Migration caused by European wars and the collapse of the Soviet Union is analysed comparitively under the headings of (co-)ethnic migration and ethnically privileged migration. Particular attention is paid to the question of what happened to these co-ethnic groups after their resettlement in their putative ethnic homeland.

Spotlights on Russian and Balkan Slavic Cultural History

The present conference volume is an attempt to extend the scope of Eastern European linguistics by bringing together contributions from the fields of sociolinguistics and social anthropology hitherto neglected in the study of Eastern European languages. The collection of papers focusses primarily on cultural and linguistic hybridity in contexts of marginalization. Special attention is given to the language-identity nexus. All analyses are based on field research covering the spectrum from largescale questionnaire elicitation to participant observation. This reflects the editors' concern and hope for a renewed appreciation of field work by Slavic scholars. The volume is structured thematically, dealing withas diverse topics as cultural hybridity, linguistic identity in borderland communities, language death and genesis, code-mixing, as well as dialect shift under conditions of sociopolitical upheaval. Among the languages treated are Kashubian, Banat Bul-garian, Aegean Macedonian, Slovene, non-standard and contact varieties of Russian (Karelian-Russian, Old settlers' Russian, Russian lexifier pidgins and Russian foreigner talk), mixed lects (Surzhyk and Trasianka), and standard-dialect-continua in Ex-Yugoslavia.

Studies in Slavic Contact and Borderland Varieties

Marginal Linguistic Identities

Eine Stadt, mein Herz - in deinen engen Gassen fühl ich mich beschützt. Sie ist voller Leben, voller Ungeduld. Mal schön, mal hässlich, doch immer fair. In ihrer unbeschnittenen Freiheit jung und stockbesoffen. Die Nacht umarmt mich und führt meinen scheuen Blick ins Dunkel des Vergnügens. Jauchzen könnt ich vor Staunen und Glück, in dieser Stadt zu leben. Auf alten Beinen steht sie - doch jung in den Hüften und gnädig im Kopf. Fehler sind ihr Reichtum, Makel ihr Gesetz.
