- Summary:
- This collected volume focuses on the language situation in wartime Ukraine. The research employs the methods of language biography, linguistic landscape as well as media and discourse analysis. The contributions depict a holistic picture of the language situation, use, and attitudes. The volume’s novelty is in presenting rich empirical data and a detailed description of various linguistic minorities in Ukraine (Hungarians, Romanians, Gagauz, and others), their language behavior and attitudes towards state and regional language policy. The language biography interview and sociolinguistic survey data shed light on the processes of language shifts that occur in Ukraine and are accelerated by the war situation. Furthermore, the volume elucidates the impact of the war on the language situation and compares national and regional perspectives of language use. The volume’s contributors are: Bohdan Azhniuk, Ivanna Car, Maryna Deliusto, Lesia Hychko, Nadiya Kiss, Andrii Kolesnykov, , Nataliia Matvieeva, Svitlana Nemyrovska, Anastasiia Onatii, Liudmyla Pidkuimukha, Olena Ruda, Vasyl Sharkan, Halyna Shumytska, Svitlana Sokolova, and Taras Tkachuk.
- “This book covers interdisciplinary research that goes beyond language policy and planning in wartime Ukraine. It offers a unique opportunity to trace how the entire society, attitudes, education, world views, and languages changed during the Russian invasion. Special attention is paid to the fate of minorities and people who were forced to migrate to other parts of the country. The topics are treated rigorously and thoroughly, contributing to the wider field of study exploring languages and cultures in war time. The intended audience is not restricted to language specialists but includes career diplomats, journalists, historians, sociologists, and those interested in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. —Alex Krouglov, Professor of Russian and Ukrainian, University College London
