- W1917482525 abstract "My previous work has looked at discrete language groups in Africa, and this paper begins a new project that examines citizen connection through lingua francas. Using ArcGIS technology and data from Ethnologue and Afrobarometer, I am tracing the spread of 8 languages in four countries in West Africa: Wolof and French in Senegal, Akan and English in Ghana, Dioula and French in Cote dIvoire and Krio and English in Sierra Leone. Not only do we want to know what languages are spreading (data for which are very hard to come by!), but we want to know why they are doing so. I have narrowed the causal factors I want to investigate to three: war, urbanization, and schooling. I hypothesize that wars and urbanization are much more important determinants of language spread than is education. This is because, as will be argued, governments have little incentive to spread official languages. To test this claim, I am gathering baseline information for each language in 1960 and comparing it to the spread of these languages in 2012. The intervening factors can be disaggregated by region and district, revealing which causal factors are more consequential." @default.
