Abstract

This paper addresses the topic of social dimensions of ethno-linguistic boundaries in the Azerbaijani community in Georgia’s Kvemo Kartli region, including language policy, linguistic landscape and structural problems associated with quite low integration. Based on the material collected during the field visits to the Kvemo Kartli region in 2018–2023, I attempt to outline the issues which restrict this minority’s access to learning Georgian and the reasons for this state of affairs. Therefore, my research makes a contribution to the study of social and language issues in the Azerbaijani minority in Georgia.
