Synopsis

This is the second volume presenting the results of a research project on Continuity and Discontinuity in Communication granted by the Czech Science Foundation. While the first volume was oriented towards intra-disciplinary linguistic horizons of Sprachbund and related areal features, this second volume is more focused on communication as an inter-disciplinary problem. It is in this light that the autonomy and mutual complementation of oracy and literacy appears as a critical topic related to continuity and discontinuity in communication. The rapidly spreading new communication media bring with them broader, if not global, characteristics of usage, acceptance and consequences. Hence it is not only possible, but desirable, that our case studies on the interrelationship of oracy and literacy of the Vietnamese/Czech language interference in varieties used by the Vietnamese minority speakers and writers/readers in contemporary Czech Republic, are presented here alongside our case studies of selected African languages interfering with English and French in oracy and literacy of contemporary West Africa. - Continuity and Discontinuity of Contacts in Communication - General Remarks Petr Zima et alii - Studying Czech Vietnamese and Vietnamese Czech - The Context Jitka Slezáková & Petr Komers - Vietnamese Czech: Unity and Variation in Second Language Acquisition Jitka Slezáková- Czech Vietnamese: Twenty Years of Czech Context's Influence on Vietnamese of the 'Xu' Petr Komers - Continuity and Discontinuity of Oracy and Literacy in West Africa Petr Zima, Thomas Bearth - Orality, Literacy and Digital Competence - a Package Deal for Demarginalizing Remote African End Users Thomas Bearth - Orality and Literacy in the Kanuri Society Norbert Cyffer - Oracy in Literacy - Encounters of Two Communication Codes in the Written Litterature Petr Komers - Failing Literacy?
