Emotional wellbeing and language proficiencies in adolescence: A systematic review
Aims and objectives: Emotional wellbeing and language proficiencies are often considered intertwined. Nevertheless, scholarship remains unclear on the precise links and nuanced dynamics of this relationship in adolescence, particularly when examining multilingual lives. This is due to the situatedness and multifacetedness of both language proficiencies and emotional wellbeing, a lack of standardized examination, and the complexity of linguistic d…
Research priorities in the field of multilingualism and language education: A cross-national examination
Due to globalisation and migration, multilingualism has become both a reality and an aim of education systems across Europe, affecting how language education is shaped. To improve the ways in which schools cater for language education in diverse settings, research is required on the potentials of multilingualism in order to design curricula that foster skills in different languages. This paper aims at identifying and explaining research prioritie…
Across the Cyberwaves: Twitter Campaigns for Gaeilge
Research increasingly shows how speakers and learners of minority languages exploit online spaces to forge communication networks and create and consume content in languages that are otherwise marginalized from central societal domains. While the connectivity afforded by internet technologies is imperative to computer-mediated communication, culturally authentic content and expressions of identity are central to meaning-making processes that may …
Aspects of language choice online among German-Upper Sorbian bilingual adolescents
This paper provides insights into online language practices among bilingual teenagers who speak and learn a lesser-used language. Regarding language diversity, the internet is seen to pose both challenges to and opportunities for smaller languages. Focusing on German-Upper Sorbian adolescents, this study enquires to what extent new media and technologies facilitate Sorbian-language maintenance and learning, and what influences language choice (Ge…
Social Media and Minority Languages in Everyday Life: A Comparative Analysis of Two Twitter Campaigns Promoting the Irish Language
The Irish language (‘Gaeilge’), although the first official language of the Republic of Ireland, is a minority language in public life. In recent years, social media campaigns have been organised to promote the use of Irish online. In this paper, we analyse two such campaigns (#EDL #Gaeilge; and #TrasnaNadTonnta) and explore how participation in them is connected to everyday practices of media use and meaning making, and how this in turn influenc…
Germany's Linguistic 'Others' and the Racism Taboo
This article highlights issues of Othering and linguicism and identifies the challenges of undoing taboos of race and racism in popular and academic discourses in Germany. We discuss the prospect of introducing critical race theory to expose these issues that we see as especially urgent, as Germany remains host to very large numbers of international migrants. A monolingual and monocultural idea of Germany does not befit this country of immigratio…
Language and a Continent in Flux
This article introduces the present forum edition on linguistic identities in twenty-first-century Europe. We consider how discourses of inclusion and exclusion, embedded in discourses of the nation, continue to be relevant in understanding and interpreting the social, cultural and political status of (minority) languages and their speakers. In order to introduce the various studies that comprise this forum, we relay how language debates provide …
Translanguaging challenges in multilingual classrooms: Scholar, teacher and student perspectives
The challenging task of establishing meaningful translanguaging in multilingual classrooms necessitates negotiation between different stakeholders. Such negotiation requires investigation of the contexts and ways in which translanguaging may be implemented as a suitable teaching strategy. The aim of the current study was to elicit practical and pedagogical issues of translanguaging in the classroom via interviews with three different groups of st…
What can hashtags tell us about minority languages on Twitter? A comparison of #cymraeg, #frysk, and #gaeilge
Researchers of minority language media are increasingly interested in the role of internet-based communication in language usage, maintenance, and revitalisation. This study explores the use of hashtags signifying the Welsh/Cymraeg, Frisian/Frysk, and Irish/Gaeilge languages on Twitter. Acknowledging the challenges of interpreting social media data, we focus on the hashtag and what it can tell us about the social and digital lives of minority lan…

Transitional Politics and Language Rights in a Multi-ethnic Northern Ireland: Towards a True Linguistic Pluralism
This paper provides an overview of the deliberations on cultural diversity and language policy that have occurred in Northern Ireland since the onset of the peace process. The paper looks specifically at how policy decisions and political debate on the Irish language and the languages of migrant communities are driven by competing notions of Britishness and Irishness, despite a supposed desire in the Belfast Agreement to promote ‘respect, underst…
Finding the Irish Language in Canada
Finding the Irish Language in Canada Sarah McMonagle In Canada today, Irish language learners may avail of a variety of formal and informal contexts. A number of higher-level institutions offer instruction in the language. The development of a multiculturalism policy after the 1960s sought a place for Canada’s “heritage languages” and led to the establishment of the so-called “ethnic” chairs for the study of Canada’s heritage groups other than th…
Gaeltacht Thuaisceart an Oileáin Úir: Post-territorial Irishness and Canadian multiculturalism
In 2007 a remarkable development for the Irish language outside of Ireland took place. A dedicated space for speaking and learning the language was established in Ontario, Canada, now known as Gaeltacht Thuaisceart an Oileáin Úir. While the adoption of the term ‘Gaeltacht’ may be controversial in an allochthonous context, this site is sustained by a diasporic community that endeavours to preserve an Irish cultural identity through learning and sp…

Deliberating the Irish language in Northern Ireland: From conflict to multiculturalism
The Belfast Agreement (1998) contains a clause on respect and tolerance for linguistic diversity in Northern Ireland (NI). It is unsurprising that this clause was included given the role of Irish – and Ulster Scots – in identity politics in the region. The call for respect for NI's languages can therefore be seen as a type of conflict management. Renewed powersharing through consociational arrangements points to a relatively successful peace proc…
