focuses on ideologies that pertain to linguistic diversity and
multilingualism from a linguistic landscape approach to education. It is to
be emphasised that ideologies pertaining to multilingualism and monolingualism
have strong systematic resemblances. So-called monolingualist labeling,
management, and control over linguistic varieties is something similar
to multilingualism-related practices described in Nikula (et al. 2012). For
example, dialects are o en evaluated positively, but dialect users are generally
criticized because they deviate from the so-called standard (cf., Milroy
2001; Kontra 2006).
In order to investigate a wide range of diversity-related ideologies,
two communities with di erent social and historical backgrounds are
compared: Hungarians who are considered standard-oriented (e.g., Kontra
2006) and Finns whose ideologies are generally not considered to be so
standard-oriented (Laihonen 2010). is study investigates how teachers
co-construct language ideologies in conversation with the researcher during
co-exploratory walking tours through their school premises.
e results support theory building, and enhance further research on
ideologies, e.g., in minority settings, where an adequate management of
linguistic diversity and variability is essential for the maintenance of various
indigenous languages. Other important elds of application are L1 and L2/
L3 education.
