Mobility, Contact, and Flows - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Economic development
        Political forces
        Environmental disruption
        Technology
    - - Problems:
        
        Homogenization (things becoming more the same in different places)
        
        Domination (where one particular country, culture, or ideology exercises power over others)
      - Consequences
        
        Deterritorilization
        
        resources accumulate different kinds of meanings and associations and influence and are influenced by resources originating from different places, sometimes forming new resources
        
        Resources shaped by mobility
        
        Accessibility and competence to interact with other resources
        
        Resources shaped for mobility
    - - Documentary of trajectories followed by people throughout their lives
    - - Context are dynamic; always changing as different kinds of people and resources "flow" through them
- - - - Occurs when, for one reason or another, different codes, varieties, registers, and even genres come into contact, leading to a range of possible results
    - - Linguistic behavior of people who use these resources
        
        e.g mix codes when speaking or switch codes in different situations
      - Resources themselves
        
        e.g. lexical item of a code might be incorporated into another (borrowing)/ two might merge to form new code
    - - Diglossia
        
        when two or more "lang"/varieties are used for different things in a society
        
        High (H) variety
        Low (L) variety
      - Lang Shift
        
        When two different codes/varieties come into contact with one another, especially when speakers of a code/variety have more political, military or social power, one of them can supplant the other
        
        Could cause a code/variety to die out
    - - Pidgin
        
        Combining elements from separate codes to form a new variety used in situations of limited contact
        
        Usually takes vocab from one of the codes (more powerful)
        
        Not used as a primary lang
      - Creoles
        
        Lang that become the primary lang for a community of speakers
        
        Either gradually by being passed on to subsequent generations or more quickly through conlonial conquest/slave trade
        
        Develops an autonomy that pidgins don't have
        
        indexes particular social identities and distinct communities
        
        Can change when in contact with other lang, or "reconnect" with lexifier lang
      - Koineisation
        
        Process of different "dialects" merging to form a new "dialect"
        
        Dialect-levelling
        
        A process when distinctive features of different "dialects" gets "washed out"
- - - - Different people being gathered in a place
      - Increased connection between places made possible by digital tech
  - - - Attempts to capture fluid and dynamic way cultural and communicative resources move around the world and affect one another
    - - All interactions occur on multiple scales of time and space
    - - Layered and hierarchical
        
        Different sets of values or orders of indexicality determines how particular resources are treated on different scales
