  abstract  = {Language portraits are useful instruments to elicit speakers' reflections on the languages in their repertoires. In this study, we implement a "portrait-corpus approach" (Peters and Coetzee-Van Rooy 2020) to investigate the conceptualisations of the languages Afrikaans and English in 105 language portraits. In this approach, we use participants' reflections about their placement of the two languages on a human silhouette as a linguistic corpus. Relying on quantitative and qualitative analyses using WordSmith, Statistica and Atlas.ti, our study shows that Afrikaans is mainly conceptualised as a language that is located in more peripheral areas of the body (for example, the hands and feet) and, hence, is perceived as less important in participants' repertoires. The central location of English in the head reveals its status as an important language in the participants' multilingual repertoires. We argue that these conceptualisations of Afrikaans and English provide additional insight into the attitudes towards these languages in South Africa.},

  abstract  = {We discuss an intervention programme for kindergarten and school teachers' continuing education in Germany that targets biases against language outside a perceived monolingual 'standard' and its speakers. The programme combines anti-bias methods relating to linguistic diversity with objectives of raising critical language awareness. Evaluation through teachers' workshops in Berlin and Brandenburg points to positive and enduring attitudinal changes in participants, but not in control groups that did not attend workshops, and effects were independent of personal variables gender and teaching subject and only weakly associated with age. We relate these effects to such programme features as indirect and inclusive methods that foster active engagement, and the combination of 'safer' topics targeting attitudes towards linguistic structures with more challenging ones dealing with the discrimination of speakers.},

  abstract  = {Nach einer langen Phase der Restriktion und Bek{\"a}mpfung durch die staatliche Sprachpolitik erleben Regionalsprachen in Frankreich seit den 1970er Jahren verst{\"a}rktes Interesse und private sowie staatliche F{\"o}rderungen. Dies gilt auch f{\"u}r das Bretonische. Trotz des kontinuierlichen R{\"u}ckgangs der Sprecher*innenzahl ist eine konstruierte Verbindung zwischen bretonischer Sprache und einer „bretonischen Identit{\"a}t" bemerkbar, die sich in positiven Spracheinstellungen zu der Regionalsprache {\"a}ußert. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit analysiert anhand von {\"o}ffentlich ausgestrahlten Videointerviews mit den Spitzenkandidat*innen der Regionalwahlen im Jahr 2021 Spracheinstellungen zum Bretonischen. In einem diskursanalytischen Ansatz werden die m{\"u}ndlichen {\"A}ußerungen der Politiker*innen auf explizite und implizite positive sowie negative Bewertungen der bretonischen Sprache hin untersucht. Interview{\"u}bergreifende Muster in den auftretenden Metaphern, Argumentationsstrukturen und Topoi weisen auf kollektive Wissensbest{\"a}nde und Annahmen hin, auf denen die Spracheinstellungen basieren. Diese bilden die Grundlage f{\"u}r sprachliche sowie sprachpolitische Handlungen.},
