Therapy of the soul”: Learning how to participate in minoritized language research
This article analyses the participatory dynamics and methodological challenges of engaging the Moldavian Csángó community in co-created linguistic research through the “Therapy of the soul” project. Using participatory research as a framework, the study explores how storytelling and memory-sharing in a non-hierarchical setting fostered collaboration among researchers and local participants. The Csángó community, often portrayed through essentiali…
Participatory sociolinguistics across researchers’ and participants’ language ideologies
The participatory approach is becoming more widespread in the social sciences and is also starting to take hold in the study of language in society. However, there has been little research done on how critical sociolinguistics can be linked to research that is based on the involvement and engagement of as many participants as possible at a level they find relevant for themselves. We argue that the academic separation between the ‘researcher’ and …
Towards participation: Collaboration, responsibility, and shared knowledge production in doing multilingualism research
From grassroots literacy to transliteracies in the educational context of the Moldavian Csángó
This paper investigates literacies in the Moldavian region of Romania, where bilingual speakers produce writings in a contested language they call the 'Csng mode of speaking'.The speakers sometimes define their language as collateral both with Standard Hungarian and Romanian.Our research question is the following: How are locally constructed collateral literacy practices transformed or neglected in standardising educational contexts?The theoretic…
Seeing from the North: A Critical Family Language Policy study of a peripheral European minority community
Family language policy research has been focused on migrants from the Global South, their linguistic resources and challenges in the Global North target countries. There has been less research on the countries of origin and of those staying behind. To fill this gap, we investigate a minority speaker community touched by intensive labour migration. The participants (n = 12) of this research were interviewed in Romanian-Hungarian bilingual villages…
Authorised voices: Literacy practices of language revitalisation through education
Current research on language revitalisation through education has highlighted the impact of the standard language ideology on minoritised language practices. This ideology is intertwined with emerging literacy practices in language revitalisation, leading to debates on what to teach minority language students, and how. The paper argues that language education is as much about the language standard, as it is about the sociolinguistic voices that a…
Language experts on a sinking island: Critiquing language endangerment rhetorics through participation in and around a tabletop game
The participatory study of language addresses the unequal relationships between the 'researcher' and the 'researched'. As part of this undertaking, university-based researchers seek to develop more accessible ways of knowledge production to involve other participants in the creation of novel forms of representation at the levels relevant to them. The university-based participants of our research addressed this challenge by co-designing a language…
Giving voice to the Csángó figure: Participation Roles and the Production of Belief in Language Revitalisation
Language revitalisation gives voice to those who participate in it. But it is not always clear whose voice the participants make heard. It is also not straightforward who hears and wants to listen to the voices that are raised during language revitalisation. In this article, we present a language educational programme which aims to give voice to the participants of the Moldavian Hungarian (also calledCsángó) language revitalisation in North-East …
Participation in sociolinguistic research
Involving speakers in research on their linguistic practices has been at the core of sociolinguistics since the inception of the field. In contrast to social sciences, however, sociolinguists have rarely addressed the issues surrounding the participation of those involvedandengaged in the research process. This paper aims at reviewing the state of the art and outlining critical dimensions and aspects with relation to participation. We explore pre…
Bevezetés: Nyelvészeti etnográfia és antropológia
A nyelvészeti etnográfiai és antropológia kortárs szövegeit közreadó válogatás bevezetője azokat a csomópontokat helyezi középpontjába, amelyekben a különböző megközelítések, elméleti viszonyulások és empirikus tapasztalatok összeérnek. A bevezető a terület néhány újabb fejleményét az indexikalitás, a heteroglosszia, az interdiszkurzivitás, a regisztrálás és a diszkurzusok körforgásának koncepciójával összefüggésben tárgyalja
Voices of masculinity: Men’s talk in Hungarian university dormitories
Research on language and masculinity has been imbued with a paradoxical juxtaposition of seeing White heterosexual men and their language as a ‘default’ and the paucity of empirical studies on what these men actually do in their everyday linguistic practices. This article examines the multivoicedness of masculinities in a specific local context. We analyze Hungarian male university students’ spontaneous conversations, recently recorded in the Bud…
Enregistering authenticity in language revitalisation
Authenticity is a key concept of language revitalisation; any attempt to restore the language practices of the past aims at achieving the authentic language. Since, as much of recent sociolinguistic scholarship has argued, this goal can only be met through metapragmatic activities, the emically defined success of language revitalisation also depends on such processes. The introduction of new linguistic practices is therefore inevitably linked to …
Language revitalization, modernity, and the Csángó mode of speaking
This study points out that language revitalization is closely connected to the discourse of language endangerment that objectifies languages considering them countable, regarding them separable from both the speaker and their use while speaking. It argues that this “modernist” approach of language defines the nature and, implicitly, the results of language revitalization actions. Using the example of the Moldavian Csángó Hungarian Educational Pro…
