[Linganth] More resources about language and the pandemic

Anyone interested in language and COVID-19 should definitely look at the
extensive archive at the Australian-headquartered sociolinguistic research
platform *Language on the Move*, edited by Ingrid Piller:
https://www.languageonthemove.com/tag/covid-19/
And here is a short piece about Piller's recent keynote address at the
International Conference on Minority Languages in Spain, just published
today in my monthly newsletter International Justice in the News:
What is linguistic injustice and how can it be overcome, especially during
the COVID-19 pandemic? Applied sociolinguist Ingrid Piller
<https://t.e2ma.net/click/kuhjjd/0y379/s0nyum> (Macquarie University,
Sydney, Australia) laid out her answers to this question in a recent
keynote lecture delivered at the 18th International Conference on Minority
Languages in Bilbao, Spain. Piller discussed the language challenges
created in countries across the globe by the pandemic, noting that it has
exposed deep injustices in crisis communication in linguistically diverse
societies. Critical information may be inaccessible to minoritized people
because it is presented in a language in which they are not proficient,
because it is delivered via digital channels in low-technology contexts, or
because the written medium has been utilized in low-literacy communities.
Piller urges institutions at all levels to design holistic and inclusive
communication strategies that meet the needs of linguistically diverse
stakeholders. The COVID-19 pandemic constitutes a unique opportunity, she
contends, to establish such linguistically inclusive communication
policies. Piller’s entire keynote addressed may be viewed on YouTube
<https://t.e2ma.net/click/kuhjjd/0y379/8soyum>. A rich archive of writing
about COVID-related language challenges can be accessed at the sociolinguistic
research platform <https://t.e2ma.net/click/kuhjjd/0y379/olpyum>*Language
on the Move* <https://t.e2ma.net/click/kuhjjd/0y379/4dqyum>, edited by

This is great, Steve. Thank you!
(Sorry to be so late on the draw, here, but for anyone still compiling
language-and-COVID-19 pieces, I did a blog on Trump's language and covid
back in May 2020:)

Best to all!
