Bakgrunn

Elizabeth Lanza er professor i lingvistikk ved Universitetet i Oslo. Fra 1. juni 2013 er hun leder for Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing) som er et senter for fremragende forskning i Norges forskningsråds SFF-program. Fra januar 2007 til mars 2008 var hun leder for Fransk - norsk senter for humaniora og samfunnsvitenskap i Paris. Lanza er medlem av Det Norske Videnskaps-Akademi.

Lanza tok sin doktorgrad i lingvistikk på Georgetown University i 1990 med en spesialisering i sosiolingvistikk. Hennes viktigste forskningsinteresser er tospråklighet/ flerspråklighet hvor hennes forskningsarbeider hovedsaklig er sosiolingvistisk orientert med perspektiver fra diskursanalyse/samtaleanalyse.

Lanza sitter i Editorial Board for tidsskriftene International Journal of Bilingualism utgitt av Sage, Bilingualism: Language and Cognition utgitt av Cambridge University Press, Linguistic Landscape (John Benjamins), Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, Multilingual Margins (University of Western Cape, South Africa) og bokserien IMPACT: Studies in Language and Society (John Benjamins).

Lanza er medlem av Scientific Advisory Board for Centre for Multilingualism and Diversities Research på University of the Western Cape, Sør Afrika; External Advisory Board for Center for Multilingual and Intercultural Communication på Stony Brook University; og Steering Group for prosjektet Translation and Translanguaging: Investigating Linguistic and Cultural Transformations in Superdiverse Wards in Four UK Cities (2014 - 2018), finansiert av det britiske AHRC; Advisory Committee for British Academys Special Research Project om Cognitive Benefits of Language Learning, University College London, UK (2016 – 2017); og Advisory Board for OWRI Open World Research Initiative-prosjektet Language and Community in a Globalising World, finansiert av AHRC (juli 2016 – 2019). Lanza har også deltatt i styret for forskningsprosjektet UPUS Utviklingsprosesser i urbane språkmiljøer — konvergens og divergens, finansiert av Norges forskningsråd.

Lanza var leder for den lokale arrangementskomiteen for International Symposium on Bilingualism (ISB8) som ble holdt på Universitetet i Oslo 15. - 18. juni 2011. Konferansen var en del av Universitetets 200-års jubileumsfeiring. På ISB8 ble Lanza valgt som Chair of the Steering Committee for ISB for en fire-års periode (2011 - 2015). Under hennes ledelse ble ISB9 holdt i Singapore i 2013 og ISB10 i New Jersey, USA, i 2015.

Pågående og planlagte forskningsprosjekter ved MultiLing og ILN

Lanzas aktuelle forskning fokuserer på spørsmål knyttet til forhold mellom språk, kultur og identitet hos flerspråklige, med særlig focus på språkpolitikk i familien. Hun er leder for forskningsprosjektet MultiFam: Språkpolitikk i flerspråklige transkulturelle familier (2015 – 2018), finansiert av Norges forskningsråd (FRIPRO prosjekt). Hun ledet det tverrfaglige forskningsprosjektet Language, Culture and Identity in Migrant Narratives (også kalt SKI-prosjektet: Språk, Kultur, Identitet) finansiert av Norges forskningsråd 2008 - 2012. Hun var i styret for forskernettverket 3M - Identities in Motion: Multilingualism, Multiculturalism, Mobility, finansiert av NordForsk (2009 - 2011).

Lanza fortsetter å arbeide med flerspråklig førstespråkstilegnelse, språksosialisering og familiespråkpolitikk. Hennes forskning dekker også språkpolitikk mer generelt. Hun har deltatt i et prosjekt om flerspråklig utdanning i Etiopia, som ble finansiert av NUFU-programmet, i samarbeid med Department of Linguistics, Addis Ababa University (2001 – 2006). Lanza deltar også på prosjektet "Lingvistisk kapasitetsbygging - verktøy for en inkluderende utvikling av Etiopia". Prosjektet mottar støtte fra Norad gjennom NORHED (2014 – 2018). Lanza forsker på sosiolingvistiske emner, spesielt på språkideologier og det lingvistiske landskapet, sammen med sin etiopiske kollega Hirut Woldemariam (Addis Ababa University).

Globalization and concomitant social, cultural, political, and economic processes have promoted both spatial and symbolic mobility leading to increased linguistic complexity. The ambiguity of this linguistic complexity in its social and political dimensions is discussed in this chapter. With Norway as a case, the assumption that linguistic diversity is inherently valuable and the often accompanying notion that there is a natural fit between diversity and democratic egalitarianism are questioned. Norwegian society is, relatively speaking, positive in its attitudes toward linguistic variation with dialects widely used by people in all social strata in both informal and formal settings. There are two written norms of Norwegian but no spoken standard. Many new Norwegian speakers find this linguistic diversity difficult and challenging to learn. Should Norwegians stop using dialects in order to accommodate the increasing immigrant population? Or should new speakers be expected to learn to understand Norwegian with all its diversity? Questioning the value of dialect diversity runs contrary to the very grain of democratic ideals in Norway. The regimes of language ideologies emerging in this situation are discussed, while drawing on theoretical frameworks underlying studies of language ideologies and democracy. Methodologically anchored in participant observation and previous research, this study also draws on media debates touching on local and global discourses in Norway. By addressing disturbances and dilemmas of linguistic complexities in society, a better understanding may come to light regarding the challenges and possibilities linguistic diversity may offer for the individual in a multilingual society.

In this article we address the issue of language and globalization by focusing on the use of international brand names and English in the linguistic landscape of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Ethiopia has been at the margins of the world economy; however, in the past decade Addis Ababa has witnessed a promising emerging economy, with many new international corporations investing in the country. The linguistic landscape is increasingly marked by the use of English, not only in general signage but also through international brand names and advertising. Moreover, a curious phenomenon has evolved in which international brand names and logos are used locally and are imparted an Ethiopian identity. The article highlights a particular case of cloning an international brand that touches on the discourse of national identity and development. The use of both English and international brand names in the linguistic landscape is perceived by locals as prestigious, indexing their aspirations towards modernity in this capital of the global South, with the notion of mobility covering not only geographical movement but also movement on a social scale. In conclusion, we relate our findings to a theoretical approach that aims to capture language in late modernity.

According to Vogue (2017) “no neighborhood better embodies Oslo’s coming-of-age than Grünerløkka, a neatly encapsulated couple of square blocks with a name that might scare off anglophones—it’s pronounced GROO-ner-loh-kuh—but with an attitude and energy that is reminiscent of New York’s Williamsburg or Bushwick, Montreal’s Mile End, or even Los Angeles’s Silver Lake”. In this paper, we investigate the changing linguistic and semiotic landscapes of Grünerløkka, Oslo’s (and possibly even Scandinavia’s) best known gentrified neighborhood. We focus on the linguistic and semiotic landscapes that have remained there within the last decade that index the multicultural, multiethnic and multilingual working-class area Grünerløkka once represented and compare them to the newer, more trendier linguistic and semiotic landscapes that index ‘authentic’ Norwegian culture and cuisine resonating cultural consumption and distinction (Zukin 1987; Stjernholm 2015; Trinch & Snajdr 2017) leading to the following research questions: How is the semiotic landscape used by different actors to argue for what they consider should be the “authentic” Grünerløkka? Secondly, how does the actual semiotic landscape translate the tensions that exist between different actors around questions of place, space and neighborhoods? And finally, how do processes of such new globalism(s) (Smith 2002) play out on an international level beyond the scope of Scandinavia? We employ a mixed methodological approach and draw on a) the “marketplace’s” (Kallen 2010) signage; b) interviews conducted with local residents and business owners; and c) texts from several online platforms. Our analysis attends to the ways in which Grünerløkka has managed to remain ethnically diverse, while simultaneously catering to a growing new gentry (Warf 2000; Gonçalves, fc, 2018) through the dialectical relationship between commercial interests and residents’ initiatives and resistance on a local level, which are also taking place in urban areas globally.
