Semantic (dis)continuity and institutional transformation: The decline of Afrikaans at Stellenbosch University
To what extent is the language of higher education continuous with the language of everyday life? The decline of Afrikaans at Stellenbosch University over a period of roughly three decades provides an insightful context for exploring the debate on language status in higher education. This article explores the shift from Afrikaans to English – and the attendant taaldebat or language debate – at Stellenbosch University. This shift is situated within a transforming South African higher education sector and within transnational teaching and research networks. The analysis focuses on conceptual issues relating to the concept of “language” implicit in university language planning initiatives. These include the intersection of language, race and social class, and semantic (dis)continuity within the domains of science.
期刊介绍：
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
