PIET VAN AVERMAET LANGUAGE AND THE FUTURE CENTRE FOR LANGUAGE AND MIGRATION 8-10 JULY 2004 UNIVERSITY OF LEUVEN UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF LANGUAGE SHIFT AMONGST ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS

PROBLEM Relation between social factors and language shift is often ambiguous and ambivalent PROPOSAL Introduction of intermediary theory

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Ethnolinguistic Vitality Theory - H. Giles cum suis Ethnolinguistic vitality Inter-group relations Speech accommodation Core Values Theory - J. Smolicz L’économie des Echanges Symboliques - P. Bourdieu Linguistic Market Symbolic Profit

Looking at social determinants of language shift is only relevant in a context where people have the choice between L1 and L2. Giles cum suis and Smolicz look at inter group language choice behaviour Can we speak of choice here in a migration context? Analyse INTRA group language choice behaviour Bourdieu’s theory incorporates dynamic power relations between majority and minority groups

To what extent can the theory of ’l'économie des échanges symboliques' explain intra group language choice behaviour? To what extent can the intermediary concepts derived from Bourdieu's theory account for the influence of social factors on intra group language choice behaviour? RESEARCH QUESTION

RESEARCH DESIGN SOCIOLOGICAL INTERMEDIATE LANGUAGE CHOICE PROFILE CONCEPTS BEHAVIOUR PERSONAL FACTORS ETHNIC GROUP FACTORS LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY GROUP CONTACTS ANTICIPATION IMPORTANCE OF LM2 LANGUAGE CHOICE BEHAVIOUR
