- W950547882 abstract "The setting of the study is the campus of the St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT), located in the city of Mwanza in Tanzania. The study is an ethnographic analysis about the different meanings the SAUT university students give to the languages they use in their lives. These meanings are related to Tanzania's historical and political context. The emphasis is on the meanings of the languages in relation to Tanzania's education system. The study can be placed in the tradition of linguistic anthropology and ethnography of communication, originally developed by Dell Hymes. The data is collected during a seven month university exchange in 2010-2011 and it consists of participant observation, nine student interviews and 33 questionnaires filled in by the students. The data is analysed thematically and Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of linguistic practice and linguistic habitus are used as tools. The study asks how these concepts enable understanding and describing the linguistic situation of the students. Furthermore, the meanings the students give to the languages are related to discussion about symbolic meanings and positions of languages in societies. The study illustrates how the different practical and symbolic meanings the society and especially the education system give to the different languages influence the meaning of languages for individuals. Despite the fact that the students seem to connect the languages to certain specific contexts of use, actually the students mix languages creatively in different domains. Therefore linguistic practice can be considered to be a good concept for describing their practical language use. The concept of linguistic habitus merges the social and individual and brings out the society's common perceptions concerning the different languages and their use. The study describes language usage and meanings of languages in a multilingual society. It casts light on the meaning of the language of instruction up to the university level and the ways the local languages are used in Tanzania.
