| description | In critical sociolinguistics, language is viewed as a fundamentally
social phenomenon that is defined discursively, rather than in terms
of individual beliefs and attitudes, and because linguistic practices are
themselves intersubjective. Moreover, the broader cultural, historical, and
political aspects have also become relevant in the study of language, requiring
new ways of addressing sociolinguistic issues. Linguistic ethnography may
be a central tool in this inquiry, as it looks at everyday practices in order to
understand wider social structures. In this paper, I argue that a festival as
a place of encounters provides an adequate context for such research. After
discussing the different concepts of the field in doing ethnographic work,
I examine the online presence of the festival in question. Tusványos is an
event organized in Transylvania every year, with the intention of bringing
together Hungarian participants from Hungary and Romania, as well as
Romanians. |
