Abstract: The diversity of Tibetan societies, their languages and culture,
is often poorly understood outside those communities. This webinar presents
research from two recently published studies of language and linguistic
change in Tibetan parts of China examining but two of the sixty minority
Tibetan languages. Gerard Roche will speak about the local dynamics
threatening Manegacha, spoken by about 8,000 people who are otherwise
mostly indistinguishable from the Tibetan communities surrounding them.
Shannon Ward will talk about her research into how children in Amdo (mainly
coterminous with contemporary Qinghai) are reformatting their linguistic
associations of culture, place, and kinship as they build peer
relationships in their Chinese-speaking school environment.
