“…The method of field notes is used in sociolinguistics in addition to the above-mentioned methods of questionnaire surveys and interviews. The linguistic situation of students and teachers of English-language primary school for natives of Ukraine is analysed through this method (Harrison, 2021). In general, the study of social processes closely intertwined with linguistic phenomena is a common area of modern science.…”

The aim of the research is to analyse the use of lexical, grammatical and morphological dialectisms-Polonisms in speech by the inhabitants of Nadsanie in various spheres of life (family, household, business, and education). The research involved the following general scientific and sociolinguistic methods: diagnostic (questionnaire), discursive, and intentional methods; the statistical method—mathematical processing of data obtained during the experiment; and the descriptive method—description and recording of the results. The following results were found through the application of the said methods for the analysis of respondents’ answers. Hence, the use of lexical, grammatical and morphological dialects tends to gradually decrease in older and middle age groups, the actual disappearance among young people. Given the socio-historical situation of modern Ukraine, sociolinguistic study of dialectisms-Polonisms showed how the independence of their own state contributes to the development of their own ethnographic dialectisms, as well as the gradual decline and disappearance of other languages. Further research involves the study of dialectisms-Polonisms in other territories of Western Ukraine and the areas which are close to the Polish border. The studies of other groups of dialectisms-Polonisms (in particular, phonetic and syntactic) and the elements of dialectisms-Ukrainianisms in the Polish language are also promising.

“…King and Ennser-Kananen (2013) define heritage languages as 'often taken to be the language used on home or familial contexts'. Heritage speakers acquire their HL mainly at home in the family (Spolsky, 2012) and increasingly so at weekend, complementary, or heritage language schools often run by volunteers in the community (Çavuşoğlu, 2014;Szczepek Reed, Said, Davies, and Bengsch, 2020;Hancock and Hancock, 2021;Harrison, 2021).…”

Grandparents as custodians of Arabic as a heritage language in the United Kingdom

The phenomenon of three-generation households is typical in many homes across the world, though perhaps less so in North America and Western Europe. When multigeneration families share the same physical space and take part in the same activities, the dynamics of parenting, eating, how time is spent and allocated, and relationships differ from families in which only parents and their children live together. One of the main (relevant) differences is that in these multilingual families there is easy access to the learning of heritage languages and socialisation into and through them. As the article will demonstrate shortly, such ease is also accompanied by relational and relationship challenges which bear on the heritage language learning process. The article describes the language transmission efforts of three Arabic-speaking families in the United Kingdom to teach and use Arabic with their children at home. Data was collected in the form of audio-recorded interactions, family background forms and parental interviews. Interview data was analysed thematically, and interactional data was analysed from the perspective of interactional sociolinguistics. The data reveals that, in addition to parents, grandparents uniquely enhance not only the learning of Arabic but also the experience of learning it. Children have a direct opportunity to learn Arabic and its various, often rare, dialects with help from their monolingual grandparents. Relationship dynamics between parents, their own parents, their parents-in-law, and their own children appear to shape and be shaped by the explicit and implicit language beliefs and practices of family members. Grandparents seem to also contribute to children’s emotional socialisation and their future beliefs of Arabic as an authentic means by which to express emotion. This is the first study to highlight the role grandparents play in the FLP of Arabic as a heritage language.

Attitudes towards the languages of Ukrainians of various ethnic origins during the full-scale war

The article reveals the peculiarities of attitudes towards the Ukrainian and Russian languages by Ukrainians of different ethnic origins based on their language biographies. It has been shown that attitudes towards language are dynamic. They have been forming and changing throughout a person’s life, primarily under the influence of such factors as social and historical events, language environment, education, close people, and psychological aspects. The language biography of an Azerbaijanian male illustrated the effect of the language environment and close people on his attitude towards the Ukrainian language. The language biographies of female respondents of Russian origin, as well as a female respondent of Armenian-Ukrainian origin with Russian as her mother tongue, demonstrated the influence of education, psychological and socio-political factors (The Revolution of Dignity 2013—2014, the Russian war against Ukraine (since 2014), and the full-scale invasion in 2022). Attitudes toward languages are linked to the socio-political circumstances in which a person lives. The environment or events affect a person’s emotions, which in turn influence attitudes toward languages. Representatives of the Russian ethnic group are experiencing a difficult time during the Russian aggression in Ukraine. They have an internal conflict; on the one hand, they are beginning to use the Ukrainian language more, but on the other hand, Russian continues to be part of their ethnic identity and the dominant language of communication. At the same time, we see different levels of rejection of everything related to the Russian aggressor: condemnation of the aggressor’s actions, refusal of Russian literature, and language shift from Russian to Ukrainian. Keywords: language attitudes, sociolinguistics, bilingualism, Ukrainian, Russian, Russian war against Ukraine.
