Wars of position : language policy, counter-hegemonies and cultural cleavages in Italy and NorwayPuzey, Guy Edward Michael January 2011 (has links)
This thesis investigates the development of the present-day linguistic hegemonies within Italy and Norway as products of ongoing linguistic ‘wars of position’. Language activist movements have been key actors in these struggles, and this study seeks to address how such movements have operated in attempts to translate their linguistic ideologies into de facto language policy through mechanisms such as political agitation, propaganda and the use of language in public spaces. It also reveals which other extra-linguistic values and ideologies have become associated with or allied to these linguistic causes in recent years, how these ideologies have affected language policy, and whether such ideological alliances have been representative of language users’ ideologies. The study is informed by an innovative methodological framework combining the theories and metaphors of Antonio Gramsci (including hegemony and wars of position as well as his linguistic writings) with the theories of Stein Rokkan on cultural-political cleavage structures and the relationships between centres and peripheries. These constructs and relationships are thereafter documented as ideologically defining strands running through the history of the movements studied, through reference to activist periodicals and party newspapers. In Italy, the focus of the research is on the Lega Nord (Northern League), a far-right populist autonomist political movement. The Lega has sought to legitimise its imagination of a northern nation (‘Padania’) by portraying the dialects of northern Italy as minority languages, emphasising the hegemonic relationship between the Italian national language and northern dialects. The movement has also used this perception of northern dialects as peripheral and suppressed by Italian to bolster its depiction of ‘Padania’ as a wealthy periphery allegedly held back by central and southern Italy. Although this campaign has achieved some successes in increased visibility of dialects in public spaces, dialects largely remain restricted to ‘low’-status domains. In Norway, the thesis devotes special attention to the post-war efforts of the counter-hegemonic campaign for the Nynorsk standard of Norwegian, which was devised as a common denominator for Norwegian dialects, as opposed to the hegemonic standard Bokmål, which is a Norwegianisation of written Danish. In opposing the challenges of globalisation and centralisation, the Nynorsk movement has retained a radical character and is generally associated with a left-wing variant of nationalism, a key part of the Norwegian cultural cleavage structure. The social argumentation of the Nynorsk movement was instrumental in its successful promotion of dialects, now seen as an unstigmatised means of spoken communication in all social contexts.

Taalpolitiek en "Alternatiewe Afrikaans"Pieterse, H. J., 1960- 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Die term "Alternatiewe Afrikaans" is die afgelope dekade telkens gebruik in
taalpolitieke publikasies, maar tot dusver is daar relatief min gedoen om die
begrip te analiseer, om die "Alternatiewe Afrikaanse beweging" histories te
kontekstualiseer, en om die "beweging" se taalpolitieke uitgangspunte en
publ ikasies krities te evalueer as ideologiese teenpool vir Standaardafrikaans
of "Establishment Afrikaans".
Hierdie proefskrif poog om, na aanleiding van 'n analise van die politieke
faktore rondom die opkoms en "kanoni sering" van Standaardafri kaans, die
totstandkoming van (wit) Afrikanerhegemonie en die daarmee gepaardgaande breuk
in die Afrikaanse taalgemeenskap, die ontstaan van die term "Alternatiewe
Afrikaans" en die taalpolitieke "agenda" van die "Alternatiewe beweging" te
ondersoek.
In die eerste hoofstuk word die taalsosiologie en taalpolitiek as
studieterreine ontleed en terme soos "politiek", "mag" en "ideologie" en die
verskei e wyses waarop hull e met taa 1 in verband gebri ng kan word, word
ondersoek. Die "Kritiese Linguistiek" word onder die loep geneem en die
hegemoniemodel van Gramsci word bespreek as deelteoretiese raamwerk vir hierdie studie.
In die tweede hoofstuk word die taalpolitiek van Standaardafrikaans bespreek
aan die hand van die volgende temas: Afrikanernasionalisme en Afrikaans, die
politisering en mitologisering van die ontstaansgeskiedenis van Afrikaans, en
die Afrikaanse taalbewegings. Tel kens word "alternatiewe", ontmitologiserende
beskouings teenoor "standaardbeskouings" van die temas gestel.
Die ontsluiting van 'n alternatiewe hegemonie, verbind met die "Alternatiewe
beweging" en "People's Education", word in hoofstuk 3 bespreek en die term
"Alternatiewe Afrikaans" word ontleed. Daar word besin oor die "Alternatiewe
beweging" as "taalbeweging".
In die vierde hoofstuk word die ideologie van "bevryding" in 'n aantal tekste
wat met "Alternatiewe Afrikaans" geassosieer word, geanaliseer aan die hand
van verskeie tegnieke uit die kritiese diskoersanalise. Manipulatiewe en
propagandistiese diskursiewe praktyke word uitgelig.
Die "depolitisering" en "demokratisering" van Afrikaans word in die
slothoofstuk bespreek. Daar word aangetoon dat "Alternatiewe Afrikaans" deur
'n duidelike polities-mobiliserende agenda onderle word, dat die varieteit 'n
verpolitiseerde "ideologiese metalek" van Afrikaans is en uiteindelik 'n
etiket is vir " 'n ideologie van bevryding" ten opsigte van die heersende
hegemoniese strukture / During the past decade the term "Alternative Afrikaans" has frequently been
used in publications on language politics. Until recently little has been done
concerning the analysis of this term and the contextualisation of the
"Alternative Afrikaans movement". The politico-linguistic premises and
publications of the "Alternative movement", as an ideological opposition to
Standard Afrikaans or "Establishment Afrikaans", have not yet been
sufficiently and critically evaluated.
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the origin of the term "Alternative
Afrikaans" and the politico-linguistic "agenda" of the "Alternative movement",
with analogical reference to the political factors surrounding the rise and
"canonisation" of Standard Afrikaans, the establishment of (white) Afrikaner
hegemony and the concomitant division within the Afrikaans language community.
In the first chapter the sociology of language and language politics are
discussed, and terms such as "politics", "power" and "ideology" and the
various ways in which they may be connected with language, are examined. The
field of "Critical Linguistics" and Gramsci's hegemonic model are discussed
as partial theoretical frameworks for this study.
In the second chapter the language politics of Standard Afrikaans is discussed
on the basis of the following themes: Afrikaner Nationalism and Afrikaans, the
politicisation and mythologising of the ontogenesis of Afrikaans, and the
Afrikaans language movements. "Alternative", demythologising views, contrary
to the "standard" views on these themes, are discussed.
The develpment of an alternative hegemony, linked with the "Alternative
movement" and "People's Education", is considered in chapter three and the
term "Alternative Afrikaans" is analysed. The "Alternative movement" is
analysed as "language movement".
In chapter four the ideology of "liberation" in a number of texts associated
with "Alternative Afrikaans" is analysed on the basis of various techniques
used in critical discourse analysis. Manipulative and propagandistic
discursive practices are highlighted.
The "depoliticisation" and "democratisation" of Afrikaans are considered in
the final chapter. It is argued that "Alternative Afrikaans" is based on a
specific agenda of political mobilisation, that this variety is a politicised
"ideological metalect" of Afrikaans and ultimately a "label" for an "ideology
of liberation" with regard to the prevailing hegemonical structures / Afrikaans and Theory of Literature / D. Litt. et Phil. (Afrikaans)

Parlementêre Afrikaans van die Hansard-debatte, 1990-1991 : 'n studie van taalaanpassing en -variasiePretorius, Lydia 18 March 2014 (has links)
M.A. (Afrikaans) / This study explores language usage in the pol it ical arena, as seen in the parliamentary debates of the new South Africa. The parliamentary Afrikaans used between February 1990 and June 1991 has been selected as field of invest igat ion, because this period can be seen as an important transitional phase in the political history of South Africa. This period has definitely had an influence on the lexicon used in parliament. The parliamentary debates, as recorded in the tlansards of 2 February 1990 21 June 1991. have been used as primary sources. These debates contain the most important semantic and terminological changes that occurred in the parliamentary lexicon. This study is based on the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (the theory of relativity) which states that a close link exists between language and thought, and language and reality. Whorf believes that language can actually shape and influence the human mind. This Induces people to experience reality in different ways. The following concepts are used to illustrate how political language in general, and parliamentary language in particular has been influenced by the process of pol i tical thought in the new South Africa: Afrikaner, volk, nssl, delDokrasie, serest/she/d, selykberegt/s/ng, groep etc. A summary of the parliamentary lexicon gives an indication of the variety of meanings that have evolved from various concepts. This has occurred because political parties uphold their own interpretations of these concepts...
