“…These cases show, moreover, how minority languages can work in popular genres not only on equal terms with the dominant ones (cf. Jaffe, 2007;Moriarty, 2011), but doing it even better (cf. user comments above).…”

“…In so doing, they also shift power relations between the dominating and dominated languages and, further, language-political centres and peripheries (cf. Jaffe, 2007;Moriarty, 2011). The Corsican performance creates a different vector, one between two peripheries, the Corsican and the Kabylian, with consequences in both language ideological and practical terms.…”

“…Much recent work has also contributed to and benefitted from a productive synergy with CALS activities in the area of Discourse, society and identity. In many cases this has involved discursive analysis of (language) ideologies and their relationships, whether more or less direct, to issues of planning and policy, in arenas such as: comedy (Atkinson & Kelly-Holmes 2011, Moriarty 2011); politics (e.g. Atkinson 2011); tourism (e.g.…”

The Centre for Applied Language Studies (CALS), founded in 1997, brings together researchers and postgraduate students from several disciplines in language studies, and is structured in three research clusters: New learning environments; Discourse, society and identity; and Plurilingualism and language policy. There is a certain amount of overlapping between the clusters, and several researchers are active in more than one cluster. Thus research in language teacher education is present both in the New learning environments cluster and in Discourse, society and identity. Corpus-based methodologies are also prominent in both these clusters. Furthermore, discourse analysis is present as a methodology in all three. The following sections provide information on current research and selected research outcomes within the three research clusters from 2011 to 2013.

“…A little bit of language can be enough, and even limited competence is celebrated alongside an acceptance of "imperfect" bilingualism and language mixing. So, for example, a minority language can become a resource in the linguistic repertoire of a comedian or a rapper, and their use of the particular language may or may not signal commitment to the language and/or fluency (Moriarty 2011;Pietikäinen 2008).…”

Abstract:The poststructuralist turn has been widely acknowledged in contemporary applied and sociolinguistics (Rampton 2006, Blommaert 2010. While for many this paradigmatic shift has been a welcome challenge to segregationalist approaches (Mühlhäusler 1996, Makoni andPennycook 2007) and deficit discourses in relation to multilingualism (Jacquemet 2005, Jaffe 2007), it is not an unproblematic concept for minority language media and language sustainability. For those committed to activism and engagement with policy makers, the current paradigmatic shift, which has been described in terms of a performance era for minority language media (Pietikäinen and Kelly-Holmes 2011), presents particular challenges which have the potential to undermine gains made in previous eras in relation to media rights for minority language speakers. Using the example of a recent multi-media campaign to revitalise Irish, the Bród Club, this paper explores the opportunities and problems presented by the contemporary performance era for minority language media.
