Languages and Social Cohesion: A transdisciplinary literature review (Dataset)

This dataset complements the book by Gabriela Meier (University of Exeter, UK) and Simone Smala (University of Queensland, Australia): Meier, G. & Smala, S. (2022). Languages and Social Cohesion: A Transdisciplinary Literature Review. Routledge. https://www.routledge.com/Languages-and-Social-Cohesion-A-Transdisciplinary-Literature-Review/Meier-Smala/p/book/9780367637200. Available from 26 July 2021. The dataset of 285 references to peer-reviewed articles published in academic journals between 1992 and 2017 (identified systematically following the PRISMA protocol as is explained in the Chapter 3 of the book) is offered here as an EndNote Library to increase transparency and utility of the work we present, analyse and discuss in the book. It is designed to support researchers and other stakeholders to quickly and easily find literature related to themes and sub-themes, as well as by research design. The project described in the book had the aim to answer the question: In what way are languages associated with social cohesion in academic articles? As can be seen in the concluding chapter of the book (Chapter 5), this transdisciplinary literature review resulted in a transdisciplinary language and social cohesion framework, which is accompanied by user-friendly tools that can be used to explore the language-and-social cohesion constellation in diverse real-life contexts. The EndNote Library available here presents the results of our systematic literature search and thematic analysis, which formed the basis of our analysis, discussion and interpretation of the data. In the EndNote Library, the articles are sorted by research design (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method research, theory articles, case studies, practice reports and literature reviews). Importantly, the EndNote Library is also sorted by the main themes (see below) and respective sub-themes, which correspond to the themes discussed in the book. Main themes in the book (headings used in the EndNote Library): A: Social networks and access to resources through languages (social networks and resources) B: Norms related to languages and groups (ideological orientations) C: Languages and a sense of group belonging (belonging to groups) D: Manifestation of linguistic behaviour and social cohesion (practices in education/society) E: Formal language planning and social cohesion (policy and curricula)

本数据集为英国埃克塞特大学Gabriela Meier与澳大利亚昆士兰大学Simone Smala合著的《语言与社会凝聚力：跨学科文献综述》（Languages and Social Cohesion: A Transdisciplinary Literature Review，Routledge出版社，2022年，ISBN：9780367637200，可于2021年7月26日获取）提供补充支持。本数据集包含285条1992年至2017年间发表于学术期刊的同行评议文献题录，其筛选严格遵循本书第三章所述的PRISMA流程（PRISMA protocol）。本次以EndNote文献库（EndNote Library）的形式公开该数据集，旨在提升本书所呈现、分析与讨论的研究工作的透明度与实用性。本数据集旨在帮助研究人员及其他利益相关方快速便捷地检索与特定主题、子主题及研究设计相关的文献。本书所述研究的核心问题为：学术文章中，语言与社会凝聚力存在何种关联？如本书结语章节（第五章）所述，本次跨学科文献综述构建了跨学科的语言与社会凝聚力分析框架，并配套了可用于在多样现实场景中探索语言与社会凝聚力关联模式的易用工具。本次公开的EndNote文献库收录了本次系统性文献检索与主题分析的结果，该结果构成了本书数据分析、讨论与阐释的基础。文献库中的文献按研究设计分类，包括定性研究、定量研究、混合方法研究、理论文章、案例研究、实践报告及综述类文献。值得注意的是，本EndNote文献库同时按本书所述的核心主题及对应子主题分类，具体核心主题（即EndNote文献库中使用的分类标题）如下：A: 语言赋能的社会网络与资源获取（社会网络与资源）B: 与语言及群体相关的规范（意识形态取向）C: 语言与群体归属感（群体归属）D: 语言行为与社会凝聚力的体现（教育/社会中的实践）E: 正式语言规划与社会凝聚力（政策与课程）
