This is a wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary discussion of the
connections between language, borders and identities. Looking at a
broad, geographically diverse spectrum of border contexts, this
volume illustrates a range of methodological approaches. It
examines political borders that divide monoglossic and
heteroglossic territories, as well as regional and local and
symbolic borders. The authors assess the linguistic implications of
these borders contexts such as language planning and policy (e.g.
for multilingual education and protection of minority languages)
and border control (via the chapter on language analysis for the
determination of origin, 'LADO'). Each border is unique, making
generalisations about how language functions in 'borderlands'
difficult to formulate but casting the net as wide as we intend
will, however, equip us to develop and refine models of how
language is used to construct borders, and to indicate on which
side of a border speakers situate themselves. It covers political,
socio-psychological and symbolic borders. It takes a
multi-disciplinary approach by combining sociolinguistic research
with human geography, anthropology and social psychology. It uses
international case studies and examples throughout.
