Abstract:

This volume aims to capture evidence of marginalized voices in various
contexts globally and show how speakers seek to reclaim their voices
and challenge power relations. The chapters reveal how speakers
actively confront inequities in society such as the unequal
distribution of resources. Through bottom-up initiatives and conscious
involvement in language use, documentation and the development of
language domains, speakers can address issues of language-based
marginalization, (re)establish linguistic human rights and reclaim
their linguistic and cultural identity. Chapters in the volume explore
commitments to democratic participation, to voice, to the
heterogeneity of linguistic resources and to the political value of
sociolinguistic understanding. Drawing upon the framework of
linguistic citizenship, they link questions of language to
sociopolitical discourses of justice, rights and equity, as well as to
issues of power and access within a political and democratic
framework.
