| Linguistic conflict:
Conflict plays
a role in many social sciences. Linguistically, conflict between
different ethnic groups often results from language contact. Problems
viewed as political, economic or sociological in nature are often actually
rooted in linguistic conflict.
Conflict plays a role in
many social sciences. Linguistically, conflict between different ethnic groups
often results from language contact. Problems viewed as political, economic or
sociological in nature are often actually rooted in linguistic conflict. In the
literature, however, contact has overshadowed conflict. In addition, the
emphasis in contact research has traditionally focused on closed, homogeneous
groups rather than on urban industrial societies in which social and linguistic
conflict are important factors.
Language contact and
conflict are seen as interdependently related elements applicable both to
individuals and to language communities, yet these phenomena occur only
between speakers of languages, not between languages per
se.More
