Language ideology in an endogamous society: The case of Daghestan
Journal of Sociolinguistics. 2022. Vol. 27. No. 2. P. 159–176.
Dobrushina N.
Studies of multilingual systems found in Indigenous small-scale communities often assume that exogamous marriages are the norm in such societies and contribute to their linguistic diversity. This paper is an account of the language ideology of endogamous societies in rural highland Daghestan (Northeast Caucasus). By studying language policing and language choice in infrequent mixed marriages, the paper uncovers the beliefs that support endogamy and reveals issues of linguistic identity and attitudes toward the usage of the matrilect within the family and the village. Interviews show that in-married women do not bring new languages to the villages, because they quickly acquire the local language new to them and use it with all their in-laws and their children. A strong association between villages and languages together with the ideology supporting linguistic homogeneity within the village contributes to the maintenance of the regional linguistic diversity.

This article examines the manuscript tradition of Kallistos Angelikoudes’ Hesychastic consolation, a fluid and complex corpus of thirty Logoi preserved primarily in Vat. gr. 736. The authors survey all known witnesses—including the autograph Barb. gr. 420, the Lond. Arund. 520, and several later copies—and analyze their textual relationships, variant readings, and codicological features. They demonstrate ...

In recent years, the researchers working on Uralic languages within Minimalism seem to have built a consensus on how to define the
position of negation in any language with a negative verb. The main and usually the only argument is based on the work [Mitchell 2006].
The argument is as follows: if the negative verb expresses tense, ...

This paper presents experimental evidence for the over-specification (redundant use) of Thai postnominal
numerals in referential communication. The first experiment reveals high rates of over-specification
in oral responses that include Thai postnominal and Russian prenominal numerals tested in a contrastive
multi-number visual context. The second experiment demonstrates lower but still relatively high
rates of over-specification in written responses that ...

Настоящая работа посвящена исследованию употреблений испанского глагола resultar ‘оказываться’ в рамках эвиденциального подхода и подхода возникновения нового знания, представленных в литературе. Согласно первому подходу, глагол resultar передает
инферентивное значение: субъект оценки делает умозаключение на основании наблюдаемых
результатов. Сторонники второго подхода считают основным компонентом семантики глагола
возникновение нового знания, а инферентивное значение объясняется воздействием других
элементов контекста. В работе каждый ...

The paper reports on an experimental study that reveals a difference
between two types of under-informative utterances with the quantifier “nekotoryj”
(‘some’) in Russian. The experiment was conducted as an inference task based on [Geurts,
Pouscoulous 2009; Val Tiel et al. 2016] with some modifications. The experiment
showed that both types of utterances more often have inference-based interpretations
rather than ...

The paper demonstrates that the Russian particle mol exhibits a combination of properties associated
with direct, indirect, and free indirect discourse (FID). First, mol-clauses license shiftable linguistic
items (adverbial indexicals, expressive speech acts, imperatives, evaluative lexical items) not
only in FID, as typically assumed for such linguistic items, but also in indirect discourse. Second,
first- and second-person pronouns in ...

The paper investigates Russian interrogatives and exclamatives with multiple wh-phrases based on two experiments, with additional support of the data from the Russian National Corpus. Since exclamatives are often viewed parallel to interrogatives, it is important to study both types of clauses with multiple wh-phrases alongside and to look for similarities and/or differences in their ...

Using syntactic embeddability diagnostics, the paper demonstrates that Russian wh-exclamatives
with the quotation particle mol and/or with the complementizer čto are embeddable and thus
contributes to the ongoing theoretical and cross-linguistic discussion of embedded wh-exclamatives
and their (in)subordination status. This analysis is applicable to rhetorical questions (with the quotation
particle mol and/or with the complementizer čto), which are traditionally ...

Language comprehension and production are predominantly supported by the left-lateralized language-related network (LRN). However, right-hemispheric homologs of the language regions can also contribute to language processing, resulting in reduced left-hemispheric language lateralization. To date, it remains unclear whether less left-hemispheric language lateralization is associated with the recruitment of other non-language networks and their interaction with ...

Efforts to preserve languages are undertaken both at the level of state policy “from above” and the practical activities of language activists “from below”.
