In 1805, a group of 228 people from Switzerland, mostly from the canton of Zurich, travelled to the Russian empire to create an agricultural colony of Z\u00fcrichtal in Crimea. In 1822, 17 families left the canton of Vaud and created a winegrowers\u2019 colony of Shabo \/ Chabag not far from Odessa. The Russian empire provided the Swiss settlers on the Black sea with free agricultural lands, equally distributed among the families, and subsidies for 10 years; it dispensed the settlers from paying taxes for the same period of time, as well as from the military service. By the turn of the century, both colonies were among the most prosperous of their respective regions, giving birth to a series of daughter-colonies. Their existence as Swiss colonies came to an end during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

How did the story of these colonies go? Which languages did the colonists use inside the colonies, with their neighbours and in their interactions with official authorities, in changing socio-political settings? Did they manage to maintain their respective heritage languages? And how did the early linguistic description of these colonies by Soviet scholars, starting from the 1920s, shape the theoretical and methodological development of emerging (socio)linguistics?<\/p>\n

These issues were explored by a Universit\u00e9 de Lausanne (UNIL) team from the SLAS (Section de langues et civilisations slaves et de l’Asie du Sud<\/a>) department within the framework of their research project, entitled History of Swiss colonies in Crimea and Northern Black Sea coast: Linguistic and Identity\u2019s approach<\/em> (https:\/\/www.unil.ch\/slas\/home\/menuinst\/recherche\/langues-slaves\/projet-de-recherche\/projets-en-cours.html<\/a>, 2016-2019). The bilateral project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (https:\/\/p3.snf.ch\/project-164069<\/a>), was carried out jointly with the University of Saint Petersburg, bringing together philologists and historians who worked at the imperial archives of Saint Petersburg, as well as sociolinguists and specialists on the epistemology of linguistics from UNIL. The UNIL researchers explored the archives in Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France and carried out fieldwork in both former colonies. Using the method of historical epistemology of linguistics, they studied in particular the research direction on the dialects spoken by Swiss settlers, which emerged in the Soviet linguistics in the late 1920s.<\/p>\n
