<div dir="ltr">Thank you everyone for a lively discussion of something that I personally think is really important for us as a field to think about. I write here mostly based on my own experience as a native Spanish speaker operating primarily in an English world (I did my schooling in Canada and now live and work here) but whose fieldwork is in Latin American countries.<div><br></div><div>Most of my scholar output (thesis, articles, book chapters, etc.) has been in English and I arguably feel more comfortable writing in English than in Spanish now because that's the language of most of the linguistics literature I've read and of terminology. However, I was in a French (medium) PhD program and I wrote class papers in French and read papers in French. I also published in Spanish during my PhD in a journal in the country where I was doing my research and have presented in Spanish at the local university to make my research known locally but also to build capacity in linguistics in the country. </div><div><br></div><div>I'll give you one concrete example of the issues caused by the hegemony of English here and then share some suggestions of how we could perhaps address some of the issues.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm working with a colleague in Latin America who doesn't read or speak English (older, educated at a different time, etc.). In trying to publish an article, my colleague has had to use Google Translate to engage with the relevant typological literature and to engage with one reviewer's comments which were in English. As you can imagine, Google Translate doesn't do the best job at conveying nuance and some things come out mangled (<i>gloss</i> came out as <i>brillo</i>!!). This has led to numerous hours spent on trying to understand the literature and in trying to engage with it as well as hours and hours trying to understand a review. You may ask, "why bother?" Well, my colleague's institution wants publications in "important" journals... </div><div><br></div><div>As I see it, we have a responsibility to try to address these issues and here are a few possible avenues:</div><div><ol><li><b>engage with the literature written in languages other than English</b> (not only European languages but whatever the languages of the area where we work are) <b>for reasons of scientific rigor</b>—why would you neglect most of the literature in an area because you don't speak the language it was written in? If you limit yourself to what is written in English, your research won't be able to engage with foundational ideas or literature (e.g. much of the initial literature for the part of the Amazon I work in was written in German by German explorers; I did a bit of German in university but not nearly enough to be able to read the originals so I've paid for translations of particular articles, I have asked friends for help translating small sections of articles, and I've used Google Translate to understand relevant passages in certain pieces).</li><li><b>promote work written in languages other than English</b><font size="1">——</font>If you're bilingual/multilingual and work in a specific area of the world and you are engaging the literature written by local linguists, I think we should take steps to cite and promote that work in our own work. This sometimes entails having to translate examples or quotes for use in our publications but this increases the citations and visibility of our colleagues.</li><li><b>create opportunities for everyone to be able to present/publish in their native language if they so wish</b>. The international Journal of American Linguistics publishes articles in English and Spanish; the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA) accepts papers in Spanish, English and Portuguese (and last January we had a fantastic talk in Ch'ol [Mayan] by Morelia Vázquez Martínez <font face="arial, sans-serif">and<span style="font-size:10pt"> Carol-Rose Little). These are examples of how to increase equity and accessibility for our Latin American colleagues. There are ways to make these things accessible to everyone (for presentations, use slides in one language and present in another or add subtitles).</span></font></li><li><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10pt"><b>avoid fetishizing standardized English in reviewing</b>—if one is reviewing something and notices issues of grammar/style that needs correcting, I personally prefer to suggest that the paper should be looked at by a copy-editor working for the journaal rather than suggesting that the authors have a native speaker of standardized English look it over. This last type of suggestion is still way too common—and sometimes it is even made for people with English as an L1. </span></font></li><li><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10pt"><b>allow for glosses in the language of wider communication for the region where you work alongside English</b>—yes, that means your glosses will have an extra line but you're increasing the accessibility of the examples to linguists working in that area as well as to bilingual speakers from that area who are not speakers of English.</span></font></li><li><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10pt"><b>provide summaries of articles in multiple languages</b>—most Latin American journals that publish linguistic (and other) work, require an abstract in English so English speakers can decide quickly whether they should try to read the article. Why not promote the use of multiple abstracts in English publications so our colleagues who don't speak English or are not as confident with it can decide whether it is worth engaging with the article?</span></font></li></ol><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.3333px">I'm sure there are many other ideas that we could pursue but I hope that we, as a field, can find concrete ways in promoting other languages in publication. If we're letting English push out other "majority" languages, what is the fate of minoritized languages? (this is a whole other issue but the two are not unrelated and I'm glad that there's been progress in recent times in this respect [as Peter pointed out, there's a number of theses in minority languages that have started to appear in recent years]).</span></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.3333px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.3333px">All the best,</span></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.3333px">Jorge</span></font></div>-------------<br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#0b5394" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Jorge Emilio Rosés Labrada</font></div><div><font color="#0b5394" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Assistant Professor, Indigenous Language Sustainability</font></div><div><br></div><div><font color="#0b5394" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">4-22 Assiniboia Hall</font></div><div><font color="#0b5394" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">Department of Linguistics, </font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:x-small;color:rgb(11,83,148)">University of Alberta</span><font color="#0b5394" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><br></font></div><div><font color="#0b5394" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Tel: (+1) 780-492-5698</font></div><div><div><font color="#0b5394" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Email: <a href="mailto:jrosesla@ualberta.ca" target="_blank">jrosesla@ualberta.ca</a> </font></div><div><font color="#0b5394" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#0b5394"><b>The University of Alberta acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 6 territory, </b></font></span><b style="color:rgb(11,83,148)">and respects the history, languages, and cultures of the First Nations, Métis, Inuit, </b></font><b style="color:rgb(11,83,148)"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">and all First Peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our institution.</font><br></b></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jun 26, 2020 at 8:01 AM Hiroto Uchihara <<a href="mailto:uchihara@buffalo.edu">uchihara@buffalo.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">Dear all,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div>In my case my native language (Japanese) and the medium language (Spanish) spoken in the region where the languages I study are different from English, and I've had a dilemma.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I feel the most comfortable writing in Japanese, but if I write something on Cherokee, Zapotec, Mixtec or Tlapanec in Japanese, some may get upset for the reasons that have been raised already, or because the community members would not be able to access these papers.

German article nowadays. But as a scientist, one is also obliged to<br>
explain the results of one's research to a broader public, which is why<br>
I publish regular blog posts in German. Furthermore, I profited a lot<br>
from introductory text books and many other German articles on<br>
linguistics which I read when reading English was still difficult for<br>
me. I think even if we don't use non-English languages for high-end<br>
studies in many scientific fields, one can acknowledge the importance of<br>
translating work into many languages, or having original work on science<br>
written by the scientists in their native tongues, in order to help<br>
specifically the younger generations in their education.<br>
