VLACH LECTURES 1 – Yaron Matras – What is Multilingualism?
VLACH LECTURES : HERITAGE AND RESILIENCE (1)
"What is multilingualism? Towards a critical reflection on research and
society"
Lecture organised by Vanishing Languages and Cultural Heritage (VLACH) Commission at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Friday, May 26, 2023
Introduction: Thede Kahl, founder and chairman of the Commission Vanishing Languages and Cultural Heritage
Speaker: Yaron Matras
Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics, Birmingham
Department of Hebrew Language, University of Haifa
00:00 - Introduction by Prof. Thede Kahl
0:05:00 - Presentation by Prof. Yaron Matras
Abstract: New and complex connections between people and places, flexible mobility and
communication modes have created what social scientists have termed diverse ‘ethnoscapes’, transnationalism and local ‘super-diversity’. It is a new approach to identity and belonging that is tailored to a globalised world. When it comes to language, this requires us to rethink some of the notions that have been taken for granted both in academic discussions and in our understanding of social realities identity and belonging: Concepts like ‘mother tongue’ or ‘native language’ suggest unambiguous ownership of language. But the reality is one in which various actors shape and contribute to language practices beyond fixed attributes like parentage or place of birth.
Language itself is viewed traditionally in linguistic research and in society as an entity with clear boundaries that is linked to a fixed community of individuals; critical theory are now shifting to focus on dynamic and fluid repertoires of features that users embrace through networks of practice that are ever evolving. In his talk, Yaron Matras will revisit multilingualism through the lens of practice, addressing questions like: Can we count languages? Can we rely on native speaker judgement in research and judicial procedures? Can structures really be ‘borrowed’ from one language to another? What is the place of ideologies on the continuum of language practice? He draws on a variety of observations, including his work of many years on the Romani language and its dialects.

    Vlachs are Vlachs. They were the natives long time ago on the Balkan, they were also erased like Native-Americans because they were the problem to something that is going on even today. When people say "Americans" they do not think first about natives, but Europeans that came over there and did the same thing it was done to Vlachs long ago.

  • @zeljko612
    @zeljko612 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    To all Vlachs out there, we were and still are the proud people and our history is much older than you think it is. Those who knows what I am talking about can confirm, those who don't, there are fragments you can find and learn that our whole history as people is oppressed to the point where it took me some time to process that fact. I am trying to find the reason why, so far my guess is, we were a thorn in the eye to those who wants full control instead absolute freedom.

    I don't know why they are called dialects, but between Romanian and this is basically no difference if u go to Romania from one region to another and speak with countryside ppl. Indeed is closer to old Romanian, but not even archaic tbh. We have what is called "graiuri" in Romania, meaning non-academic spoken version of regional language. Aromanian is more archaic Romanian than this tho. This is how our grand grand parents were speaking in various areas in Romania.

    This is Romanian, it isnt a Vlach dialect. Pure Romanian. Same style it is spoken in Romania countryside, basically we have in Romania a tone of what we call "grai", regional type of accent and pronunciation, this is Romanian. A very clean one actually. U find more archaic words in Ardeal or Moldova in Romania spoken, than in this lady Romanian.

    Before playing it, curious if they are Romanians from WW1 and WW2 or Vlachs. Romanians are Vlachs too, but not all Vlachs are Romanians refering to today modern Romania as a nationality.

    This is very interesting. There are medieval greek words with turkish suffixes. The agglutination is visible not only in nouns but also in verbal endings. And what about the vocalic harmony and palatalization? I also realized it has palatalization and turkish vowels. Someone can analyze the gender please? I'm pretty sure that there is some kind of loss of gender.

    As a Cypriot, it sounds like somewhere in between pontic greek and our dialect. I can understand it easier than pontic greek but only if I concentrate. There are similarities with the "zh/soft j" sound, we say "pou en pou jeis" for example (where do you live. Also with saying "ekama to" (i did it) as opposed to "to ekana" with the "to" coming after
