Visual Images as Mnemonic Devices in the Context of Language Revitalisation: Some Notes with Sample illustrations

Öz

This article gives an example of how visual data can be used as an educational aid in the context of language revitalisation. Here the language for presenting the use of visual data in interactive learning is Noghay, a small Kipchak Turkic language spoken in the Northern Caucasus. Noghay is relatively close to Mishar Tatar, a variant of Tatar spoken in the Volga region and in the Tatar diaspora of the northern Baltic Sea region.

Today the use of Noghay is rapidly decreasing, as a growing number of children and young people prefer to speak Russian, which is the socially dominant language. The transmission of the language from one generation to another is also endangered by migration to cities and resulting bilingual situations, where children are not forced to actively speak Noghay. Elderly persons however still prefer Noghay to Russian, and children could be motivated by contact with the older generation to activate their knowledge of the family language.

The purpose of using visual data in reawakening a language is to trigger linguistic memories of the community’s heritage language in young bilingual children, which they do not use actively or in their everyday life. We assume that visual data, especially photos depicting realistic situations from their community life, are well suited to stimulate emotional attention and elicit memories of situations in which the heritage language is preferably used. Our approach combines materials gathered during field research and from language and cultural documentation with methods mainly drawn from pedagogy and linguistics.
