Galdeketa arin bat aurkeztu dut hemen Bermeoko (lako)-ren aldakortasun soziolinguistikoa aztergai hartuta: garalako vs garalakon. Datuak, 423
token , 2016-2017 artean Bermeon grabatutako elkarrizketa laburretatik eskuratu dira. Efektu mistoen erregresio eredu lineal baten oinarrituta, argudiatu dut, batetik, (n)-rekin aldaketa indexikala jazo ahal izan dela adinekoengan arrantza sektoreko kidetza adieraztetik hurrengo belaunaldietan bermeotartasun orokorra adieraztera, eta, bestalde, euskararen estandarizazioak aldagaia egonkortzen lagundu duela. Izan ere, 25 urtetik gorakoen artean ez da alde nabarmenik adinean, eta unibertsitate ikasketadun andrazkoek probabilitate baxuagoa daukate (n) esateko.

Lan honek bi helburu nagusi ditu: 1) Lizarrako gazteek euskara zenbat eta gehien/gutxien zein egoeratan erabiltzen duten ikustea eta 2) euskararen erabilera maiztasunaren eta muda linguistikoen arabera, hiztun berrien profil soziolinguistikoak ondorioztatzea. Horretarako, galdetegi bidez jasotako Lizarrako 36 gazteren erantzunak erabili ditugu. Emaitzei dagokienez, euskara gutxi erabiltzen duten arren, esparru euskaldunagoak garatu edota mudak gauzatu dituzten hiztunak, hiztun proaktiboak , identifikatu ditugu. Halaber, batzuek euskara beste batzuek baino gutxiago erabiltzen dute edo erabilera asko gutxitu dute (hiztun uzkurrak). Azkenik, gainerakoak profil epelaren barruan sartu ditugu.

Gako hitzak: euskararen erabilera; muda linguistikoak; hiztun berriak; hiztun gazteak; profilak

Gero eta euskarazko bideojoko gehiago dauden arren, ia ez dago haiei buruzko ikerketa akademikorik. Hutsune hori betetzen hasteko, euskarazko itzulpen eta lokalizazioei buruz hausnartu dugu bi fase dituen ikerketa honetan. Lehenik, katalogo bat sortu dugu Game Erauntsia Elkarteko euskarazko bideojokoen zerrendatik abiatuz. Bigarrenik, inkesta bat banatu dugu garatzaileen artean itzulpen-prozesuari buruzko zenbait
datu lortzeko. Emaitzek erakusten dute lau lokalizazio mota bereizi ahal ditugula, eta zaleek nahiz garapen estudioen barneko lankideek egindako doako itzulpenak nagusitzen direla euskarazko bideojokoen industrian.

This book takes a critical look at the role of language in an increasingly diversified and globalised world, using the new framework of 'sociolinguistics of globalisation' to draw together research from human geography, sociolinguistics, and intercultural communication. It argues that globalisation has resulted in a destabilisation of social and linguistic norms, and presents a ‘language-in-motion’ approach which addresses the inequalities and new social divisions brought by the unprecedented levels of population mobility. This book looks at language on the individual, national and transnational level, and it will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in history, politics, human geography, sociolinguistics and minority languages. 

La colección Ámbito ELE está dirigida a profesionales del mundo educativo, a estudiantes que se forman para ser profesores de lengua y a formadores de profesores.

This book, which combines scholarly articles with interviews, seeks to imagine a decolonized sociolinguistics. All the chapters are firmly grounded in southern approaches to knowledge production, focusing not only on epistemology but also on the complex relationship between epistemology and ontology. The chapters address issues ranging from author positionality to the central theorists of a southern sociolinguistics, and roam from the language classroom to the church, in ways which invite us to begin to decolonize ourselves and rethink normative assumptions about everything from academic writing to research methods and language teaching. The book provides scholars and teachers with inspiration for how to teach linguistics in ways that challenge colonial hegemonies and that allow one to 'do' sociolinguistics otherwise. It also makes a powerful argument that debates about decolonization, southern theory and social justice are not just academic pursuits: what is at stake is our future and how we imagine it.

This book gives fresh insight into the diverse ways in which the transmission of minority and heritage languages is carried out in a range of sociolinguistic contexts. When traditional modes of intergenerational transmission begin to break down, minority language and diaspora communities resort to other modes of transmission, out of necessity, to complement traditional mechanisms and secure language maintenance. This volume brings together a broad range of studies of these alternative modes of transmission, examining the complex and diverse practical, ideological and personal challenges that arise in different settings. Beyond addressing the dynamics of language use within the home and family, the book also emphasises the importance of the participation of the minority community itself in language and cultural transmission. These mechanisms and initiatives, sometimes overlooked or dismissed in the academic literature, will prove to be essential in maintaining and ensuring the survival of minority and heritage languages into the 21st century and beyond. The twelve chapters in the book are divided into four sections (intergenerational transmission; transmission in post-traditional families; alternatives to ‘traditional’ transmission; and transmission in diasporic contexts), and the language contexts, both minoritised and diasporic, which are discussed include Basque, Breton, Galician, Guernesais, Irish, Māori, Russian, Scottish Gaelic, Sorbian and Spanish. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociolinguistics, language acquisition, heritage language maintenance and revitalization, and language policy and planning.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) describes the technological transformations that are incrementally, but radically, changing everyday life practices. Like previous industrial revolutions, technological advancements are so pervasive and impactful that everything from an individual's sense of identity and understanding of the world to the economic success of an entire industry are profoundly altered by 4IR innovation. Despite the significance of 4IR transformations, little applied linguistic research has examined how these emergent technologies collectively transform human behavior and communication. To this end, this Element identifies key 4IR issues and outlines how they relate to applied linguistic research. The Element argues that applied linguists are in an excellent position to contribute to such research, as expertise in language and communication is critical to understanding 4IR issues. However, to make interdisciplinary and wider societal contributions, applied linguists must rethink how 4IR technologies can be harnessed to more efficiently publish and disseminate timely research.

Multilingualisms vary. Given such variation, how can those from essentially mono-chromatic, monolingual backgrounds begin to appreciate the colorful multilingual realities of the majority world? This question led to the symposium Language and Identity in a Multilingual, Migrating World, May 10–15, 2018, in Penang, Malaysia. This resulting four-part collection of papers:

focuses on different models for understanding the dynamics of multiples—multiple languages, multiple identities, and the relationship between the two;
looks at varying social and geographic contexts of multilingualism, including urban, diaspora, refugee, and cross-border settings;
examines the history and adequacy of the term “heart language” as it has come to be used especially by organizations and practitioners of Bible translation in the West;
describes a range of multilingual situations in South Asia, Central Asia, Europe, Madagascar, and Africa.

The concluding chapter seeks to build on the contributions of the overall symposium by suggesting a research agenda for furthering our understanding of language and identity in our multilingual, migrating world.
