| Inhoud: |
Coptic orthodox children growing up in London today form a part of a multi-lingual community. The article discusses how different languages are used in the transmission of religious tradition within this community. The usage and significance of liturgical languages, the parent-generation's mother tongue and the new first language of the children are presented. The discussion is focused on the children's own perceptions of the situation. The article points to the fact that even though language is often a medium for the continuation of a religious group, it may also be a principal factor in the process of change that a community undergoes in a diaspora situation. In this process children may not only have the role of receiving and continuing the use of traditional languages; they may also be instigators of change, contributing to new developments in their community. |
