Proposing a new methodological approach to documenting languages spoken in multilingual societies, this book retraces the investigation of one unique linguistic space, the Creole varieties referred to as Takitaki in multilingual French Guiana. It illustrates how interactional sociolinguistic, anthropological linguistic, discourse analytical and quantitative sociolinguistic approaches can be integrated with structural approaches to language in order to resolve rarely discussed questions systematically (what are the outlines of the community, who is a rightful speaker, what speech should be documented) that frequently crop up in projects of language documentation in multilingual contexts. The authors argue that comprehensively documenting complex linguistic phenomena requires taking into account the views of all local social actors (native and non-native speakers, institutions, linguists, non-speakers, etc.), applying a range of complementary data collection and analysis methods and putting issues of ideology, variation, language contact and interaction centre stage. This book will be welcomed by researchers in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, fieldwork studies, language documentation and language variation and change.

In Pomak (Greece), we attest to the loss of a morphologically overt expression of mediate information, passing through a stage of variation (determined by syntactic, semantic, and discursive criteria). This change takes place in a trilingual setting where the main contact language (Greek) has no grammaticalized form to express mediate information, while the second contact language (Turkish), has a verbal past paradigm specialized for evidentiality. This phenomenon is analyzed within a multiple causation approach in which language contact acts as a catalyst.

La Guyane française, avec sa grande richesse culturelle et linguistique, offre un observatoire privilégié pour l'étude des relations entre langue et société. On y parle en effet une trentaine de langues d'origines multiples : langues créoles, amérindiennes, asiatiques, européennes. Des populations aux histoires diverses participent aux processus de migrations et d'urbanisation, se trouvant ainsi confrontées aux langues et cultures dominantes de la région. Tant dans le domaine de l'éducation que dans celui de la santé ou de la justice, la promotion quasi-unique du français conduit à des difficultés d'ordre linguistique et culturel à l'origine d'importants problèmes sociaux. Linguistes, anthropologues, sociologues, historiens, dicacticiens, psychologues croisent ici leurs analyses pour susciter des politiques prenant en compte la spécifié des langues et cultures guyanaises. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à la communauté universitaire, aux pouvoirs publics, aux enseignants, aux acteurs sociaux, mais également à tout lecteur concerné par les questions sociolinguistiques et anthropologiques telles que le contact des langues et des cultures, le rôle des représentations culturelles dans l'apprentissage des langues, la construction de l'identité et la place des langues dans cette construction.

In and Out of Suriname: Language, Mobility and Identity offers a unique multidisciplinary perspective on a multilingual society in the Caribbean and Guianan sphere. Breaking away from the view of bounded ethnicity, the authors address central theoretical issues of multilingual and multicultural societies including ethnicity as a social distinction, identity as the shifting construction of the self and others, and the role of language therein. They discuss the impact of contact and mobilities on language maintenance, expansion and change. Language, mobility and identity in Suriname are observed through the lens of the actors themselves, from the ever-mobile Amerindians and Maroons on the periphery of land and society through expanding urban societies enhanced by recent migration from Haiti, Brazil and China.
