Kajian ini meneliti sikap bahasa dan pemertahanan identiti komuniti sempadan di Kampung Telok Melano, Lundu (Sarawak, Malaysia) dan Desa Temajuk, Sambas (Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia). Objektif khusus kajian adalah untuk meninjau sikap bahasa dan penjelmaan identiti melalui bahasa, yang akhirnya membentuk dua identiti yang berbeza. Pengumpulan data kajian berasaskan pendekatan kualitatif iaitu melalui rakaman perbualan, wawancara dan pemerhatian ikut serta. Dalam kajian awal ini, seramai 12 orang informan iaitu 6 orang dari Kampung Telok Melano dan 6 orang dari Desa Temajuk telah dipilih berdasarkan kaedah pensampelan kuota. Soalan wawancara dirangka mengikut beberapa domain daripada tiga ciri sikap bahasa yang dikemukakan oleh Garvin & Mathiot (1968) iaitu kesetiaan bahasa, kebanggaan bahasa dan kesedaran akan norma bahasa. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan kesetiaan bahasa, kebanggaan bahasa dan kesedaran akan norma bahasa, khususnya terhadap bahasa ibunda dan bahasa kebangsaan adalah tinggi dalam kalangan kedua-dua komuniti yang dikaji. Dari aspek pemertahanan identiti, kajian mendapati masyarakat di Kampung Telok Melano yang asalnya beridentitikan ‘Melayu Sambas’, telah beralih menjadi ‘Melayu Sarawak’ sejak pembentukan Malaysia pada tahun 1963. Kajian awal ini telah menyediakan asas penyelidikan untuk kajian lanjutan pada masa hadapan berkaitan dengan isu bahasa dan identiti masyarakat sempadan di bahagian barat daya Sarawak. [This study emphasises on the language attitude and the defence of the border community identity at Kampung Telok Melano, Lundu (Sarawak, Malaysia) and Desa Temajuk, Sambas (Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia). The primary objective of the study is to observe the language attitude and the creation of an identity through language to form two distinct different identities. The collection of data for the study is based on a qualitative approach through recorded conversations, interviews, and participant observations. In this preliminary observation, a total of 12 informants where 6 people from Kampung Telok Melano and another 6 people from Desa Temajuk were selected based on the quota sampling method. Interview questions were framed according to a few domains based on the three characteristics of language attitude proposed by Garvin and Mathiot (1968) which are language loyalty, language pride and awareness of the norms. The findings of this study indicated that the language loyalty and awareness of the norms specifically towards the mother tongue and national language are high in these two communities. In the aspect of defence of the border community identity, the study had found that the Kampung Telok Melano community original identity were Sambas Malays who had since shifted to Sarawak Malays since the formation of Malaysia in 1963. This preliminary study had prepared the basis for further studies related to language issues and the identity of the border communities at the southwestern region of Sarawak.]

Unique Identity

This article attempts a comparative analysis of code-switching and code-mixing in the Nigerian music industry, using the lyrics of Flavour and 9ice as a case study. Although the English language is the national language in Nigeria and the language used by most of the musicians for the composition of their songs, and due to the linguistic plurality of Nigeria, most of these musicians tend to lace their songs chunks of words and phrases from their mother tongue or at least one of the three major languages in Nigeria, which are Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba. The Markedness Model by Myers-Scotton (1993) is used as the framework to interrogate the switching and mixing in the codes used by these selected musicians and we find that while most code-switching is done in three languages – English, Nigerian Pidgin and the artist’ first language (mother tongue)  – their mother tongue plays the prominent role. Code-switching or code-mixing in these songs, therefore, becomes a depiction of the Nigerian state with its diverse languages and it provides the links between the literates and the illiterates thereby giving the artiste the popularity desired. The study concludes that the unique identity created by code-switching and code-mixing in the Nigerian music industry has a positive influence on music lovers, helping artists to achieve wide patronage and reflecting the ethnolinguistic diversity of the Nigerian nation.

Francis of Education (print)/1474-8479 (online) Article 2010 Language in education debates in Hong Kong focus on the role and status of English (as the former colonial language and an important means for international communication); Cantonese, the mother tongue of the majority of the population; and Putonghua, the national language of China. This paper examines the language policy formulated in 1997–1998, and finds that it radically departed from previous policies by mandating the use of Cantonese as the medium of instruction in secondary schools. The paper then analyses two subsequent policy revisions and concludes that, while the tonal emphasis on mother-tongue education has remained, the policy revisions have reversed the language policy to previous practices that emphasised the importance of English.

Looking at Holocaust testimonies, which in her view always involve some form of translation, the author seeks to develop an ethics of translation in the context of Levinas’ hyperbolic ethics of responsibility. Calling on Benjamin and Derrida to make explicit the precipitous task of the translator, she argues that the translator faces an ethical call or assignation that resembles the fundamental structure of Levinasian subjectivity. The author relates the paradoxes of translation in Holocaust testimony to Levinas’ silence on the problem of translation—puzzling if one considers Levinas’ focus on the ethical essence of language, his multilingualism, and the fact that he wrote his texts in a second language. She proposes that the trace of the philosopher’s displacement from his linguistic community can be discerned in his exilic conception of ethical subjectivity and in the testimonial impetus that animates his work. Thus, although Levinas’ Saying is posited as a translinguistic horizon that transcends the boundaries of a particular national language, it carries the remainder of the disavowed loss of the mother tongue.

Individual Ownership

The ‘native language’ (the mother tongue) is one of the most decisive identity factors of a nation. Besides being of political importance, it carries a high emotional value and is strongly related to culture. Due to technology, particularly the Internet and due to individual ownership of computers people have more opportunities to interact and cooperate with others outside their local community (Nakakoji, 1996). As a consequence, software products must be used in different countries. As early as 1960, the first technological steps were made by IBM (Hensch, 2005) in order to find ways of processing and displaying Japanese characters. Initially, the prime concern was an adequate representation of national characters (including diacritical characters of European languages), typically called national language support. In the meantime, an ever increasing number of people are in need of using software products. Technological progress allows communication via pictures and also via colorful, animated displays showing people in their natural surroundings, resulting in software products becoming a part of their daily environment. Computers today execute more complex tasks in closer imitation of human behavior. As a consequence people expect the computer to adapt to their individual culture.

Border Communities

Border communities suffer greater degrees of poverty and disadvantage than other areas, linked to their peripherality. In particular, where the border is contested, communities on either side are less likely to take advantage of facilities and opportunities across the border. Lifelong learning has recently been suggested as a means of attracting adult learners to return to education in order to tackle unemployment and socio-economic disadvantage. Through a case study approach, this paper examines the difficulties and possibilities of developing a cross-border community outreach education programme for adult learners, while also exploring the nature of borders and their impact on identities and communities at a time of change.

Increasing the insufficient intake of vegetables in children may be difficult, due to the influence of parents and at-home accessibility. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between self-reported vegetable consumption behaviors and preferences of mothers and the behaviors and preferences of their children, as declared by them. The nationally representative Polish (n = 1200) and Romanian (n = 1157) samples of mothers of children aged 3–10 were obtained using the random quota sampling method, and interviewed for their and their children’s general frequency of consumption and preferences of vegetables in years 2012–2014. A 24 h dietary recall of vegetable consumption was conducted for mothers and their children. Associations were observed for general number of servings consumed per day by mother–child pairs (p < 0.0001; R = 0.6522, R = 0.6573 for Polish and Romanian samples, respectively) and number of types indicated as preferred (p < 0.0001; R = 0.5418, R = 0.5433). The share of children consuming specific vegetables was 33.1–75.3% and 42.6–75.7% while their mothers also consumed, but 0.1–43.2% and 1.2–22.9% while their mothers did not. The share of children preferring specific vegetables was 16.7–74.1% and 15.2–100% when their mother shared the preference, but 1.3–46.9% and 0–38.3% when their mother did not. The mothers’ vegetable consumption behaviors and preferences may be a factor limiting the possibility of increasing vegetable consumption in their children.
