Meeting Description:

In this session, we explore the notion of new and creative ways people are using, speaking and engaging with the Celtic languages in the twenty-first century. As with other language users, speakers of Welsh, Irish, Manx, Cornish, Breton and Gaelic can engage with a language or languages which are not their “mother tongue”, “native”, “first” or “family” languages. In the field of linguistics and its related strands, the “new speaker” category is one which has been examined under the perhaps more familiar, but now increasingly contested labels such as “non-native”, “second-language”, “L2” speaker, “learner” etc. Similar to related notions such as “emergent bilinguals” (García and Kleifgen 2010), “multilingual subjects” (Kramsch 2012), “metrolingualism” (Pennycook 2010), “translanguaging” (Creese and Blackledge 2010) and “translingual practice” (Canagarajah 2013), the term “new speaker” and “new speakerness” constitute an 
 explicit attempt to move away from these older labels in order to express an increasingly important stage in language attrition and revitalization. As Celtic languages, like other minority languages, are transformed from community into network languages, the changes which occur at linguistic and sociolinguistic levels are important to document in order to add to our understanding of the processes of language revitalization.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts should be sent to Dr Michael Hornsby (mhornsby at wa.amu.edu.pl) or Dr Stuart Dunmore or uploaded via easychair system by 31 March 2016.
