Keynote: Professor Emerita Ana Celia Zentella

Occupying Language:
Challenging Linguistic Discrimination with an Anthro-political Linguistics

What if we “occupied language” --on the model of those who demand that we occupy and liberate the centers of economic power-- by calling attention to ways in which language ideologies in the USA perpetuate discrimination and exacerbate inequality? In particular, we must challenge the punishing control of the ways of speaking of the masses.  Such control involves a remapping of race from biology onto language, which shifts racialization lodged in the body to racialization lodged in language and culture. Anthro-political linguistics encourages us to acknowledge our complicity, and to take concrete steps to intervene when the US Census Bureau, schools, courts, employers, the media and politicians reproduce linguistic prejudice by disparaging some languages and dialects in favor of others, and/or insisting on English only.  What can/should we do, or is the linguists’ role limited to observation and analysis?
