Key topics for debate included the Soviet linguistic legacy, the past and future of Russian, linguistic variation, language policy and linguistic ideologies. This book looks at how these debates featured in literature and illustrates the discussion through six interpretive readings of post-Soviet Russian prose. It analyses both the writers' explicit and implicit responses and in doing opens up new perspectives for sociolinguistic research on metalanguage. Spanning a number of theoretical fields including language variation, language policy and literary stylistics, Ingunn Lunde provides a coherent way of triangulating these fields by the introduction of the concept of performative metalanguage. The book also offers insight into the role of writers in the broader social and political context of language culture in contemporary Russia and into the various ways in which the linguistic and aesthetic practices of literary art can engage in questions related to the negotiation of linguistic norms.Key FeaturesHighlights the role of writers, and of fiction, in the language debates of post-Soviet Russia Looks at the subject from the point of view of literary language discussing six texts in detailFeatures work by Tatiana Tolstaia, Evgenii Vodolazkin, Evgenii Popov, Vladimir Sorokin, Valerii Votrin and Mikhail GigolashviliIntroduces a new concept of a 'performative metalanguage' one that opens up new perspectives for sociolinguistic research on metalanguage Analysis of Key TextsEvgenii Popov: 'The True Story of 'The Green Musicians''Vladimir Sorokin: 'Monoklon'Tatiana Tolstaia: 'The Slynx'Evgenii Vodolazkin: 'Laurus'Valerii Votrin: 'The Speech Therapist'Mikhail Gigolashvili: 'The Occupation of Muscovy: a national-linguistic novel'Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmBook Series: Russian Language and SocietyRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
