Intercultural Discourse and Communication
Some Thoughts on Extrinsic Linguistic Minorities
This paper defines and provides examples of a category of linguistic minorities that we call extrinsic minorities. Three case studies are summarised to illustrate the spectrum of linguistic heterogeneity of extrinsic minorities, and the linguistic consequences. These cases show a continuum of how they fit into our definition of extrinsic minorities: Russians in Latvia are the most prototypical; Hungarians in Transylvania are less prototypical; wh…

Language in South Africa
Rajend Mesthrie (ed.), Language in South Africa . Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 2002. Pp. xvii, 485. HB $75.00. Language in South Africa (LinSA) is a very handsome book, beautifully edited, carefully proofread, and produced on thick paper in elegant fonts. It is in fact the same book, although revised and updated, as Language and social history: Studies in South African sociolinguistics (Mesthrie 1995). Just looking at the two volumes, si…

Language Policies and Language Rights
This review is an overview of the newly developing field of language rights. It distinguishes between (a) historical/descriptive studies where language rights are treated as the resultant variable with no attempt to predict consequences, and (b) exhortatory and ideologically based studies in which language rights are considered a causal variable. An attempt at definitions follows, set within the field of language planning. Principal concerns, suc…

Language regenesis
With the purpose to facilitate general agreement over what constitutes language revival, we argue in this paper that language revival, language revitalisation, and language reversal constitute three separate phenomena, subsumed under the concept of language regenesis. We define and illustrate language regenesis and its subcategories with the intent of establishing a clear and common terminology for these concepts and we do this through a comparis…
Understanding Educational Policies in Multilingual States
The main linguistic outcomes of the prolonged contact of ethnic groups within a modern nation-state are language maintenance, bilingualism, or language shift. This article explores the social variables germane to language maintenance and shift in ethnic-group relations. An understanding of language maintenance and shift and the social conditions under which they occur is prerequisite to establishing or evaluating educational language policies tha…

Structural Pattern Drills
This article attempts a reclassification of structural pattern drills, taking into account the theories of Skinner as well as Chomsky on language learning. Structural pattern drills are classified into mechanical, meaningful, and communicative drills and analyzed in terms of (1) expected terminal behavior, (2) response control, (3) the type of learning process involved, and (4) utterance response. The author believes that if there is more than on…

Linguistic and Communicative Competence
In the first part of this paper I examine the notion of communicative competence as the social rules of language use and argue that there are important implications for language teaching in using such a concept of communicative competence rather than taking it to mean simply linguistic interaction in the target language. In the second part of the paper I explore what those implications are on the classroom technique level

Interaction Activities in the Foreign Classroom, or How to Grow a Tulip‐Rose
This paper is a report on using a foreign language for spontaneous communication in an elementary language class. Correction‐free, peer communicative‐interaction activities should follow the Paulston (TESOL Quarterly, June 1971) MMC structural pattern drilling if autonomous language use is to be achieved. Such interaction proves exhilarating and highly motivating for students due to its realistic communicative force. Four such activities are outl…
The Sequencing of Structural Pattern Drills
It is necessary to classify and order structural pattern drills to assure a systematic and efficient progression in the classroom from mechanical learning to the internalizing of competence. The linguist and the language teacher must reexamine language learning theories and make changes according to the new data. Language learning is partly habit formation, but meaning and communication must also be included in the classroom activities. There are…

Language Universals and Socio-Cultural Implications in Deviant Usage
This paper investigates the address avoidance of second person personal pronouns in Swedish in terms of language universals and the relationship between deviation from a universal linguistic feature and social structural change. The hypothesis proposed is that if a language universal exists, and if a language possesses this universal language feature but under specific conditions systematically avoids this feature with circumscriptions, then this…

Teaching Writing in the Esol Classroom
This paper examines the role of writing in foreign language teaching: the motives, objectives, procedures, and techniques. The first part of the paper seeks to examine some basic concepts in teaching composition, drawing on the relevant literature in the field, with the purpose of presenting a reasonable position of writing in the audio-lingual method. The second part of the paper deals with classroom procedures and techniques of controlled compo…

On the Moral Dilemma of the Sociolinguist
With a diversity of alternatives now open to sociolinguists and educators regarding problems of dialect and culture, we are suddenly faced with an unusual aspect of linguistic description, that of morality. In fact, because of the biases that linguists all share and the contextual realities of socio-cultural-economic forces, a moral dilemma has arisen: "ideal" solutions to language and dialect problems have very little if any possibility of ever …

Pronouns of address in Swedish
One who has lived soon an entire century must learn to change all her habits, and habits of address surely are not the easiest. What comes simply and naturally in one place is wrong and ill-mannered in another (Former servant-girl, informant KU 2849). Even an ordinary simple worker has today became aware of the fact that he also is a human being, and that the great machinery would not function if he did not play his part. An old conservative post…

and the primary grades, but many of the activities can be used or adapted for use with older children. Some of the math and logic materials, attribute blocks and geoboards, for example, are used in junior high and high school as well as in kindergarten. And teachers of older children will recognize the sophisticated appeal of rhythm play in some of the chant games such as the popular Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar. Pasamanick notes thre…
