Thank you Ingrid. Also, great quote here — I’m going to save it for future use (making sure to give out due credit!): ‘The research frontier in sociolinguistics is not in linguistic diversity per se but at the fault zones where multilingual practices meet monolingual ideologies’

BTW, I#m reading your entry from Hamburg, where, ironically, I’m spending a lot of time in English — more than I would like, actually. This is due at least in part to the hegemony of English in academe, and the fact that I’ve never published, or written in German. In fact, to ‘artificially’ increase my German writing-speaking opportunities here in Germany, I’m writing a Tagesbuch with daily entries in German.
