The
Department of Uralic Studies of the
Description
For speakers of Uralic languages the phenomenon
of bi- or multilingualism has been commonplace for a long time. Not only
numerically, but also regarding the diversity of constellations in terms
of
interaction contexts and purposes, prestige and legal status (involving
also
literacy vs. oral tradition), the Uralic languages and dialects
represent varied
cases of multilingualism.
Within the frame of language contact studies, the problems were traditionally addressed from the langue perspective. Research primarily focused on borrowings at different linguistic levels, i.e. either in lexicon or in grammar. Socio-linguistic investigations and (or, in the combination with) descriptions of the patterns of multilingual communication from a discourse analytic perspective are rather exceptional. The conference aims therefore to encourage new approaches on multilingualism in Uralic idioms.
