Language Death in Indonesia
The number of languages in Indonesia exceeds seven hundred, but more than 70% of these languages are spoken in eastern Indonesia, where many speakers of heritage languages are shifting their allegiance to local dialects of Malay or to Indonesian. This essay focuses on the languages of Buru and Seram and the nearby islands of Maluku Province. Because parts of this region formed the earliest Dutch colony in Indonesia, historical documentation allow…
The reading wars in situ”
Engaging Raymond Williams’ argument (1977: 112) that “[a] lived hegemony is always a process ... [that] can never be singular,” this paper examines contrary tendencies toward domination and autonomy in national debates about education, classroom-based reading practices, and students’ formation of literate identities. In particular, I explore the dynamics of inequality and reflexivity through an ethnographic-and-discursive analysis of a US urban m…
Culture is a shadow”, language as a shade; Fragments of a dead language, Naka’ela
One of the distinctive languages of Central Maluku, Naka’ela, was once spoken by a remnant language community on the north coast of Seram. Relying on data collected in Seram in 1978, Naka’ela has been among the Central Maluku languages included in studies of morphophonology (Collins 1983a, 1983b), areal phonology shift (1982, 2018a), and language classification (Collins 1983a). A fallacious, mechanistic classification of Naka’ela (Mahsun et al. 2…
The Sekujam language of West Kalimantan (Indonesia)
Almost two hundred years ago, O. van Kessel identified a language group based on a characteristic sound change that yielded -ai in the final position of some words (Van Kessel 1850: 166); Hudson (1970) named this group “Ibanic” after the Iban language widely spoken in Sarawak. Of the numerous members of the Ibanic branch of Malayic, perhaps the Sekujam language is the least known. Although Sujarni et al. (2008: 282-285) provided information about…
La construcción de "aprendices de lengua inglesa" (ELL) Un análisis de procesos de registro y efectos de Estado en la escolarización de estudiantes migrantes multilingües
Las migraciones de las décadas recientes han aumentado la diversidad lingüística deAmérica, lo que alimenta controversias acerca de la educación bilingüe y revela el puntoen que la identidad nacional se entremezcla con supuestos acerca del lenguaje y la raza.Partiendo de un análisis de los debates políticos acerca de la legislación federal y lapolítica educativa conocida como Ningún Niño Dejado Atrás (No Child Left Behind, NCLB) y los estudios et…
Dynastic Instability, the Emergence of the French Monarchical Commonwealth and the Coming of the Rhetoric of ‘L’état’, 1360s to 1650s
Monarchy Transformed
This decisive contribution to the long-running debate about the dynamics of state formation and elite transformation in early modern Europe examines the new monarchies that emerged during the course of the 'long seventeenth century'. It argues that the players surviving the power struggles of this period were not 'states' in any modern sense, but primarily princely dynasties pursuing not only dynastic ambitions and princely prestige but the conse…
Dilemmas of race, register, and inequality in South Africa
There is strong evidence that legacies of Apartheid remain in place in South Africa's education system, entangling economic inequality, racial categorization, and de facto language hierarchy. This study draws from an ethnographic study of language diversity in a Cape Town public school, focusing on how classroom practices regulate and school staff frame language diversity and social inequality among their pupils. It uses the concepts of language …

Práticas de letramento, antropologia linguística e desigualdade social
Este artigo discute meus esforços durante várias décadas de pesquisa para compreender a interação entre letramento escolarizado, diversidade linguística e desigualdade social. Inspira-se em tradições semióticas e marxistas para investigar a diversidade linguística e a desigualdade social em contextos europeus e norte-americanos contemporâneos. Enfocando especialmente as práticas de racialização e a dinâmica das aulas, os argumentos apresentam est…

Voice, Schooling, Inequality, and Scale
The rich studies in this collection show that the investigation of voice requires analysis of "recognition" across layered spatial-temporal and sociolinguistic scales. I argue that the concepts of voice, recognition, and scale provide insight into contemporary educational inequality and that their study benefits, in turn, from paying attention to social inequality
Migration, Sociolinguistic Scale, and Educational Reproduction
Migration-based language pluralism and globalized identity conflicts pose challenges for educational research and linguistic anthropology, in particular, how we think about education and social inequality. This article proposes new conceptual tools, drawn from linguistic anthropology as well as world systems theory, for analyzing the role of schooling in social reproduction and for investigating the dynamics of globalized social polarization. It …

Dell Hymes and the New Language Policy Studies
This essay updates Dell Hymes's "Report from an Underdeveloped Country" (the USA), positioning our analysis in the New Language Policy Studies. Taking up Hymes's call for comparative, critical studies of language use, we examine three cases, organizing our analysis around Hymes's questions: What "counts" as a language, a language problem, and "proper" language use? We conclude with a final question suggested by Hymes's Report: How can a critical-…

The place of narrative in human affairs
Throughout his long career, Dell Hymes studied and wrote about American Indian languages and cultures, and this work has enduring significance for how we think about relations between text and talk. In providing an account of that significance, the article focuses on Hymes's writing about American Indians and narrative, exploring the close interrelations among the two, then discussing his specific contributions to ethnopoetic theory, illustrating…
Social Reproduction in Classrooms and Schools
Social reproduction theory argues that schools are not institutions of equal opportunity but mechanisms for perpetuating social inequalities. This review discusses the emergence and development of social reproduction analyses of education and examines three main perspectives on reproduction: economic, cultural, and linguistic. Reproduction analyses emerged in the 1960s and were largely abandoned by the 1990s; some of the conceptual and political …

Disparities in Infant Mortality
Since 1950, dramatic advances in human genetics have occurred, racial disparities in infant mortality have widened, and the United States’ international ranking in infant mortality has deteriorated. The quest for a “preterm birth gene” to explain racial differences is now under way. Scores of papers linking polymorphisms to preterm birth have appeared in the past few years. Is this strategy likely to reduce racial disparities? We reviewed broad e…

Language and Class in Minority Education
The effect of linguistic and cultural diversity on the educational achievement of working-class and minority students remains a question of great interest and controversy. This article addresses that question by reappraising the deficit/difference controversy of the 1960s and 1970s and examining how class and politics shape both cultural-linguistic difference and school-based assumptions about language and literacy. A case study of early literacy…

Selling the Market
The call for national and state-level educational standards has swept across the American educational scene in the last 15 years. Using a language of competition, fair play and equal treatment, standards advocates have captured a broad spectrum of both conservative and liberal support. Drawing upon journalistic reports, advocacy documents and interview data, this article presents an analysis of interconnected aspects of the evolution of education…

Taking the Lead
Malay dialect research in Malysia
When European travellers and adventurers began to explore the coasts and islands of Southeast Asia almost five hundred years ago, they found Malay spoken in many of the ports and entrep?ts of the region. Indeed, today Malay remains an important indigenous language in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand and Singapore.2 It should not be a surprise, then, that such a widespread and ancient language is characterized by a wealth of diverse
Language death in Maluku; The impact of the VOC
Any aborigines were simply pests to be removed ... The Tasmanians were shot where they were found, or rounded up into prison camps, where the survivors languished in miserable conditions. The last of them, a woman called Trucanini, who had been raped by the white convicts and then used by the authorities as a pawn to bring her people in, died in 1876. A unique branch on the tree of the world's languages was thus destroyed along with its people
