Let me grow old and senile in peace

A content analysis was carried out of articles on dementia published in Norwegian paper media from 1995 to 2015. The study combined the tools from quantitative corpus analyses and qualitative critical discourse analyses, making it possible to detect and interpret diachronic changes in the dementia discourse.

Kas keelepoliitika keskmes peaks olema riik
Pragmaatiline algus? Keelepoliitika kui ühiskonnas keeli normaliseeriv, aga ka hierarhiseeriv tegevusvaldkond arenes välja XX sajandi pragmaatilisest vajadusest ehitada pärast ilmasõdasid ning impeeriumide lagunemist üles rahvusriigid. Kuigi lõviosas Euroopa rahvusriikides kõneldi mitut keelt, tekkisid need enamasti ühe keele baasil. Ühiskondlikku mitmekeelsust korraldavatest keeleteadlastest said koos majandus- ja õigusteadlastega olulised ühisk…
Fostering Social Inclusion through Multilingual Habitus in Estonia
After the restoration of independence in 1991, Estonia continued with a parallel school system with separate public schools operating for Russian- and Estonian-speaking children. Seen as a developmental ‘growing pains’ of a transitional state, during the last 27 years the separate school system has contributed to infrastructural difficulties, educational injustice, and societal segregation. This article investigates the role of private schools in…
University administrators as forced language policy agents. An institutional ethnography of parallel language strategy and practices at the University of Copenhagen
Nation states increasingly assign the responsibility for meeting the global competitiveness agenda to the universities themselves [Cirius, 2009, Mobilitetsstatistik for de videregaaende uddannelser 2007/08 [Mobility statistics for higher education 2007/08]]. In Denmark, universities that have introduced English as an instrument to facilitate internationalisation are called post-national(-ising) [Mortensen & Haberland, 2012, English: The new Latin…
Kuidas uurida keele kestlikkust
Decentralisation and language policy
The present article contributes to attempts to re-conceptualise the top-down perspective on language policy, by analysing the role of local and city governments' agency in language education policy making. Only few studies analyse the role of lower administrative levels in language policy, other than in implementation of governmental policies, why their policy appropriations are seen as policy deviations. Language policy researchers have however …
Jätkusuutlik keelepoliitika
SISSEJUHATUS Käesolevat artiklit ajendas meid kirjutama mure eesti keele jätkusuutlikkuse pärast XXI sajandil ühiskonna kommunikatsioonisüsteemi osana. Eesti Vabariigi põhiseaduse preambul sätestab, et Eesti keelepoliitika juhtivaks printsiibiks on eesti rahvuse, keele ja kultuuri jätkusuutlikkus. Seatud eesmärk annab võimalusi erinevateks tõlgendusteks. Praegune Eesti keelepoliitiline diskursus, mis avaneb seadustekstides, arenguprogrammides nin…
Hangovers of globalization
Denmark is known for its rather “liberal” and implicit language policy. Many of the decisions concerning the use, acquisition and status of languages are influenced by political decisions made on other topics and by the changing governments’ hidden political agenda. Language policy is therefore not so much non-existent as it is hidden. The aim of the present article is to uncover the covert mechanisms of language policymaking and its relationship…
