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.
