1st Roundtable: Decentering language: From languages to speakers
September 17, 2021
Friday, 5:00-7:00 PM Philippine Standard Time
via Zoom and FB Live
Studies of language are often expected to focus on the language itself - its system, structure, varieties, functions and the like. In this roundtable, speakers will discuss what happens when the starting point and fundamental goal of language studies is to center how language is politically and socially consequential for people. This means asking what languages mean to whom, what using languages does for whom and with what effects or consequences.
