Zakresy tematyczne kolejnych wykładów:
Mon. 9th March, 10.00 – 12.30:
Scotland’s multilingualism today and yesterday
In this introductory session we will look at the linguistic landscape of Scotland today; starting from census data, the discussion will highlight the historical specificity of that landscape and will present what tools are available for the study of unique phenomena. Such tools comprise dictionaries, corpora and other online resources meant for both general audiences of all ages (including school children) and for specialists at various levels of expertise.
Thu. 12th March, 10.00 – 12.30:
History, politics, and language codification
The aim of this class is to present some significant turning points in the history of Scotland which have had a tremendous impact on its language history. The Reformation, the Union of the Crowns, the Act of Union and the Jacobite uprisings will be in special focus, not least for the role they have played in language users’ perceptions and in the rise of prescriptivism.
Mon. 16th March, 10.00 – 12.30:
Focus on literature: Pride, nostalgia and reinvention from Reulis and Cautelis to the Outlander saga
In this session participants will get an opportunity to see how literary discourse has actually profited from the dramatic history of Scotland’s languages, in order to create texts in which the coexistence of different registers, varieties and text types contribute to the uniqueness of the readers’ experience. Sample texts will include works by Robert Fergusson, Robert Louis Stevenson and Hamish Henderson, in addition to other well-known authors.
Thu. 19th March, 10.00 – 12.30:
The language of ordinary people: Emigrants’ letters and social networking at home and abroad
This series of talks will conclude with a special session on the study of manuscript sources and what they tell us about usage, the maintenance of links with the home country and the creation of new identities abroad. Methodological issues will also be addressed, not least from the point of view of source identification and the potential comparisons that may be made with other similar materials.
