“Diglossi@” is a scientific collection from the MSH Bordeaux (Maison des Sciences de l'Homme de Bordeaux, UAR 2004 of the CNRS), based on multidisciplinary research findings and experiences developed on multilingual configurations integrating contacts asymmetrical between languages, some being used for more functions than others, characterized by their minority situation.
This collection is published by the Presses universitaire de Bordeaux (PUB) and distributed by the UN@ Éditions (Universités Nouvelle-Aquitaine). The fields which are the subject of monographic or comparative research in this framework come primarily from Europe in the broad sense and are open to spaces historically in contact with it. The originality of this collection is its diachronic dimension because it aims to accommodate works which refer to current or recent periods but also relating to ancient periods. In addition to descriptive work, it also encourages any approach focused on concepts or notions and themes applicable to the objects highlighted in its title.
The works included in the collection often relate to sociolinguistics but can also be part of disciplinary fields close to language sciences as well as others which generally fall within the human and social sciences, notably philology, epigraphy, history, archaeology, literature, law and political science. Multi- and interdisciplinary approaches are also encouraged.
“Diglossi@” follows on from the “Multilingualism and Minority Languages” collection of the MHSA (Maison des Sciences de l’Homme d’Aquitaine), opening it chronologically and disciplinaryly, and giving it an additional dimension through digital with open access.
Manuscripts can be submitted in French, English and Spanish.

The names of minority language variants. Case studies in France and Russia under the direction of Svetlana Moskvitcheva and Alain Viaut.
Online at: https://una-editions.fr/les-noms-des-variantes-de-langue-minoritaire/
This collective work brings together work carried out from 2019 to 2021 in connection with a research project from the CNRS Center for Franco-Russian Studies on the names of minority language variants. It is part of the theme of minority languages and concerns the naming of their varieties and their sociolinguistic identification.
It relied on field surveys in France and Russia as well as the necessary understanding of the historical and legal-political contexts of these glossonymization dynamics. This research, which relates to sociolinguistic typology and the concept of language in this discipline, is based on observations and analyzes first around Occitan and Tatar, with targeted comparisons in particular on Basque and the languages Finno-Ugric. Beyond different settings (culture, history), similarities appear on the basis of the cases selected. The naming of the geographical variant of a language may function as a local or regional synonym of the latter and not necessarily feed into competing representations of its encompassing name (for example, Aranese and Occitan, Mishar and Tatar). However, it can sometimes also sign or favor tendencies towards linguistic individuation (nagaybak, for example, in relation to Tatar).

The plurality of languages is a reality that exists in many societies, and which is expressed particularly strongly when different cultures come into contact. The ancient worlds contain all kinds of situations of bilingualism or multilingualism, caused in particular by the Greek movements throughout the Mediterranean – in Egypt, in Italy, in France, in Spain – then by the diffusion of Latin in all the provinces of the Roman Empire.
This volume brings together articles prepared following a research program at the MSH in Montpellier and a conference which took place in November 2015. From the Eastern Mediterranean to the West, languages and writings are discussed. Egyptian, Phoenician, Greek, Gallic, Iberian and Latin. The political and economic situations of the different regions studied – Egypt, Greece, Africa, Italy, Gaul, Spain – are very distinct, and the multiple examples presented make it possible to show how through the prisms of multilingualism and onomastics, we can perceive and define the mutual influences of communities in contact.
