Language, Place, and Heritage: Reflexive Cultural Luxembourgishness in Wisconsin
I secured a Worldwide Universities Network grant that funded the panel on ‘Germanic Languages in North America’ at the FGLS8/ GLAC15/ SHEL6 conference (Banff, Canada, 2009). A selection of papers appears in the special issue of JGL, which breaks new ground in the field of language and migration by combining sociolinguistic research with other branches of the social sciences and humanities. My article combines work in sociolinguistics with research in cultural geography and heritage studies. It provides an ethnographically grounded analysis of visual data in the town of Belgium, Wisconsin, the cultural capital of Luxembourgers in the United States.
