in a multicultural environment. We use our languages for creative expression and exploration, as well as our languages such as musical notation and mathematical formulae. The language policy of the IB Diploma at Växjö Katedralskola is to provide as many ​ opportunities as possible for our students and faculty to express themselves in their many languages and codes of thinking, communicating, and reflecting. We understand that language is the basis for learning. The school supports international-mindedness in deepening understanding of this, and encourages all candidates to take a Bilingual Diploma. These goals support the IB Mission Statement: “The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.” 1 ● Växjö Katedralskola’s faculty, library, pastoral care, administrative and other staff, as well as decision-makers at municipal level, recognise their shared responsibility ​ to sustain multilinguism and literacy throughout the school, understanding that language acquisition is a gradual process for each individual.

  • The National Minority Languages in Sweden – Their Status in Legislation and in Practice
    Lena Ekberg The national minority languages in Sweden – their status in legislation and in practice Abstract: De nationella minoritetsspråken i Sverige – deras status i lagstiftning och i praktiken År 2000 blev finska, jiddisch, meänkieli, romani chib och samiska nationella minoritetsspråk i Sverige, i samband med att regeringen undertecknade Europarådets minoritetsspråkskonvention. Finska, meänkieli och samiska identifierades som territoriella språk och fick en högre skyddsgrad än de icke-territoriella språken jiddisch och romani chib. Det finns betydande skillnader mellan de fem nationella minoritets- språken vad gäller inte bara laglig status utan också beträffande antal talare och attityder från majoritets- befolkningen. Finska, som är det i särklass största minoritetsspråket och det andra största språket i Sverige, har en stabil position i det svenska samhället men har samtidigt blivit i viss mån “osynligt”. Meänkieli och samiska, särskilt sydsamiska, är de språk som är akut mest utrotningshotade. Jiddisch har mycket få modersmålstalare, men den judiska minoriteten utgör å andra sidan en välorganiserad grupp. Lägst status i majoritetssamhället har (fortfarande) den romska gruppen och det romska språket. In year 2000 Sweden ratified the European Charter for Regional and Minority Lan- guages. Five languages were officially recognised as national minority languages, namely Finnish, Meänkieli (Tornedalian Finnish), Yiddish, Romany and Sami. Com- mon for these languages is that they have been spoken in Sweden for hundreds of years. Sami, Meänkieli and Finnish were identified as regional languages, in contrast to Yiddish and Romany. Sami, Meänkieli and Finnish are historically spoken in the Norrbotten County. Finnish is also spoken in industrial districts along the coast of Norrbotten, in Stockholm and the district of Mälardalen and in the big cities in general.

  • Researching Less-Resourced Languages – the Digisami Corpus
    Researching Less-Resourced Languages – the DigiSami Corpus Kristiina Jokinen University of Helsinki, Finland and AIRC, AIST Tokyo Waterfront, Japan [email protected] Abstract Increased use of digital devices and data repositories has enabled a digital revolution in data collection and language research, and has also led to important activities supporting speech and language technology research for less-resourced languages. This paper describes the DigiSami project and its research results, focussing on spoken corpus collection and speech technology for the Fenno-Ugric language North Sami. The paper also discusses multifaceted questions on ethics and privacy related to data collection for less-resourced languages and indigenous communities. Keywords: corpus collection, under-resourced languages, North Sami with new technology applications. The main motivation 1. Introduction was to improve digital visibility and viability of the target languages, and to explore different choices for encouraging Several projects and events have increased research and maintaining the use of less-resourced languages in the activities for under-resourced languages during the past digitalized world. The goals of the DigiSami project are years. For instance, the DLDP-project (Digital Language discussed in Jokinen (2014) and Jokinen et al. (2017).

    Juridica Lapponica 37 TANJA JOONA TANJA The academic dissertation: “ILO Convention No. 169 in a Nordic Context with Comparative Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Approach” represents a study in the fields of international law and international relations with a focus on indigenous peoples and their special rights to land. The interdisciplinary study adopts a comparative perspective in regard to the International ILO Convention No. 169 in a Nordic Context with Comparative Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Approach Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Context with Comparative in a Nordic Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169 concerning the rights of indigenous peoples. While the focus is on Nordic countries, particularly Finland, Sweden and Norway, the importance is been placed on evaluating the reporting processes related to the ratification of the Convention. These reports are examined by the Committee of Experts of the ILO (CEACR) and, thus, represent mostly interesting and valuable Latin American examples. Two themes arise within the context of this study: the first are the land rights articles of ILO Convention No. 169, while the second are the subjects, or beneficiaries, of those rights. These two themes are placed within the broader context of the study through the explanation of the system of state sovereignty at the beginning of the thesis. The TANJA JOONA concluding chapter presents liberal perspectives on human rights. It can be argued that indigenous ILO Convention No. 169 peoples’ claims to prior and continued sovereignty over their territories question the source and in a Nordic Context with Comparative Analysis: legitimacy of state authority.

A study of Riddu Riđđu Festivála and its role as a cultural tool for ethnic revitalization Anastassia Valerievna Leonenko Thesis submitted for the degree: Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Tromsø Norway April 2008 To Alexandre Descomps and our baby II Acknowledgements This master thesis is a result of the contribution of different individuals and organisations. First, I am grateful to the University of Tromsø that opened my path to an international academic milieu by admitting me to the Indigenous Master Programme where I met my classmates from all over the world, Saami professors with personal experience in the indigenous self-determination movement, and other researchers on indigenous issues. Moreover, the Centre for Sámi Studies played an active role in my educational process, by organising seminars (at Skibotn) and conferences (the Forum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous Studies), trips to Finnmark (Karasjok, Kautokeino, Alta) and to Kåfjord (Manndalen) and finally, funding my research project. My gratitude goes as well to the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen) and the Centre for Environment and Development (SEMUT) for their financial support that made this research possible. My greatest gratitude and thanks go to my supervisor Bjørn Bjerkli, Associate Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology at the Tromsø University, who devoted a great deal of his time reading and commenting on my work.
