The University of Jyväskylä’s Discourse Studies Research
Team has announced the launch of a new website that brings together research
and multilingual minority language communities to showcase creative uses of
language in everyday life.
The website, Jyväskylä Discourse Hub (www.discoursehub.fi),
includes
* examples of community and research-led initiatives to
increase awareness of language practices within minority and indigenous
language communities
* an invitation for individuals, communities, and
researchers to share their projects related to creative uses of language
* a clearinghouse for research that investigates the ways in
which language practices change and how languages are managed and maintained in
multilingual communities, and
* responses to Frequently Asked Questions about Nexus
Analysis, a discourse analytic framework
taken up by the research team.
