This book examines speakers of Macedonian as a transposed, immigrant language in Australia. Speakers' reported use of Macedonian, English, and other languages is presented through domain-based sociolinguistic analysis. This is augmented by data on the ethnolinguistic vitality of Macedonian-speakers and by language attitude responses that record speakers' affective feelings towards different language varieties.

This description is based on data gained from 103 speakers across three generations and from two countries of origin: northern Greece and the Republic of Macedonia. The statistical data are complemented by excerpts taken from longer interviews and by vignettes that give an insight into the lives of Macedonian-speakers in Australia.

This book focuses on a group that records one of the highest levels of language maintenance amongst Australia's ethnolinguistic minorities and is a contribution to the fields of sociology of language, maintenance of minority languages and language attitudes.

Амкчп го повторува барањето за одговорно граѓанство во Македонија

Melbourne/Мелбурн 27/2/2017

Парламентарните избори кои се одржаа во Република Македонија во текот на декември минатата година за жал не успеаја да ја разрешат политичката криза која ја зафати земјата во последните 18 месеци. Имено, главните партии, ВМРО-ДПМНЕ и СДСМ, по изборите не успеаја да обезбедат мнозинство во Собранието и да формираат владејачка коалиција. Згора на тоа, таквиот неуспех е директно поврзан со интензивирањето и виртуелното претворање на она околу што беше концентрирана кризата на почетокот, односно наводната корупција, во исклучиво етнички прашања.

AMHRC Reiterates Call for Responsible Citizenship in Macedonia

Melbourne, 27/2/2017

The national elections held in the Republic of Macedonia last December, have so far failed to solve the political crisis which has gripped the country for the last 18 months. The major parties, VMRO-DPMNE & SDSM have failed to establish a governing coalition. Moreover, that failure is directly connected to an intensification and virtual conversion of what was a crisis centred around corruption to one about ethnic issues.
