Resultativity as a Marker of Nativeness in Kazakh
This study examines resultativity in Kazakh as a linguistic marker of nativeness by comparing diasporic speakers exposed to the social pressures of dominant languages with speakers in Kazakhstan, where the ongoing revitalization of Kazakh is reshaping its use. Nativeness is conceptualised as a linguistic construct referring to speakers’ command of a salient and typologically distinctive grammatical feature of Kazakh, namely resultative auxiliary …
How Heritage Russian Mirrors Unstable Parts of the Baseline
This paper examines how heritage Russian reflects morphosyntactic dynamics in baseline Russian, drawing on three diachronically spaced corpora collected in 2001, 2010, and 2022 in Germany. It identifies recurrent patterns of variation in heritage Russian and assesses how they correspond to domains of instability already attested in the baseline system. The study assumes that transfer, variation, and convergence in heritage Russian are shaped not …
Modelling postcolonial transferred bilingualism
Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions: Our paper investigates postcolonial Russian-based transferred bilingualism in post-Soviet diasporas, focusing on how Russian persists and adapts as a communicative tool despite its declining symbolic value as the language of Soviet state power. It discusses how historical, sociopolitical and sociolinguistic factors shape the transgenerational transmission of Russian-based bilingualism, often affecti…
Aspectuality and Nativeness in Kazakh
Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions: Under Soviet rule, established Russian-based bilingualism triggered language shift and attrition in indigenous languages, particularly in L1 Kazakh. This study investigates the revitalisation of Kazakh in multilingual Kazakhstan following its independence in 1991. It focuses on speakers whose L1 Kazakh was replaced by L1 Russian during their socialisation, resulting in a loss of nativeness in their …
Bi-aspectual verbs in heritage Russian against the background of baseline language dynamics
Our study investigates language processing in mono- and multilingual settings, focusing on language dynamics in heritage Russian against the background of baseline Russian. In this context, we explore bi-aspectual verbs as an unstable part of Russian grammar. As verbs without morphologically marked expression of aspectual contrasts, bi-aspectual verbs represent a special case within Russian aspectual morphology and demonstrate significant variati…

Back to Russian monolingualism? Discursive reflections on the 2017 educational reform in Russian- and Tatar-language media
Aims This paper examines recent developments in Russian-language policy through a case study of the Republic of Tatarstan, with a focus on the abolition of compulsory Tatar-language instruction in 2017. Previous studies predominantly analyzed Russian-language media; our study aims to explore how this policy shift has been discursively framed and contested in both Russian- and Tatar-language media. Positioned within broader discussions of language…
The Czech Language in The Usa after 1918 Father John B. Dudek’s ‘Migrant Studies’
This paper examines Father John Dudek’s works on the language of the Czech diaspora in the US against the background of the post-imperial emancipation of the Czech language after the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918. The focus lies on the emerging interest in language issues in the diaspora, such as purism and maintenance, and its reception in Czechoslovakia itself. The paper discusses whether, and if so to what extent, these issues were addres…
Multilingual dynamics in the wake of Covid-19
This study explores language shifts in multilingual families during the COVID-19 pandemic across Cyprus, Germany, Israel, and Sweden, employing the Family Language Policy (FLP) framework. It addresses critical gaps in FLP literature by examining how external disruptions affect the maintenance and sustainability of minority home language (HL) and country language (CL). The study provides new perspectives on the flexibility of FLP in rapidly changi…
Heritage Russian in contact with Hebrew and German
Purpose: This study examined request production by heritage language (HL) speakers of Russian dominant in different societal languages (SLs), such as SL-Hebrew and SL-German. By comparing request strategies in Russian, Hebrew, and German, the study investigated the effect of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) from the SL on the HL, as well as the effect of diminished HL input. Methodology: Request production in both formal and informal contexts was…
The Formal Address Forms in Heritage Polish in Germany
This paper investigates transgenerational change in the use of formal address forms among Polish heritage speakers in Germany by analyzing their language attitudes and usage preferences. The survey-based study involved 100 bilingual Polish speakers with a migration background, including both late and early immigrants vs. representatives of the first and second generations, respectively. The survey included two parts: (1) a questionnaire assessing…
Intralingual Varieties in Interlingual Contact (The Case of Migrant Russian in Germany)
The paper examines the evolution of the system of intralingual varieties of Russian in the context of migration-affected unbalanced multilingualism (Russian as a heritage language vs German as a language of official communication). In this specific case of multilingualism, two languages with similar sociolinguistic characteristics (status, polyfunctionality, codification) enter in contact, whereby Russian, as a language without administrative sta…
Russian Name-Giving of the New Time
The author stems from the premise that modern anthroponymy effectively incorporates data from related fields of knowledge, primarily those of cultural and political history, thus getting enlarged through interdisciplinary research. An integrated approach allows one to deduce the extra-linguistic mechanisms which lay behind anthroponymic changes. In the same vein, the present paper focuses on the dynamics within the Russian anthroponymic paradigm …
Les Misérables Гюго и формирование семантики отверженности в русском языке
The historic-semantic vectors in the development of the Slavonic lexicon and lexicography are often influenced and determined by the cultural and linguistic reception of the Western European literatures. The French cultural tradition played during the 18th-19th centuries in Russia, a special role in the development of social and artistic ideas. However, the role of the “French prototype” remains in the Russian philological tradition and also in t…
Zum Status syntaktischer Variationen in Sprachkontaktsituationen
The article presents first results of a pilot study on the syntactic changes in Polish as a language contact in Germany. On the base of the experimental data tests the study examines the syntactic changes in Polish of two diaspora-generations: the so called forgetters and the incomplete learners. The article focuses on the questions: how the situation of languages in contact influences the syntactic changes in the heritage language (Polish) and w…
