Review of Yaron Matras. 2024. Speech and the City: Multilingualism, Decoloniality and the Civic University. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
In press
This review examines Yaron Matras' Speech and the City: Multilingualism, Decoloniality and the Civic University (Cambridge University Press, 2024), a book that reframes urban multilingualism as a question of civic voice, institutional access, and political recognition. Drawing on the long-running Multilingual Manchester project, Matras traces how a city language narrative is produced, circulated, and, at times, appropriated, from public celebrations of linguistic diversity to the Census politics of 'main language' and the structural contradictions of the neoliberal university's civic branding.

This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation ...
