Affective practice, power, and inclusion at a migrant-run Hong Kong gay bar
Investment and the inaudible mother tongue: Carving out a space for Kurdish in the soundscape of an Istanbul kebab restaurant
Firmly grounded in local sociopolitical constraints, language policies at Istanbul's Kurdish-run eating establishments often place Kurdish employees' cultural identity construction at odds with their workplaces' economic viability. In the face of rigid structures that cement the dominance of Turkish, the Kurdish managers highlighted in a previous study exercise limited agency to enact language policies that align with their pro-Kurdish ideologies…
Atatürk's long shadow: Standard Turkish speakers as younger, more successful, and more attractive than their Kurdish-accented regional counterparts
As a well documented example of language planning that links national unity with language practice and has resulted in systemic attempts to linguistically and culturally assimilate its Kurdish populations, the Turkish national context has adopted standard language ideologies since its founding. Previous research has highlighted efforts by Kurdish students and restaurant managers to project a Turkish monolingual identity in front of their Turkish …
Introduction: Reimagining language and belonging in the diaspora
This introductory piece outlines the lens adopted in this special issue, which foregrounds the examination of language and semiotics as a means of revisiting the concept of diaspora. Guided by posthumanist applied linguistics,the papers here envision human experiences as more complex than critical social theory may suggest; moreover, grass-roots agency–a focus that may be inadvertently overlooked in work that adopts a solely critical perspective–…

Set in the Kurdish migrant community of Kawaguchi, Japan, the current study examines interview data to investigate the effectiveness of advocacy initiatives to stimulate social justice. Analysis is based on Byram’s Model of Intercultural Communicative Competence. Measured according to Sorrels's and Leydens and Lucena’s characteristics of social justice, the results indicate progress toward this aim. However, the emergent opportunities that favour…
Fitting into a more appealing diaspora than my own: Positioning Ecuadorian and Honduran migrants within the Newark-area, Portuguese-centric diaspora community of Newark, New Jersey, U.S.A
Maid to maiden: The false promise of English for the daughters of domestic workers in post-colonial Kolkata
Drawing from a larger ethnographic study, the current article examines, through interactional sociolinguistics, interview and observation data related to English-language tutorials between two employers and their domestic workers' daughters in two households in Kolkata. The post-colonial, South Asian context represents a site in which such scholarship has been underrepresented (see Mills and Mullany's 2011 Language, gender and feminism). The focu…

The discursive framing of Turkey's pro-government town square movement
According to the official narrative, Turkey's July 15th, 2016 attempted coup featured a renegade faction of the Turkish military that was overtaken by fearless citizens who answered the president's call to crowd town squares and preserve democracy. During the following months, state ideology that indexed this populist narrative flooded the linguistic landscape. Simultaneously, a large-scale purge of government employees took place. Drawing on a l…
Hybrid language practices on Turkey’s national Kurdish television station: Iconic perspectives on form
The language policy of Turkey’s state-run Kurdish television station (TRT Kurdî) allows for Kurdish-Turkish hybridity, which reflects common practice among Turkish Kurds (Schluter, Anne. 2014. Competing or compatible language identities in Istanbul’s Kurmanji workplaces? In Kristina Kamp, Ayhan Kaya, Fuat Keyman & Özge Onursal-Beşgül (eds.), Contemporary Turkey at a Glance. Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Local and Trans-local Dynamics , 125–13…
