ǂa ǂpolitics and history of indistinction in the Upper Sorbian community
Elizabeth Spreng (Author)

Abstract

The article focused on the cultural processes that affect speakers of Upper Sorbian, an endangered Slavic community in Eastern Germany. Through an anthropological approach, language choices emerge as a complex negotiation of linguistic identity evidenced in critique of other Sorbs and language use as well as choosing to distance oneself from the community.

Secondary abstract: Prispevek se osredinja na kulturne procese, ki vplivajo na govorce gornje lužiščine, ogrožene slovanske skupnosti v Vzhodni Nemčiji. Antropološki pristop razkriva, da se jezikovna izbira pojavlja kot kompleksno pogajanje z jezikovno identiteto, kar se potrjuje v kritiki drugih Srbov in rabe jezika ter v distanciranju posameznika od skupnosti.
