Classroom

The seminar introduces the discipline of sociolinguistics of multilingualism with particular emphasis on the relationship between language and identity in Francophone countries (at the individual and group level).

In the first semester, students become familiar with the basic concepts of sociolinguistics of multilingualism, defining the research area that interests them. Classes in the second semester will be devoted primarily to editing the bachelor's thesis and preparing for the bachelor's exam. The issues presented in the first semester will also be deepened.

The seminar introduces the discipline of sociolinguistics of multilingualism with particular emphasis on the relationship between language and identity (at the individual and social level). We will be interested in how multilingual individuals and communities function in French-speaking (Francophone) countries. Part of the classes will also be devoted to the art of scientific work (specificity of academic discourse and techniques of writing a bachelor's thesis).

thematic scope of issues:

1. Language - identity - basic definitions

2. Various dimensions of identity: individual, social, ethnic, national, linguistic identity... / Identity and sense of identity, identity and belonging

3. Language and identity in the face of cultural change: migration / diaspora / acculturation strategies of individuals and variants of cultural identity

4. Bilingualism and Multilingualism: definitions (individual/social bilingualism, types of bilingualism, diglossia, pidgins and creolization)

5. Research methods in the sociolinguistics of multilingualism (interview, observation, surveys, tests...) and data analysis

6. Bilingual speech (monolingual and multilingual, interference, code switching)

7. Language and the identity of bilingual and multilingual people

8. Language policy (macro- and micro-sociological perspective)

9. Language transmission in bilingual and multilingual families

10. The status of the French language in Francophone countries (varieties, challenges for language policy, challenges for individuals)

Analysis of the proposed readings, audiovisual materials and discussions will allow course participants to choose the thematic area that interests them and then prepare bachelor's theses related to the topic of sociolinguistics of multilingualism.

As part of the bachelor's seminar, students will also have the opportunity to organize a student-doctoral academic conference on the relationship between language and identity and present their research in the form of papers.
