Ich freu mich drauf, mit meinem Vortrag zu sprachlicher Differenz und sozialer Ungleichheit in einem deutschsprachigen Kindergarten in Südtirol mit dabei zu sein! 😍
Was hat Sprache mit sozialer Ungleichheit zu tun? Dem gehen in der Sektion #Soziolinguistik 12 Vorträge auf den Grund. Dabei stehen verschiedene gesellschaftliche Kontexte im Fokus, von Bildungsinstitutionen und Beratungseinrichtungen bis hin zu Gerichtsverhandlungen. #galmainz23
Teachers interpret institutional language policies as calling for „as much Standard German as possible“. They draw on pedagogical values, personal beliefs and professional experience to legitimise their use of different kinds of non-standard German and Italian. 🧵 2/2

And btw: I started this project because I was horrified by headlines (and discourses) like this one: „German-language kindergarten without [ethnolinguistically] German children“ 🤬🤬 See for yourself…

Thrilled to see @marie_rickert‘s paper finally out! It‘s a fascinating exploration of the interactional meanings teachers and kids negotiate around linguistic resources other than German in a German ECEC - and of the language ideological assemblages they co-create in this way!

On a day when I got some bad news of a rejected project proposal, at least I saved up some good news to share: I am a proud co-author of a book chapter in a wonderful volume published by @Multi_Ling_Mat! Here‘s a link to the volume: tinyurl.com/n4zyk5rx

In our chapter, we draw on our studies from Finland and South Tyrol, Italy to illustrate methodological approaches to linguistic repertoires - with a focus on adolescents. Check it out and let me know what you think: tinyurl.com/3n3zwsy2

This project had me question some of the foundations of how we do research. Like, how mano academic conventions could we get rid of and still do great work? Also, somebody find me an anthropologist to study the maranza! #citizenscience
