This dissertation is a linguistic ethnography of language policy and multilingualism on Corsica, specifically with regard to influences of globalization. The first chapter compares French national and Corsican regional curricular policies concerning language study at the middle school level. It argues that distinct teleological orientations are observable in the policies in their approach to language study, and that they promote particular ideologies with regard to language, culture, and the global economy which coexist in tension with one another. The second chapter introduces the linguistic-ethnographic methodology employed in fieldwork undertaken in Northern Corsica in 2016, presenting examples of the varied data types engaged with. It also offers background information on focal research participants. The third chapter is a linguistic-ethnographic study of a group of newly arrived (im)migrant adolescent students in a French as a Second Language (FLE) class at an urban middle school in Northern Corsica. It presents key theoretical concepts in the study of sociolinguistic phenomena and globalization, particularly in the case of the Corsican periphery. Making use of an extended metaphor, pearls, the close reading of five excerpts of speech events from class reveals how discourses of linguistic, cultural, and personal experience collapse into minute, charged exchanges. The final chapter is a reading of language in public space engaging two main sources, a bilingual Corsican-French ABC book and photographs of the linguistic landscape of one street in Northern Corsica. The analysis demonstrates that competing representations of linguistic multiplicity coexist in Corsican public space. Overall, this dissertation argues that, in the case of minority/heritage language communities experiencing globalization in general and in the case of Corsica in particular, what multilingualism is and means cannot be taken for granted.
