Translanguaging, language revitalisation and new speakers
Voicing and staging Indigenous resilience: Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen's performance of the Sámi yoik Máze
Multilingualism and History
We often hear that our world 'is more multilingual than ever before', but is it true? This book shatters that cliché. It is the first volume to shine light on the millennia-long history of multilingualism as a social, institutional and demographic phenomenon. Its fifteen chapters, written in clear, accessible language by prominent historians, classicists, and sociolinguists, span the period from the third century BC to the present day, and range …
From Silence to Silencing? Contradictions and Tensions in Language Revitalization
Language revitalization is imbued with tensions, and while it often is emancipatory, reclaiming a language can be a painful, silencing experience. Processes of colonization have led to epistemological absences (Santos 2012), which may be conceptualized as manifestations of silence. Understanding how and why silences come about and linger today is important for overcoming challenges those engaging in language reclamation may face. Therefore, payin…

Standardising Kven: Participation and the role of users
Norway’s ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages and the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities has had a profound impact on Norwegian minority language policies. This article focuses on how the ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages in particular has changed the status of Kven, a Finnic language spoken by a minority in Northern Norway. Initially, though cove…
MultiLing. Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan: A Center of Excellence in Norway
The world is connecting in many complex ways, driven by the globally integrated nature of technological innovation and human mobility across continents. Never before have so many different speakers and languages existed side by side in the OECD countries as they do today. This reality has placed multilingualism in the spotlight. Increased migration and transcultural flows across borders in Europe have highlighted the urgency for research on multi…
Minority language standardisation and the role of users
Developing a standard for a minority language is not a neutral process; this has consequences for the status of the language and how the language users relate to the new standard. A potential inherent problem with standardisation is whether the language users themselves will accept and identify with the standard. When standardising minority languages one risks establishing a standard that the users do not identify with, and thus, standardisation …
Frozen actions in the Arctic linguistic landscape: A nexus analysis of language processes in visual space
This article examines the linguistic landscape (LL) of seven villages above the Arctic Circle, in the region called North Calotte. The area forms a complex nexus of contested and changing multilingualism, particularly as regards to endangered indigenous Sámi languages and Kven and Meänkieli minority languages. Viewing LL as a discursively constructed space and consequently signs as ‘frozed actions’ by various actors, and by adopting a Nexus analy…
The birth of the Kven language in Norway: Emancipation Through State Recognition
This article investigates and applies the concept of language emancipation to the situation of the Kven language in Norway. This is done from a historical perspective by addressing the role of language in the ideological construction of the Norwegian nation-state, and from a contemporary perspective through the analysis of the consequences of Norway's ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. This ratification has l…

Regulating Multilingualism in the North Calotte: The Case of Kven, Meänkieli and Sámi Languages
This article examines the dynamics of language relations by investigating the historical, political and ideological processes at play in the minoritization and revitalization of Kven, Meänkieli and Sámi languages in the North Calotte region. We focus particularly on language political and legal instruments developed and used to alter and regulate language relations in this area, and aim at providing a state-of-the-art overview of this quickly cha…
We did what we thought was best for our children: A nexus analysis of language shift in a Kven community
The loss of intergenerational language transmission can be seen, in part, as a choice parents make, but in reality they do not always have a choice. Their actions are influenced by large-scale social factors such as language policies and attitudes toward minority languages. Issues related to these factors are addressed by an analysis of language shift in Bugønes, a Kven community in Northern Norway. Data come from recordings of conversations and …
Media, multilingualism and language policing: An introduction
313) describes how, in the seventeenth century, the term ''police'' was used to describe the rational management of the state, ''the set of means by which the state's forces can be increased while preserving the state in good order''. This rational management would be effected through the collection and production of knowledge about the people, so as to strengthen the state. Such knowledge would be infinitely detailed, stretching into the smalles…
Mediating national language management: The discourse of citizenship categorization in Norwegian media
Identities in action: A nexus analysis of identity construction and language shift
This article investigates language shift and identity construction in two Finnic-speaking communities: Lappe in Ontario, Canada and Bugøynes in Northern Norway by asking how the people of these two communities perceive themselves at a time when their minority language is in the process of disappearing. Identity construction through visual and linguistic means are analysed and compared. In both communities, people speak similar minority languages,…
