Reviews
Seals examines language and identity among Ukrainians in Ukraine and in diaspora in great depth, introducing for the first time in sociolinguistics the discourse of 'changing your mother tongue' which occurred throughout the narratives of the Ukrainians interviewed by her from 2009 to 2015. The result is a masterful study of language and identity among Ukrainians after the Orange Revolution and during a time of war., This is a compelling text set against the backdrop of the 2014-2015 war in Ukraine. Complex questions on language, imagined identities, investment, and nationhood are addressed with great skill and exemplary scholarship. Corinne Seals has made an outstanding contribution to contemporary debates on language and identity., Choosing a Mother Tongue is a remarkable illustration of the current meta-discursive debate concerning language ideology in Ukraine [...] The volume gives us an opportunity to not only better and more fully understand the linguistic and cultural specificity of the language situation in Ukraine, but also allows a glimpse of the processes of identity construction in discourse and through discourse., As the bulk of the interviews [in the book] were conducted soon after Euromaidan and the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, most of the presented excerpts discuss the impact of these developments on the interviewees' identities and language ideologies. This impact has already been established in numerous survey-based studies demonstrating Ukrainian residents' increased identification, after the tumultuous events of 2014, with the Ukrainian nationality and native language, as well as their stronger embrace of Ukraine as one's homeland. The valuable addition of Seals's book to these findings is its vivid demonstration of an underlying motivation of the change., Seals presents a multifaceted and elegantly cohesive depiction of the linguistic situation in Ukraine and its diaspora communities. In addition, though speaking about a specific people, she presents a nuanced picture of its individual members, successfully working around the problem of essentialization that typically accompanies this type of research., ...it is a pleasure to recommend this book to several audiences. Novice linguists will delight in how sociolinguistic concepts are brought to life. Students interested in discourse analysis will benefit from scholarly examples of oral-text interpretation. The narratives of these young Ukrainians offer a better understanding of the complexity of the country's language question, and provide insights into the struggles of imagined identities in the diaspora. Those with specific attitudes to events in Ukraine will be coaxed into critical engagement by the similarities and divergences expressed by young people - some of whom will become the leaders shaping Ukraine's future., Seals' book is an empirically rich, theoretically relevant and stylistically approachable contribution. It will be of value to scholars working on language and identity in post-soviet contexts, or contexts of migration, and to those interested in language shift and language maintenance. It also has an easy to read style, which makes it relevant to advanced scholars as well as those who are new to the field., Corinne Seals deftly combines fine-grained discourse analysis with a transnational perspective, shedding new light on the dynamics of language and identity construction in Ukraine and its diasporas. This is a valuable book for sociolinguists and regional scholars interested in the impact of the ongoing war on national ideologies and linguistic choices.
