Language ideology in an endogamous society: The case of Daghestan
Journal of Sociolinguistics. 2022. Vol. 27. No. 2. P. 159–176.

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.

Knowledge Bases (KBs) serve as ground truth for fact verification, the semantic backbone ...

Much less attention has been paid to the next boundary on the extended scale, namely the boundary between alienable and super-alienable possession. This article shows that Tungusic constructions with the suffix -ŋ(V) represent a semantic realization of precisely this type ...
