Post-Nationalism and Language Commodification

Author(s):  
Joan Pujolar

Language commodification refers to processes by which language is constructed as an element that can be brought into a process of economic exchange or accountability. The terms tertiarization, neoliberalism, and globalization are commonly used to express the wide socioeconomic context of linguistic commodification. In the first section of this chapter, these terms are defined and explained. Then three examples of language commodification are examined in detail. The final discussion section explores the implications of these phenomena for the ways in which the scope of language planning, until recently limited to aspects of government intervention on language, should be expanded to new issues and contexts.

SUMMARY Neologisms and Language Planning in Quebec This article discusses government intervention in language matters, particularly in the area of terminology. How, it questions, does the government of Quebec approach the planning of French terminology in legislative texts and political announcements relative to such aspects of language it wishes to influence as the introduction of neologisms, borrowing, and the use of regionalisms? The author suggests a two-sided approach to language management is at work, one that conceives of terminology from an institutional point of view and advocates situation-specific language intervention solutions. For the Office of the French Language, one concrete means of terminology management has been to develop internal neologistic planning and then, since 1975, to extend these efforts within an international neologistic network, in conjunction with other francophone communities, particularly European ones. These perspectives guide reflections on the role of neologisms in the process of language planning in Quebec. RESUMO Neologismoj kaj lingvo-planado en Kebekio La artikolo traktas registaran intervenon en lingvajn demandojn, precipe rilate al terminologio. Kiel, ĝi demandas, la registaro de Kebekio aliras la planadon de franc-lingva terminologio en legfaraj tekstoj kaj politikaj anoncoj, en rilato al tiu aŭ alia aspekto de la lingvo, ce kiu gi deziras interveni, kiel ekzemple neologismoj, pruntado, regionismoj? La aŭtoro sugestas, ke dufaceta aliro al lingvoprizorgo okazas—aliro, kiu konceptas la terminologion de institucia vidpunkto kaj samtempe pledas por in-tervenaj solvoj adaptitaj al specifaj celoj. Ce la Oficejo de la Franca Lingvo, unu konkreta metodo de terminologia prizorgo estas evoluigo de interna neologisma planado kaj, depost 1975, plivastigo de tiuj klopodoj ene de internacia neologisma reto, kun-labore kun aliaj franclingvaj komunumoj, precipe eŭropaj. Tiuj perspektivoj kondukas al komentoj pri la rolo de neologio en la procedo de lingva prizorgo en Kebekio.

In this study, an effort is made to model the thermal conduction and mass diffusion phenomena in perspective of Buongiorno’s model and Cattaneo-Christov theory for 2D flow of magnetized Burgers nanofluid due to stretching cylinder. Moreover, the impacts of Joule heating and heat source are also included to investigate the heat flow mechanism. Additionally, mass diffusion process in flow of nanofluid is examined by employing the influence of chemical reaction. Mathematical modelling of momentum, heat and mass diffusion equations is carried out in mathematical formulation section of the manuscript. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) in Wolfram Mathematica is utilized to analyze the effects of physical dimensionless constants on flow, temperature and solutal distributions of Burgers nanofluid. Graphical results are depicted and physically justified in results and discussion section. At the end of the manuscript the section of closing remarks is also included to highlight the main findings of this study. It is revealed that an escalation in thermal relaxation time constant leads to ascend the temperature curves of nanofluid. Additionally, depreciation is assessed in mass diffusion process due to escalating amount of thermophoretic force constant.
