Reihe: Schriften des Instituts für Migrationsforschung und Interkulturelle Studien (IMIS)

This volume is concerned with the language problems inherent to a society marked by migratory processes. The dimensions of these problems are looked at from various angles, in particular with respect to multilingualism and the path from verbal to written proficiency.The book is divided into three parts dealing with the theoretical concepts, those from nonlanguage disciplines such as political science, history, and law as well as the systematic foundations of linguistic reasoning. Also discussed are the consequences resulting from such studies with respect to political questions of integration, practical matters in (intercultural) education as well as further concerns from linguistic and didactic research.The interdisciplinary nature of this volume is a reflection of the author’s participation in the graduate program “Migration in Modern Europe” of the IMIS as well as the results of research projects with Moroccan immigrant children.

Leseproben

This volume concerns the speech problems found in persons with a migration background. They are studied both from the vantage point of the relevant disciplines and with respect to the various dimensions of this field, such as multilingualism and the path from spoken to written language. The book is divided into three parts: the concepts in the pretheoretical area, concepts in the nonlinguistic disciplines (political sciences, history, law), and finally the systematic foundations of linguistic reasoning. Also touched upon are the consequences of this approach to the political questions of integration, the practical matters of education (intercultural education) as well as further linguistic and speech linguistic research. The interdisciplinary aspect of this work reflects the author’s participation in the Postgraduate Seminar 'Migration in Modern Europe' of the IMIS as well as the results of research projects with Moroccan migration children.>
