The origin of semilingualism: Nils‐Erik Hansegård and the cult of the mother tongue
Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 506-525, November 2023., 2023 Abstract ‘Semilingualism’ is one of the most questionable theories produced in the language sciences.

Language ideology in an endogamous society: The case of Daghestan
Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 159-176, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Studies of multilingual systems found in Indigenous small‐scale communities often assume that exogamous marriages are the norm in such societies and contribute to their linguistic diversity. This paper is an account of the language ideology of endogamous societies in rural highland Daghestan (Northeast Caucasus).

Evolution and Spread of Politeness Systems in Indo‐European
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 1, Page 152-167, March 2023., 2023 Abstract In this paper, we investigate the phenomenon of pronominal politeness in the Indo‐European languages and demonstrate that the processes of change of pronominal systems related to politeness follow two evolutionary regimes, one inside the ‘Standard Average European’ (SAE) linguistic area and another outside of it.
