Abstract:

This wide-ranging volume offers a detailed exploration of coloniality in the
discipline of linguistics, with case studies drawn from Africa, Southeast
Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean. Colonial meanings and legacies have returned
to the forefront of many academic fields in recent years and linguistics, like
several other disciplines, has had an ambivalent relationship with its own
histories of practice in colonial and postcolonial worlds. The implications of
these histories are still felt today, as colonial paradigms of knowledge
production continue to shape both academic linguistic practices and
non-specialist discussion of language and culture. The chapters in this volume
adopt a range of different conceptual frameworks - including postcolonial
theory, southern theory, and decolonial thinking - to provide a nuanced
account of the coloniality of linguistics at the level of knowledge and
disciplinary practice; crucially, the contributors also expand their
investigations beyond this ambivalent inheritance to imagine a decolonial
linguistics. The volume will be of interest to all linguists looking to
critically assess their own practices and to engage with debates at the
cutting-edge of their discipline, particularly in the areas of
sociolinguistics, field linguistics, typology, and linguistic anthropology, as
well as to those outside the discipline engaging with questions of
coloniality.
