Language Ideologies and Linguistic Practices of Transgenerational Return Migrants in Galicia
This article explores transgenerational return migration to Galicia, Spain, focusing on participants of the Scholarships for Outstanding Youth Abroad (BEME) programme. It examines how descendants of Galician emigrants, primarily grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Galician emigrants to Latin America, engage with the Spanish and Galician languages. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 30 participants, the article explores participants' …
Transgenerational Return Migration to Galicia, Spain
This article explores transgenerational return migration to Galicia in north-west Spain. Specifically, it focuses on a scholarship programme within Galicia's Return Strategy 2020 – a policy aimed at incentivising return migration to Galicia to ameliorate the demographic crisis that it is experiencing due to an aging population. Drawing on 27 life-story interviews with descendants of Galician emigrants to Latin America, and discursive analysis of …
De jure but not de facto
In Cabo Verde, Portuguese is the official language, while Kriolu is the first language of virtually all the population. The schooling context clearly reflects this diglossic situation: while the vast majority of children speak Kriolu at home, Portuguese continues to be the exclusive language of instruction. Thus, Portuguese in Cabo Verde represents a post-colonial language that has maintained its de jure status but has not entered de facto domain…
Countering decapitalisation
Multilingualism in European classrooms is the norm, not exception, and while the management of linguistic diversity is increasingly at the fore of language policy debates, policy engagement with the multilingual realities of schools continues to be inadequate, and the linguistic habitus of present-day education systems remains largely monolingual [Piller, I. (2016). Linguistic Diversity and Social Justice: An Introduction to Applied Sociolinguist…
Language Ideologies and Transnational Migration
Changes to the global infrastructure have contributed to the growing (linguistic) diversity of large metropolises. However, there have been calls from scholars to explore "emerging superdiversity" (DePalma and Pérez-Caramés 2018) in peripheral regions in order to fully understand the complexities and nuances of the sociolinguistics of globalisation (Wang et al. 2014; Pietikäinen et al. 2016). This article, therefore, explores language ideologies …
Immigrants as new speakers in Galicia and Wales
Immigrant integration in nation states increasingly focuses on the importance of learning the national state language. This is evidenced by increased emphasis on rigorous language testing and tighter citizenship regulations. This paper analyses immigrant integration in two sub-state contexts, Galicia and Wales, where presence of a national language as well as a local language reveal different linguistic complexities and realities which concern th…
