Key research themes

1. How do sociopolitical identity and ideological beliefs influence linguistic purism attitudes and behaviors?

This research area investigates the psychological and social foundations underlying linguistic purism, particularly focusing on how individual national identification and political conservatism shape attitudes towards loanwords and purism. Understanding this theme is crucial as it links identity politics and ideological dispositions with language use behaviors, offering measurable pathways through which language purism manifests at both individual and societal levels.

Key finding: This study empirically supports a two-path model where strong national identification directly predicts avoidance of loanwords, while conservative political views influence such avoidance indirectly via endorsement of... Read more
Key finding: Through ethnographic comparison, this research illuminates community-level linguistic purism as embedded in social hierarchies and group ideologies, demonstrating how linguistic purist attitudes are institutionalized or... Read more
Key finding: This work connects the ideological concept of linguistic purism to historical-nationalist projects, tracing how the 'Herderian equation' (language = culture = nation) fuels purism by linking it to personhood and identity... Read more

2. What are the sociopolitical and material critiques of viewing language as a commodity in commodification and purism debates?

This theme investigates critical economic and materialist perspectives on the commodification of language, contesting the prevalent discourse that treats language as a tradeable commodity. It challenges the reductionist assumptions in neoliberal language commodification narratives and examines purism through the lens of capitalist fetishism, labor theories, and the limits of purely discursive explanations, thus advancing the political economy approach to linguistic purism.

Key finding: This paper argues that language, unlike traditional commodities, is not a product of labor and thus cannot be fully commodified despite appearances to the contrary. It exposes the discursive commodification of language as a... Read more
Key finding: Extending the critique of language commodification, this work highlights the epistemological divide between idealized discursive valuations and material economic processes. It emphasizes that treating language as a commodity... Read more
Key finding: This empirical investigation reveals that language protection movements, often driven by purist ideology, intersect with right-wing political agendas. It uncovers the material political economy of language purism as embedded... Read more

3. How do language purism movements and standardization projects intersect with social hierarchies and power in multilingual and postcolonial contexts?

This research area focuses on the ethnographic and sociolinguistic processes whereby language purism and standardization practices reflect, reproduce, or contest social inequalities. Especially in postcolonial, multilingual, or minority language settings, purism is entangled with identity affirmation, hegemonic social formations, and linguistic legitimacy, which are crucial for understanding language politics beyond the nation-state framework.

Key finding: Through ethnographic fieldwork, the study shows how local efforts to create a standard Romani language in Prizren are deeply implicated in social hierarchies—certain speech practices are marginalized, and standardization acts... Read more
Key finding: This paper develops a raciolinguistic framework revealing how purism and language ideologies co-naturalize racial and linguistic categories within colonial and postcolonial contexts. It elucidates that purist discourses are... Read more
Key finding: Providing a theoretical overview, this paper contextualizes linguistic purism as a constitutive element in the historic formation of standard languages, clarifying that purism not only reflects normative ideals about language... Read more
