Sugar packets and language power

In the 2015-16 academic year I wrote a master thesis on my sugar packet collection, more specifically on how changes in language uses on sugar packets can be used to evidence changes in language power balance in the modern world.

I wrote only two posts about it on this weblog:

• Zocker, Şeker, Azúcar. Sugar packets as evidence of a changing power balance. 
• ENQUANTO HÁ CAFÉ, HÁ ESPERANÇA: The landscape of multilingual sugar packets 

Also see the finished thesis and the presentation about it. 

My talented classmate Corina interviewed me about my collection and the thesis for her blog. The result:

•  Sugar girl by Corina Moscovich

Voor de website van de Club van de Suikerzak (waar ik voor de scriptie intensief gebruik van heb gemaakt) schrijf ik nu een serie Nederlandstalige stukjes over de vondsten van het onderzoek.
