This book aims at questioning the relationship between language and identity through the description of the sociolinguistic environment of the Dongxiang language, an under-studied Mongolic language spoken by the Dongxiang people in Southern Gansu, China. We will try to understand how, through interaction between the Dongxiang people and their neighbouring Hui communities, and their relationship to Standard Chinese, contacts have deeply modified the structure of the Dongxiang language. The Dongxiang linguistic community is in a state of unconscious diglossia: there is a de facto hierarchy of languages, but it is not recognised by speakers and is not expressed in the form of a general feeling of linguistic insecurity within the community. This is reflected in the Dongxiang language, where a specific morphology has been developed to integrate lexical and syntactic borrowings, making code-switching and code-mixing virtually impossible.

New Perspectives on Mauritian Creole and Reunion Creole
Standardization, grammar and language use

In the South-West Indian Ocean, Mauritius and Reunion are part of a group of islands where French-based Creoles are spoken. In spite of their geographical proximity, Mauritian Creole and Reunion Creole are strikingly different in their morphosyntax. The first part of this volume describes some structural properties of their grammars. Both languages also differ in the degree to which they are standardized and used in education and in public spaces. One of the goals of this volume is to examine their social status and their use in writing, especially after the introduction of Mauritian Creole as a subject in schools as one of the ancestral languages. French and Bhojpuri are also part of the multilingual Mauritian context. One chapter in this volume analyses the role of Bhojpuri in the formation of Mauritian Creole, while another studies the pronunciation of Mauritian French.
