How to study multilingualism of the past: Investigating traditional contact situations in Daghestan
Journal of sociolinguistics. 2013. Vol. 17. No. 3. P. 376–393.
Dobrushina N.
Reconstructing contact situations for an unwritten language is a challenging task, as the sociolinguistic past of such speech communities is very rarely documented. The paper describes research in which a method of retrospective family interviews is applied, where respondents’ recollections about recent multilingual past and, in particular, about the language repertoires of their elder relatives, are converted into quantitative data. It is a case study of three neighboring villages in the mountains of Daghestan, each of which has its own first language. It is shown that the multilingual pattern in the cluster is now shifting from the knowledge of neighbor languages towards Russian – an external lingua franca which is not native to any of the communicants.

Although epistemic stance in academic discourse has been extensively researched
in linguistics, relatively little is known about diachronic change and variation in its expression
across disciplines, and still less about the grant proposal abstract, a genre produced under strong
promotional pressure. The present paper addresses this gap by testing whether the widely reported trend towards research “hype” is ...

We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...

The papers in this thematic volume demonstrate that language policy in the post-Soviet
space and elsewhere reveals a fundamental tension that mirrors global shifts: the
conflict between state efforts to manage national identity and the organic reality of
human communication. While regional nationalization efforts often demonstrate
global patterns of securitization, the actual practices of speakers tell a different
story.
