Recently, for what it’s worth, I ran across an interesting – although very academic – PhD dissertation on some aspects of linguistic anthropology and multilingualism in the Banat. If I missed it before, and this is old news, sorry. If not, and if any listers have time to read it, and have any thoughts, I’d be very interested in your reactions. It is titled “Language Ideologies in the Romanian Banat” by Petterei Laihonen, a 2009 PhD dissertation at the University of Jyvaskyla., and it can be found at https://jyx.jyu.fi/dspace/bitstream/handle/123456789/20324/9789513936082.pdf;jsessionid=E5FBDA0A43474629E78790046B175153?sequence=1 In it, Laihonen says, “This is the first study of the Banat using modern sociolinguistic framework. From the perspective of language ideologies, my work has drawn attention to this neglected, but important region.” All the best, Marilyn
