Synopsis

This collected volume focuses on the language situation in wartime Ukraine. The research employs the methods of language biography, linguistic landscape as well as media and discourse analysis. The contributions depict a holistic picture of the language situation, use, and attitudes. The volume's novelty is in presenting rich empirical data and a detailed description of various linguistic minorities in Ukraine (Hungarians, Romanians, Gagauz, and others), their language behavior and attitudes towards state and regional language policy. The language biography interview and sociolinguistic survey data shed light on the processes of language shifts that occur in Ukraine and are accelerated by the war situation. Furthermore, the volume elucidates the impact of the war on the language situation and compares national and regional perspectives of language use. The volume's contributors are: Bohdan Azhniuk, Ivanna Car, Maryna Deliusto, Lesia Hychko, Nadiya Kiss, Andrii Kolesnykov, Nataliia Matvieeva, Svitlana Nemyrovska, Anastasiia Onatii, Liudmyla Pidkuimukha, Olena Ruda, Vasyl Sharkan, Halyna Shumytska, Svitlana Sokolova, and Taras Tkachuk.
