It is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the organisational aspects of corporate communication, in particular internal corporate communication. It presents various organisational strategies of corporations which influence how employees communicate. Additionally, communication directions, structures and networks are elaborated on. The second part of this paper deals with aspects of language that are of significance for the functioning of formal and informal communication networks. It is demonstrated that formal communication and informal communication are intertwined, and language has great impact on communicative interactions and collaboration in international settings. Undoubtedly English is considered a common language in intercultural business communication, and its characteristics as a business lingua francaare presented in this paper. However, communication in business lingua franca English may negatively influence communication in international business settings, in particular when native speakers of English act as communicators. Therefore, it is argued that knowledge of and skills to use other languages may facilitate building and maintaining formal and informal communication networks. This paper elaborates on limitations and advantages of applying English and languages other than English in internal corporate communication. Keywords: corporate communication, communication directions, business lingua franca, intercultural business communication. Wprowadzenie „Korporacje rządzą światem” – to słynne stwierdzenie wskazuje na ogromną władzę dzierżoną przez kor- poracje. Pisali o tym między innymi Ted Nace (2003) i David C. Korten (2001). Pierwszy z wymienio- nych autorów poświęcił gros swojej monografii na wyjaśnienie, w jaki sposób korporacje (w Stanach Justyna Alnajjar Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej) doszły do władzy i dlaczego nadal się przy niej utrzymują. Jednakże to nie władza jest celem w samym sobie. Korporacje istnieją, aby osiągać przede wszystkim określone cele 8 taktyczne polegające na wypracowywaniu korzystnego wyniku prowadzonej działalności. Cele taktyczne można nazwać „celami korporacyjnymi”. Niewątpliwie gwarantując sobie pewne prawa i wpływy, dana korporacja osiąga swoje cele szybciej, sprawniej i skuteczniej. Niezbędna jest przy tym również współpra- ca pomiędzy pracownikami danej korporacji. Korporacje, podobnie jak inne organizacje, można bowiem zdefiniować jako grupę osób współpracujących ze sobą w ramach określonej struktury, zmierzających do osiągania wytyczonych celów. Współpraca grupy osób opiera się na ludzkich interakcjach, które z ko- lei bazują na międzyludzkim porozumiewaniu się. Komunikowanie się jest nieodzowne także podczas wspomnianego procesu

A n d S A n d ra S . b o R n S J ew i S h S T u d i e S P Ro g ra m Annual Magazine I Volume 47 I Fall 2019 From the Director “Continuity and change” might serve as the title for almost any year in the life of a Jewish Studies Program (JSP). Every year, we bid a sad farewell to wonderful graduating majors — like our remarkable seniors Harry Aaronson, Michelle Bennett, Naomi Farahan, Jordan Schiff and Margo Wagner. And every year, we are excited at the prospect of new majors entering the program; this fall, we’re particularly pleased that eight talented young individuals — many of them supported with generous scholarships — will be joining the JS B.A. class of 2023 from all over the USA, from Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Nebraska, and Washington. But this year, “continuity and change” has a deeper resonance for the Program than usual. I can’t think of a stronger symbol of continuity than our celebration of Alvin Rosenfeld’s 50 years at IU. To prepare my remarks for the event, generously hosted by Sandra and Bob Borns in the gorgeous Grand Hall at Union Station – Crowne Plaza in Indianapolis, I looked back through the JS archives. I was struck again by what a remarkable achievement it was to invent this world-leading program in south central Indiana. Of course, it wasn’t Alvin’s work alone – many friends, donors, faculty, and staff played a part — and in April, so many of them were on Mark Roseman hand to share in the moment and to witness President Michael McRobbie bestowing on our founding director the President’s Medal for Excellence, IU’s most prestigious award.

  • Considerations for Non-Dominant Language Education in the Global South
    FIRE: Forum for International Research in Education Vol. 5, Iss. 3, 2019, pp. 12-28 LANGUAGE-IN-EDUCATION POLICIES AND INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION EFFORTS IN CANADA: CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-DOMINANT LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH Onowa McIvor1 University of Victoria, Canada Jessica Ball University of Victoria, Canada Abstract Indigenous languages are struggling for breath in the Global North. In Canada, Indigenous language medium schools and early childhood programs remain independent and marginalized. Despite government commitments, there is little support for Indigenous language-in-education policy and initiatives. This article describes an inaugural, country- wide, federally-funded, Indigenous-led language revitalization research project, entitled NE OL EW̱ (one mind-one people). The project brings together nine Indigenous partners to build a country-wide network and momentum to pressure multi-levels of government to honourȾ agreementsṈ enshrining the right of children to learn their Indigenous language. The project is documenting approaches to create new Indigenous language speakers, focusing on adult language learners able to keep the language vibrant and teach their language to children. The article reflects upon how this Northern emphasis on Indigenous language revitalization and country-wide networking initiative is relevant to mother tongue-based education and policy examples in the Global South. The article underscores the need for both community level initiatives (top-down) and government level policy and funding (bottom up) to support child and adult Indigenous language learning. Keywords: Indigenous language practices, language-in-education policies, policy reform, First Nations, Indigenous, Canada, Global North, Global South 1 Correspondence: Dr. Onowa McIvor, C/O Dept. of Indigenous Education, University of Victoria, PO Box 1700 STN CSC, Victoria BC V8W 2Y2; Email: [email protected] O.

  • Revivalistics Is Not Documentary Linguistics
    ISSN 2335-2019 (Print), ISSN 2335-2027 (Online) Darnioji daugiakalbystė | Sustainable Multilingualism | 18/2021 https://doi.org/10.2478/sm-2021-0001 Ghil’ad Zuckermann University of Adelaide, Australia REVIVALISTICS IS NOT DOCUMENTARY LINGUISTICS Summary. This article introduces a new field of enquiry called revivalistics, and explores its trans-disciplinarity and various ethical, aesthetic and utilitarian benefits. Revivalistics is an emerging global, trans-disciplinary field of enquiry studying comparatively and systematically the universal constraints and global mechanisms on the one hand (Zuckermann, 2003; 2009; 2020), and particularistic peculiarities and cultural relativist idiosyncrasies on the other, apparent in linguistic reclamation, revitalization and reinvigoration across various sociological backgrounds, all over the globe (Zuckermann, 2020; Zuckermann & Walsh, 2011; 2014). The article focuses on the crucial differences between revivalistics and documentary linguistics. It provides examples from the field that demonstrate the complexity of the revivalist’s work and how the revivalist’s work is distinct from that of the documentary linguist. Too many documentary linguists mislead themselves to believe that they can easily be revivalists too. But there are two crucial differences between revivalistics and documentary linguistics, which are at war between themselves: (1) Whereas documentary linguists put the language at the centre, revivalists put the language custodians at the centre. (2) Whereas in documentary linguistics the Indigenous/minority people have the knowledge of the language, in revivalistics the revivalist is the one with that knowledge. Given that the Aboriginal/minority people are the language custodians, and given that the language custodians are at the centre of the revivalistic enterprise, the revivalist must be extremely sensitive.

  • Decolonising Speech and Language Technology
    Decolonising Speech and Language Technology Steven Bird Northern Institute Charles Darwin University Abstract After generations of exploitation, Indigenous people often respond negatively to the idea that their languages are data ready for the taking. By treating Indigenous knowledge as a commodity, speech and language technologists risk disenfranchising local knowledge authorities, reenact- ing the causes of language endangerment. Scholars in related fields have responded to calls for decolonisation, and we in the speech and language technology community need to follow suit, and explore what this means for our practices that involve Indigenous languages and the communities who own them. This paper reviews colonising discourses in speech and language technology, and suggests new ways of working with Indigenous communities, and seeks to open a discussion of a postcolonial approach to computational methods for supporting language vitality. 1 Introduction So much of the templates, the guidelines, the university courses, have been created along the lines of a colonising language. Our task is to figure out how to be able to speak our languages, how to teach our languages, how to maintain our languages, how to normalise our languages, from our ways, from our perspective, from our point of view. – Lil’watul Lorna Williams, Lil’wat First Nation This is how Lorna Williams addressed 300 people at Language Technologies for All (Williams, 2019). We had been summoned to the UNESCO headquarters in Paris with these words: Everyone should have the possibility to get access to Language Technologies in his/her native languages, including Indigenous languages. The challenge is twofold: (i) preserving culture through language while (ii) allowing communication across languages.

  • Gamilaraay, a Sleeping Language of New South Wales, Australia
    Academic Journal 67 of Modern Zuzanna Bułat Silva Philology Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Instytut Filologii Romańskiej ISSN 2299-7164 Gamilaraay, a Sleeping Language of New South Wales, Vol. 7 (2018) s. 67–77 Australia Abstract The main aim of this paper is to present the situation of Gamilaraay, an Aboriginal language spoken in New South Wales, Australia, currently undergoing a revitalization (Giacon 2007) . After discussing the classification of the world’s languages according to their vitality, the author presents the language situation in Australia and offers a definition of revival linguistics (see Zuckermann & Walsh 2011), a new branch of linguistics as yet little known in Poland, justifying its relevance to the revitalization of Aboriginal languages. Special attention is given to the language situation in New South Wales, and to the specific revivalistic attempts undertaken by linguists there (Troy & Walsh 2010). Some morphological, syntactical and lexical features of Gamilaraay are described in order to show the complexities of language revival and problems revivalists have to face. Keywords: sleeping language, Gamilaraay, revival linguistics, language reclamation, linguistic diversity, language endangerment Acknowledgments I would like to sincerely thank John Giacon whose perceptive comments helped a lot to improve the final draft of this paper. Introduction The main aim of this paper is to present the situation of Gamilaraay, an Aboriginal language of Pama- Nyungan family once spoken in New South Wales and in southern Queensland, Australia, currently undergoing a revitalization (Giacon 2007, 2010, 2014). The methodological context for presenting Gamilaraay will be a new field of study calledrevival linguistics (Zuckermann & Walsh 2011, Zuckermann et al. 2014).
