In this regard, marriage can be relied upon as a major factor in language and cultural maintenance. However, mixed marriages may contribute to language shift in the home because they can lead to a change in language use patterns among minority language speakers and their children. This means that the likelihood of preserving a minority language is greater in marriages among individuals who speak the same indigenous language than in situations in which spouses speak different languages. This study uses questionnaire data from parents of ethnically mixed marriages to explain how mixed marriages contribute to language shift from minority languages to English (Nigeria's official language), Nigerian Pidgin (informal lingua franca) and the major languages (i.e. Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba) in the home domains. The study shows that the future of minority languages will largely depend on the roles of families and the value attached to minority ethnic identity by young people, particularly those from mixed homes.

This article reports on its realization in everyday British-English conversation. In particular, it focusses on prosodic projection in the lexically and syntactically unmarked first component of this syntactic pattern, and thus adds to the body of research investigating the organization of turn-taking in the context of bi-clausal constructions with which the first part lacks explicit lexical hint, to their continuation. It is shown that the parallel-opposition construction, next to specific semantic-pragmatic, syntactic and lexical features, also exhibits a relatively fixed range of prosodic features in the first conjunct, among these narrow focus, continuing intonation and/or the avoidance of intonation-unit boundary signals. These are used to project continuation of an otherwise complete utterance and, thus, to secure the floor for the expression of contrast. In addition, the detailed analysis of apparently deviant cases, which takes into account the on-line production of syntax, shows that a lack of prosodically projective features in the first component of the parallel-opposition construction can be explained by the strategic, retrospective use of the construction to resolve problems in turn transition.}, language = {en} } @article{Kunow2009, author = {Kunow, R{\"u}diger}, title = {In sickness and in health : transnationalism reconsidered}, isbn = {978-3-8253-5652-1}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{Kunow2009, author = {Kunow, R{\"u}diger}, title = {The coming of age : the descriptive organization of later life}, isbn = {978-3-8253-1260-2}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{Mahlberg2009, author = {Mahlberg, Gaby}, title = {Henry Neville and English republican culture in the seventeenth century : dreaming of another game}, series = {Politics, culture and society in early modern Britain}, journal = {Politics, culture and society in early modern Britain}, edition = {1. publ}, publisher = {Manchester Univ.

It traces the development of Neville's political thought from the English Civil Wars to the Exclusion Crisis and beyond, while also challenging the way in which the history of ideas has been conceptualised in recent years by discussing Neville's political theory alongside his lesser known libels, shams and poetry. The book also challenges an established view of Neville based on his collaboration with the better-known philosopher James Harrington and shows Neville as a political thinker in his own right. While studies of early modern English republicanism tend to focus on the Interregnum, Neville's Plato redivivus, which promoted a restructuring of the political order, was only published after the 1660 Restoration of the monarchy. This study therefore draws attention to long-term continuities in English republican thought and introduces the concept of anti-patriarchalism to focus on what Neville and other republicans writing before 1649 or after 1660 had in common. They shared their opposition to tyranny, not monarchy, and aimed to limit the discretionary powers of the executive - a concern which links the debates between the Long Parliament and the King of 1641 to Neville's proposals to limit the powers of the Crown in 1681. The author's engagement with Neville's reputation as an atheist and crypto-Catholic also sheds new light on the role of religion in republican thought.}, language = {en} } @article{Mahlberg2009, author = {Mahlberg, Gaby}, title = {Neo-Harringtonianism and " a letter sent to General Monk" (1660) revisited}, issn = {0268-117X}, year = {2009}, abstract = {This article argues that a pamphlet entitled "A Letter Sent to General Monk" (1660) has been wrongly attributed to the English republican Henry Neville (1619-94).
