- The formation of the European nation states in the 19th century has put forward the notion of
monolingualism, which is closely related to the states’ national language which has been set as the
linguistic ‘default case’. As, however, a closer look at societal diversity reveals, this does often not
reflect linguistic reality which leads to conflicts with the so-called ‘minority languages’.
The linguistic landscape of the Middle East exhibits a particularly rich linguistic diversity of
both larger and many smaller - and often endangered - languages belonging to several language
families.
In this class, we address both societal and individual aspects of multilingualism:
sociolinguistic questions on i.a. language policies will be discussed alongside relevant linguistic
concepts and theories on i.a. language contact (Matras 2009; Silva-Corvalan 1994; Thomason 2008,
language variation and change (Alexiadou & Lohndal 2016; Meisel 2011), (bilingual) language
acquisition (Meisel 2006; Montrul 2008; Schmid et al. 2004), and heritage languages (Montrul
2015; Polinsky 2018). Case studies discussed in this class will have a particular areal focus on
minority languages in Turkey, such as Romeyka, and Turkic varieties in Iran.
The aim of this course is to provide the participants with the basic theoretical knowledge of
how to analyse linguistic variation within a multilingual speech community and enables students
to develop and write a term paper on a topic related to multilingual language use.
