{"title":"Pacific transformations of the ‘Country of Babel’","authors":"Christoph Neuenschwander","doi":"10.1075/jpcl.00132.neu","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/jpcl.00132.neu","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 The story of Babel has been used for centuries to prompt negative evaluations of linguistic diversity. It has been\u0000 instrumentalised in debates about English, to attest linguistic purity and propagate the standard variety. In (post)colonial\u0000 discourses, Babel came to project imperialist language ideologies and hierarchies onto new contexts. This paper demonstrates how\u0000 Babel, as a recurring theme in debates on Hawai‘i Creole and Tok Pisin, has undergone transformation, having been employed in\u0000 seemingly contradictory ways, variably used to legitimise or delegitimise the creoles. These competing, diametrically opposed\u0000 lines of argumentation reflect different concepts of community and nation. Yet, as I propose here, Babel remains consistent in its\u0000 core function: It serves as a topos, invoking ostensibly common knowledge about the dangers of (unmonitored) linguistic\u0000 heterogenisation. Thus, regardless of its ideological force to challenge or maintain the (post)colonial status quo, it perpetuates\u0000 a basic imperialist understanding of the nation as monolingual.","PeriodicalId":506461,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages","volume":"74 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139526574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This creole has only recently been gaining recognition but it is the main language of everyday interactions in Yarrabah. This study describes the recognitional trajectory of Yarrie Lingo and what has fostered this language awareness. With a focus on the experiences of the local Aboriginal educator, language activist and researcher, Bernadine Yeatman, we showcase a range of grounded methodologies, including devices like language posters, interviews and illustrative stories, along with maps, timelines and cartoons developed in conjunction with a linguist, Denise Angelo. This shines a light onto the practical ‘how to’ of language awareness for under-recognised language communities and the potential support a linguist can provide. It exemplifies a research approach which engages linguistic knowledge with local language expertise to co-design materials for community members, educators and service providers.","PeriodicalId":506461,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages","volume":" 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139254706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
