Proposing a new methodological approach to documenting languages
spoken in multilingual societies, this book retraces the
investigation of one unique linguistic space, the Creole varieties
referred to as Takitaki in multilingual French Guiana. It
illustrates how interactional sociolinguistic, anthropological
linguistic, discourse analytical and quantitative sociolinguistic
approaches can be integrated with structural approaches to language
in order to resolve rarely discussed questions systematically (what
are the outlines of the community, who is a rightful speaker, what
speech should be documented) that frequently crop up in projects of
language documentation in multilingual contexts. The authors argue
that comprehensively documenting complex linguistic phenomena
requires taking into account the views of all local social actors
(native and non-native speakers, institutions, linguists,
non-speakers, etc.), applying a range of complementary data
collection and analysis methods and putting issues of ideology,
variation, language contact and interaction centre stage. This book
will be welcomed by researchers in sociolinguistics, linguistic
anthropology, fieldwork studies, language documentation and
language variation and change.
