The urban geolinguistics of Cape Town

Auteur :
VAN DER MERWE, I.J.

Description :
Cape Town is a suitable experimental ground to focus the methodological and conceptual shift from a national to an urban resolution level in language mapping. Although Cape Town is linguistically one of the least diverse cities in South Africa, three language groups are clearly apparent within the limited surface area of the urban space. Their respective distribution patterns are relatively segregated within specific neighbourhoods of the city.
