The Use of Rhizobacteria on White Rot Disease and Growth of Lettuce
Authors: AKGÜL Abdullah Can , BELGÜZAR Sabriye
Published: February 2024

White rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum [(Lib.) de Bary] is one of the most important diseases negatively affecting lettuce production. In this study, the effects of rhizobacteria containing different species on S. sclerotiorum were investigated. Also effect of rhizobacteria were determined on the growth of lettuce. Eight rhizobacteria strains (Enterobacter cloacae, E. aerogenes, Bacillus cereus, Microbacterium testaceum, Pseudomonas putida, P. chlororaphis, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, and Burkholderia cepacia) were used in the study. Firstly, the in vitro effects of rhizobacteria strains were investigated on the mycelial growth and sclerotia viability of S. sclerotiorum. Then, pot experiments were carried out under controlled greenhouse conditions to determine the effect of selected strains on white rot disease and the growth of lettuce. The effect of tested bacteria on the mycelial growth of S. sclerotiorum ranged between 38.09-79.84%, and the P. putida strain had the highest impact. The bacterial strains were also effective on the sclerotia viability of S. sclerotiorum. The efficiency in the pot experiment was between 50-90% on white rot, and the highest effect was recorded in A. calcoaceticus strain. In the pot experiment rhizobacteria also increased plant growth. In particular, E. aerogenes was the most successful strain in plant growth. The results revealed that bacterial strains have different inhibitory effects in in vitro and in vivo experiments, while having the potential in the biological control of white rot disease and positive results on lettuce growth.

The aim of this study is to determine the sport-specific fitness profile with the virtual prediction method and to contribute to the determination of tomorrow's champions with the Olympic Training Module carried out in primary school. In this context, 97 (53 boys, 44 girls) primary school students aged between 10-11 (years) participated in the study. The participants were tested for reaction time, hand grip strength, standing long jump, 30 m sprint, medicine ball throwing and hitting the target at a distance of 5 meters. After all tests were performed, the test results were classified as good (1), fair (2) and poor (3) according to gender. The accuracy between all classifications and performance tests was analyzed with MATLAB 2022B application. Accordingly, male participants' reaction time was 94.34%, handgrip strength 98.11%, standing long jump 100%, 30 m sprint 98.11%, medicine ball throwing 94.34%, and hitting the target from a distance of 5 meters were classified with 100% accuracy. Reaction time of female participants was 95.45%, handgrip strength 100%, standing long jump 100%, 30 m sprint 97.73%, medicine ball throwing 97.73%, and hitting the target from 5 meters distance with 100% accuracy. In addition, performance parameters were significantly different between the groups (p<.001). As a result, it was determined that performance classification using machine learning modeling was performed with great accuracy. Therefore, the results of our research can be used in talent selection and guidance of individuals of this age to the appropriate sports branch.

Trickster and Cain: An Allegory of Musical and Linguistic Anthropology
Authors:   National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, Kavouras Pavlos
Published: February 2024

In this talk, I will juxtapose the mythological figure of trickster with the biblical figure of Cain. In doing so, my purpose is to shed light on the dynamics of human thinking. Trickster is a potent symbol of humanity. It is found in the oral literatures of tribal peoples worldwide, in the context of which his mode of thinking and acting is amply demonstrated. Trickster became widely known to the Western world as a unique expression of humanity, mainly through the works of the anthropologist Paul Radin and the psychologist Carl Jung. Trickstering is a unique human quality which concerns a one-way logic of being in the world. Tricksterâ€™s flow of consciousness moves from a center or point of departure outwards, having no destination, and is defined by the lack of any subject / object differentiation. Trickster stands ideally for abductive logic, to use the philosopher Charles Saunders Peirceâ€™s terminology, as opposed to the other two Peircean kinds of logic, inductive and deductive, which I take to represent together the logic of Cain. In the case of Cain, human thinking is characterized by the subject / object divide, which introduces an epistemological and, eventually, a reflexive dualism, with serious, moral, and ethical implications. Cainâ€™s logic flows from the particular to the whole and vice versa, inductively or deductively, as it is defined and determined by the mental law of â€˜Twoâ€™ in the thinkerâ€™s or actorâ€™s reflexive relationship with the world â€“ his or her physical, social, and spiritual cosmos. After setting the stage for a critical encountering between the primitive trickster and the biblical Cain, I will interpret their exchanges and incompatible expressions regarding their non-reflexive and reflexive ways of being in the world, respectively. Finally, I will turn to music and allegory, attempting to blend these two fundamental components of humanity with the archetypal characters of trickster and Cain. It is in the context of such a dialogue that tricksterâ€™s encounter with Cain acquires its musical and allegorical momentum, and sheds light through its abductive othering to the question of interpretation and human consciousness.
Sustaining a Regional Dialect in Greece: Karpathos Island and its Linguistic Heritage
Authors:   SOAS, University of London, U.K., Hadzantonis Michael
Published: February 2024

The island of Karpathos sits both geographically and socio-politically within a vortex. Geographically, the island has been instrumental over centuries as a gateway to Crete and Rhodes, which in turn have offered a haven for foreign occupation. Socio-politically, the case is not significantly devoid. Through occupation of Karpathos, the waves of intruders have attempted to gain some level of footing over both local and larger regions, in order to assert power. Consequent to these waves of occupation, the language and cultural heritages of Karpathos have been tumultuous and dynamic. Yet, ideologies on the island have pervaded such changes and shifts, to adhere to a nationalist code, that is, a Greek nationalism and locally independent mentality, and in which, such a nationalist and independent culture-political positions are entextualized. The study landscapes the language of Karpathos to expose the language ideologies of the inhabitants of the island. I identified a connection to Greek continuity and Greek patriotism, yet entextualized in the islandâ€™s language behaviors that are themselves relative to the geographical and sociopolitical stance of the island. The study thus draws on a methodical framework of entextualization, as one that sits firmly within the boundaries of linguistic anthropology.
Should I Return as the Subaltern?: Greek Diaspora and its Linguistic Connections with Home
Authors:   SOAS, University of London, U.K., Hadzantonis Michael
Published: February 2024

Return migration has become a phenomenon pervading much of the world. These regions largely include those countries not historically framed as immigrant contexts. However, owing to the complexity of return migration, all regions can be seen as such. Countries and regions experiencing war and periodic or temporary western domination later recover to rebuild their economies and hence, diasporic societies find reason to return, in addition to the need to reclaim and regain cultural and linguistic heritage. This presentation addresses the current and increasing wave of return migration to Greece, from diverse diasporic contexts, yet extensively from the Global North. The return to the Greek heritage homeland is accompanied by categories of factors, spearheaded by the ideological fear of return and acceptance, and by the conceptions by heritage locals of these returnees as the foreign other. The presentation documents ideologies of both returnees and the heritage locals who either accept or reject the returnees, and grounds these conceptions in the Greek language competence of the returnees. More significantly, while returnees may have high competence in the Greek languages, such competence recedes at times when conceptions of self as a foreign other rises; Greek language competence can negatively correlate with strength of inclusion into the Greek homeland ingroup.
Karangiozis in the Shadows: A Linguistic Anthropology of Greece's Shadow Puppetry
Authors:   SOAS, University of London, U.K., Hadzantonis Michael
Published: February 2024

The Karangiozi theatre play has existed for centuries in its various forms and across territories. Initially emanating from the Ottoman regions, it entered Greece several centuries prior, and was popularized during Ottoman occupation of Greece. Structured on a system of multilayered symbolisms, the visuals, performances and narratives in Karangiozi present the lead character, Karangiozi, a poor and benevolent man who is frequently oppressed and beaten for his misdoings. The character must contend with the arrogance and comical approaches of other characters, and must support his family, all while accepting his low socioeconomic status. While the theatre has long addressed Greeceâ€™s political satire, nationalist discourse, and class and socioeconomic differentials, the performance has, over the past century, significantly shifted with respect to its poetics, narratives, and symbolisms. These shifts correlate with movements from capitalism to late capitalism, and to the information age, as technology and information flow, and the acceleration of time scales require a new engagement with media, technology and information, where old media, such as puppet theatre performance and its narratives, as well as poetic forms of vernacular, now appear redundant. In this paper, I address the changes in the Karangiozi puppet theatre performance. To this, I have collated a corpus of old and new Karangiozi narratives and performance scripts, which I compare. Factors I address include the altered poetics and script designs, and the notable shift in symbolisms, over the past century. Here, I draw on a framework of symbolic and narrative analysis, while also discussing the ways in which narratives and performance are newly appropriated in the shifting form of the theatre play.
Linguoconceptual Analysis of Deceit in Herodotusâ€™ Histories
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Polishchuk Anna
Published: February 2024

This research has been conducted in line with the long historical and cultural controversy over the ethnic and national identity of western and eastern civilisations and the ethno-specific perception of falsehood in ancient peoples mentioned in The Histories by Herodotus. Given the breadth and relative objectivity of information on the contacts of the Persian Empire of the Achaemenids with neighbouring nations in the Mediterranean region, Herodotusâ€™ work is a unique resource for study which traditionally belongs to the prerogatives of modern comparative linguoconceptology. Despite the abundance of scholarship on falsehood and deception in Herodotus (Lateiner 1990; Harrison 2004; Mash 2010; Hollmann 2011; Wesselmann 2011), little has paid attention to the communicative entities within different ethnic groups and discursive areas. This study of the Ancient Greeksâ€™ concept of deceit has used traditional semasiological methods in combination with cognitive methods of discourse analysis, metaphorical modelling, and axiological scaling. As a result of the semantic and stylistic analysis of 36 denotations of the concept, represented by cognates of ÏˆÎµÏ…Î´-, (á¼Î¾)Î±Ï€Î±Ï„-, Î´Î¹Î±Î²Î±Î»-, Î´Î¿Î»-, Î¼Î·Ï‡Î±Î½- etc., â€˜the coreâ€™ and â€˜the peripheryâ€™ have been singled out. These lexical means have been differentiated according to the frequency of use, variety of derivatives, types of connotative meanings, and discursive functions. Discursive distribution of the lexical items concerned the social sphere in the political, religious, and personal domain. A comparative analysis of deceit in different ethnic communities showed that representatives of the East were inclined to use non-verbal forms of trickery, while Greeks prevailed in verbal deception. Among verbal means, in Herodotusâ€™ view, Asian peoples preferred misinformation â€“ straight untruth through a complete alteration of the reality â€“ while for the Ionians, Athenians, and other Hellenes, verbal tactics appear as more complex and demanding, since their misleading manipulations balanced between truth and untruth, so that they could not have been easily refuted. Quantitative parameters, as well as stylistic sensitivity, of lexical items have revealed these tendencies for the eastern and western oecumenes, with marginal peculiarities for the Trojans and Ionians, which seem to challenge some regional stereotypes concerning deception.
Liminality, Metaphor and Place in the Farming Landscape of Tinos: The Village of Kampos
Authors:   College Year Athens, Greece, Vidali Maria
Published: February 2024

This research explores the farming landscape and village life in Kampos, a village on the Greek island of Tinos. Tinos is an Aegean island with a long history of agriculture. In Kampos, one of the oldest farming villages of Tinos, boundaries created by low stone walls and alleyways primarily define the farming landscape that permeates village life and its structure. The landscape appears semi-artificial, given the construction of countless rows of cultivation ridges and terraces. Boundaries on the island appear through texts, space, movement and habit, thus creating. a series of liminal spaces. They represent areas â€“ or rather situations â€“ allowing for multiple co-existing levels of interaction, which are both ambiguous and can be transformed through negotiation. Negotiation would not be possible without language and narrative: Language arises through communal metaphors, stories, and fictional beliefs that bind and connect a small community together in a farming landscape, a community that has retained a quality of life closely connected to nature, architecture, and private and public realms, all by exhibiting features that can be found in a contemporary way of living. Objectified and non-objectifiable boundaries â€“ in relation to the villagersâ€™ land, water, private and public spaces â€“, their absence, their negotiation, the life that flourishes in-between them, and their relationship to men and women, ownership, and bonding, are important aspects examined in research. The presence, the lack of, and the negotiation of these boundaries, all unfold through fictional stories, narratives and interviews of villagers from Kampos. Through these narratives, I argue that when boundaries are obscure or create an in-between space of negotiation and communication, when they become a liminal space, then a different situation of ownership and bonding arises. Here, the villagers claim their propertiesâ€™ boundaries, and negotiate these and sometimes fall into conflicts. Conducting this research, I determined that stories created from the villagerâ€™s life, space, and landscape consist of a series of metaphors that define â€˜dwellingâ€™ in this part of the world, in this specific landscape, which has a contemporary way of living, but still connected with tradition and the past as an action mimetic of the present.
Meshamdutho and Meshumad le-Teavon: Motivation of Evil Doers in Syriac-Aramaic and Hebrew Terminological-Conceptual Traditions
Authors:   University of Haifa, Israel, Yoskovich Avraham ,   Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel
Published: February 2024

Language can mirror relationships throughout and between communities, while it enables connections and separation simultaneously. Jewish and Christian communities had a close but complicated relationship in the late antique-early Islamic period in Babylon (the fertile crescent). That relationship included similar dialects of Aramaic: Jewish Babylonian Aramaic and Christian Syriac Aramaic. My study describes changes and developments in the status of an apostate (Heb. Meshumad) in the Jewish literature of late antiquity, by examining terminological variations. In this presentation, I wish to present the Syriac developments and to compare the two, in order to better conceptualize the mutual process in one terminological and conceptual case. One such case is the defining of the apostate, not only by his apparent wrong doing, but also by seeking his motivation to act. According to that model, if an evil act originated from his desire or lewdness, he should be judged in a more containing manner than if it had originated by rage or theological purpose. This was phrased in Hebrew by the words Meshumad le-Teavon â€˜apostate out of desire.â€™ The second word le-Teavon (for (his) desire), is a predicate added to the basic ancient term Meshumad, â€˜apostate.â€™ This model and new phrasing are connected mainly with Rava, who was a prominent sage who lived in 4th century CE in Mehoza, close to Ctesiphon, the capitol of the Persian Sassanian dynasty. The Syriac word Shmad is well attested, and more so since the early testimonies of Syriac literature, in different forms, connected to the semantic field of curse, ban, and excommunication. Only in sources from the 5-6th centuries CE do we find a new form of that root Meshamdotho, which suggests â€˜lewdness,â€™ â€˜to be wanton.â€™ The new form changes the focus of the root from describing the wrongdoing and its social implication to describing the manner of doing, maybe even to the motive for his or her behavior. My presentation will raise the question of the connection between those almost parallel changes. Are they related to one another? In what way? What is similar and what are the differences? Can we explain the reason for raising a new paradigm in communal defining the apostates and wrong doers? I will examine some sources, Jewish and Christian, that relate to those terms and ideas.
New Linguistic Horizons in Medieval Europe
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Russia, Klestov Alexander
Published: February 2024

The article focuses on the idea of the formation of European civilization and, in this connection, to the discovery of linguistic possibilities in the Middle Ages. The author draws attention to the works of Amable Jourdain, who discovered the paths of Aristotle's philosophy in the 12th-13th centuries, the works on the intellectual renaissance of the 12th century by Charles Gaskins, and the works on religiosity of this period by L. P. Karsavin; the later are still, however, little studied. I have singled out, following these scholars, the figures of Aristotle, Francis of Assisi, and Angela of Foligno, as leaders in the history of the extension of linguistic horizons in New Europe.
Pomak Language Unboundedâ€¦ Through an Anthropological View
Authors:   Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, Ioannidou Elisabeth
Published: February 2024

Until November 1995, Pomak villages were confined to the parts of Greek Thrace bounded by a bar. As a remnant of the â€˜iron curtain,â€™ the bar kept these populations and their language isolated. This restriction forced people into introversion, self-reliance and conservatism. These tendencies were reflected in the Pomak, along with an attempt at cultural self-identification, which is generally observed in minority languages. After the removal of the bar and the reconnection with Greek society, Pomak has continued to be used orally, and by only a few specific circles to be spoken publicly, e.g., in the online newspaper Zagalisa. What nowadays characterizes the Pomak is extroversion, but at the same time with a tendency for differentiation (Î½Î±ÏƒÎ­Ï‚ Î Î¿Î¼Î¬Ï„ÏƒÎºÎµÏ‚ Î³Î¹ÎµÎ¶Î¯Îº / nases Pomakski jazik), for self-determination, and selective memory management. The selective use of the imperfect verb tense (formed as present perfect continuous) in narratives and narratives related to cultural data highlights the cultural and political dimension of language. Simple present and simple past tenses dominate the modern narratives, clearly indicating the concerns of the linguistic groups that represent them: Pomak cultural identity in the present and in the past. A bounded Pomak linguistic and cultural tradition, continuing through space and time, after the bar-removal, in fact, became ...Unbounded. Both the transition and the adaptation of the Pomak to the new global linguistic environment were the main research lines of this study.
Singing Fado in Contemporary Lisbon: Questions of Boundedness
Authors:   National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, Kakosimou Olga
Published: February 2024

Understanding the oral tradition of fado, requires a profound engagement with the power of its narrativity and its lyrics (Castelo-Branco 1997; Abu-Lughod 1986). Fado is a poetical world of stories being told (sung) and shared in everyday life between those who understand and mainly possess the fado linguagem. It is a broad corpus of words and utterances, pre-existing melodies and repertoires, meanings, and performances, that creates the aesthetic vocabulary of fado and a strong sense of traditionality and boundedness, often disregarded by the global music scene and industry (Gray 2018). This sense also derives from fadoâ€™s close interaction with the historical past of Portugal and the collective memory of the community, both performatively and lyrically. However, now that the Portuguese urban song of longing has turned its gaze to globality, especially since 2011 when recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, there are severe questions regarding how the traditional language of fado could be in dialogue with contemporary musical trends, and at what price. How might the fadistas negotiate or not their musical and cultural identity in front of new, global audiences? In this paper, I will attempt to sculpt the boundedness of the fado universe. Therefore, fado lyrics will be my point of departure to unfold the storytellings and the set of sign types, mainly symbols and metaphors, that help understand the fadistasâ€™ linguagem and their way of being-in-the-world (Turino 2008). Then, by using original ethnographic material, I will examine the dialogue between fado and the modern music industry.
Sustaining Regional Linguistic Ideologies in Greece: Responding to the Question of Hellenism
Authors:   SOAS, University of London, U.K., Hadzantonis Michael
Published: February 2024

Greeceâ€™s language landscapes are complex, as are the ideologies that extend throughout the region through the use of language These ideologies are infrequently explicit and hence buried in the appropriation of the language. Similarly, the ideologies appear as patterned, for example, Spartan language ideologies are frequently connected to exercise and physical adroitness, whereas Dodecanese language ideologies address ideologies of abruptness and harsh climates through phonological rules that replace nasals with plosives and ejectives. This paper complements work on the documenting of Greeceâ€™s dialects, which has been an extensive multi decade ethnography of the countryâ€™s language landscape. I present my work on the description of language ideologies and how they appear through language in various parts of the country, in order to respond to te questions, what is Greece, and how is it presented through the use of language? While the question is broad, the response to this question does not intend to be an exhaustive one, but rather, the response seeks to inform understandings of Hellenicity and its continuity from prehistory until the present time. This study draws on the frameworks of linguistic ideologies and entextualization as methodical frameworks. The language documentation has thus far spanned several decades.
Verbal Suggestion within the Russian World-View War against Ukraine. Technologies of Counter-Suggestion
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Slukhai Nataliia , Slukhai Sergii ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: February 2024

The worldview war is an important front of the aggression initiated by Russia against Ukraine. The need to be more competent when partaking of todayâ€™s flow of information necessitates an analysis of the means of verbal suggestion and manipulation used by the aggressor. It is shown in the paper that key features characterizing the ongoing worldview warfare (consciental, cognitive, conceptual) include chaotization, narrativity, an increased number of pathogenic texts and a high suggestivity. We distinguish the following types of suggestive (manipulative) influence: verbal suggestion, paraverbal suggestion and non-verbal suggestion. Verbal suggestion plays the leading role here. The aggressorâ€™s dominating intentions in using verbal suggestion means are uncovered and efficiency of counter-suggestion analysed. Our analysis gives a sweeping overview of which verbal means may be available to amp a societyâ€™s capacity to be mobilized for a purpose, in times when national unity becomes a matter of survival.
Second Language Identity Formation through Russian Folklore Texts
Authors:   Peoples Friendship University of Russia, Russia, Rubakova Inna I. , Carluccio Antonio ,   Peoples Friendship University of Russia, Russia
Published: February 2024

In this article, we analyze the possibility of employing short Russian folklore examples of chastushka during the development of second language identities of philology students studying Russian as a foreign language. As observed, studying folklore texts in a foreign language environment contributes to the enhancing of the level of ethnolinguistic competence, which is important for understanding a different (Russian) mentality. An effective example of such texts may be the chastushka genre, as one of the few that actively develops through the deployment of various factors. Among its main characteristics, it includes a set of rules and norms of behavior, and a collective assessment of what is happening, and demonstrates the symbolic content of general cultural mores. This article draws on a model of linguistic identity presented by Yu. N. Karaulov. The model comprises three levels. The most interesting of these three levels, in the case of this study, is the psycholinguistic (linguo-cognitive) level, the units of which are perceptions, ideas, and concepts. We also discuss a model of secondary linguistic personality, firstly attributable to Khaleeva in the 1990s. This model is significant in its practicality for teaching foreign languages. This paper also presents the components of the term â€˜folk concept,â€™ for which, we pay particular attention to the figurative and evaluative components, since the conceptual component is itself relatively stable. We also conduct a comparative analysis of the symbolic content of lexemes of linguistic and cultural significance. The semantic complexity of the folklore texts and their linguistic and methodological potential when working with foreign students must be and are considered when conducting such a study, along with the possibility of applying obtained results when working with literary texts, thus facilitating the attainment of a deeper understanding of literary images and symbols as additional learning material. The results of this work may be used in practical pedagogical contexts of the Russian language, as well as in courses in ethnolinguistics and folklore.

The present study aims to assess, based on a functional cognitive approach, the reading socialization skills of fourth-grade students living in a Hungarian minority situation in Slovakia and attending a minority school. The main concern of the study is how existing schemata and background knowledge influence the process of reading socialization in the native language. The research was conducted on a nationally representative sample with a total of 353 respondents attending elementary schools with Hungarian as the language of instruction in Slovakia. The study analyzes the process of comprehension of a narrative text. As such, we point out how existing cultural and cognitive schemata influence the process of reading comprehension and socialization. At several points, it can be seen that students tend to rely on their background cultural knowledge when answering the questions, without considering the content of the text, and it can also be observed that the existing schemata change during reading. The results obtained suggest that it is useful to consider the functional cognitive-cultural approach in formal language socialization. These results have the potential to impact on further linguistic research on the assessment and development of reading comprehension skills.

This study purports to investigate the relationships between socialization and cultural convergence among youth in 2019. The sample set includes youth between 15 and 30 years of age, in Mashhad, Iran, at the very Northwestern part of the Mediterranean and European region. According to statistics of the municipality of the city, the population of this demographic is 868.357 at the present time. To develop the study, I employed the Cochran formula, and I thus determined a sample size of 383. To aid the methodical framework, I surveyed and applies a researcher-created questionnaire, following which, I appled the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and statistical analysis. The data, the analysis, and the results all suggest a positive and significant relationship between awareness of community values and social mores. As such, in the paper, I ultimately argue for the implementation of training strategies that assist this demographic, and those beyond, to strengthen their socialization during cultural convergence.
Global Governance: A Discursive-communicational Approach
Authors:   Autonomous University of Lisbon, Portugal, Godinho Luisa
Published: February 2024

The recent pandemic has made evident the need for global responses, leading to the resurgence of the issue of global governance, which I propose to discuss in a communicational approach. Global governance, a concept with a long tradition in the humanities and the social sciences, has reappeared after the slow but effective process of erosion of the nation-state. However, its effectiveness depends on the consolidation of a global public sphere, a symbolic space capable of making the connection between world society and global political elites, and that may compensate for the void left by the crisis of national public spheres. This symbolic space is based on language and mass-self communication processes, which allow the sharing of meanings around the world. The diffusion of meanings will guarantee horizontal (between societies) and vertical (between societies and global political elites) communication of the fundamental values of the global social contract.
Greek English Code Switching Practices in Diasporic Societies: A Comparative Study of Adelaide, Australia and Queens, New York

Published: February 2024

This paper presented addresses the documentation of Greek-English code-switching practices across several contexts. These are the Greek diaspora in Adelaide, South Australia, in Queens, a borough of New York, and Athens, in Greece. While the languages remain the same, as English and Greek, and both Greek immigrants seek to achieve competence in the standardized Greek, while the Greek nationals seek to achieve competence in a standardized English, when switching, the styles differ markedly. As such, switching appears to be influenced by covert factors, such as local language ideologies. The paper reports these different switching practices and presents motives for their diversity, despite the common use of these language codes across all documented contexts.
The Social Dimension of Language Impairment

Most research on children with atypical language has focused on language difficulties per se, such as difficulties in syntax, vocabulary, speech production, or pragmatic competence. Whereas there is ample evidence that language difficulties lead to literacy difficulties (Stackhouse and Wells 1997), the social dimension of these difficulties very often goes overlooked and thus requires scholarly work. However, in order to develop a comprehensive view of language impairment, one would also do well to take into consideration the range of factors related to the language-impaired individual, their home, and to other domestic environments, their educational experiences, and the overall social environment of the person. For example, children who exhibit traits of language impairment often experience behavioural and emotional difficulties. These difficulties may continue into adulthood and may affect academic achievements (Botting et al. 2016). These difficulties have a significant impact on the relationships between the language-impaired person, their fellow students, and their teachers. Moreover, extensive research has suggested that factors such as parentsâ€™ education and socio-economic status, parental attitudes, parental involvement and responsiveness all influence language socialization in non-typically developing children (Law et al. 2019). Those who exhibit elements of language-impairment may also experience difficulties in their recurring and hence common everyday situations. These situations and actions within these situations include money transactions or the need to complete official documents (Gur et al. 2020; Winstanley et al. 2018). As such, this paper constitutes a critical review of social factors implicated in language impairment. The paper first attempts a review of literature, followed by and including a critical review of this literature. The paper then attempts to place this literature and its accompanying research within a current context of language impairment. Following, the paper discusses the current state of research on language impairment through an ethnographic view. Finally, the paper concludes on current work and hence the current state of language impairment. Overall, we conclude that educators and policy makers need to take into consideration the aforementioned factors in order to not only support language in the atypical development of the individual, but also to ensure that language-impaired people are able to experience a good quality life.
