Special Issue Call – Linguistics Vanguard

Linguistic Justice and Partnerships for Sustainable Development:
Multilingual communities developing culture-appropriate tools to deal
with risks, threats, challenges, and opportunities

Multilingual communication is key in the interlinked agendas of the UN
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), of the UN Office for Disaster
Risk Reduction, of the UN International Office for Migration, and of
the World Health Organization, and many other entities.  Addressing
sustainable development opportunities relies on negotiating access to
knowledge of opportunities, funding, and priorities.
Most countries in the world are multilingual, but terminologies
discussing funding, awards, rewards, and business opportunities
connected with the SDGs are often in standardised international
languages. Technical terminologies, like the UN Disaster Risk
Reduction terminology is key to education on climate change, risk
reduction, and sustainable growth respectful of the environment, yet
its concepts are not made accessible in local languages,

Knowledge about local hazards should go beyond English-centric
terminologies and conceptualizations (Gaillard, 2019), but the
linguistic resources to support local experts to speak out are not
there: from dictionaries, to glossaries, via translation technologies
and resources, multilingual communication remains a domain of colonial
practices.

This Special Issue aims to include articles and contributions that
focus on the difficulty of creating the conditions for collaboration
and knowledge sharing in contexts in which colonial lingua franca
continue to dominate the institutional landscape and education is open
to the powerful few.

Articles will focus on multilingual and cross-cultural communication
in relation to human rights violations linked to lack of access to
information. Articles are expected to focus on multiple aspects at the
intersection between the education agenda focused on sustainable
economy, green and renewable resources, disaster risk reduction, and
health protection as they are affected by lack of access to specialist
and scientific information, as well as lack of dissemination of local
knowledge.

The special issue will be published in Linguistics Vanguard (De
Gruyter). Target length for submissions is 4000 words of text.
Inclusion of multimodal content designed to integrate interactive
content (including, but not limited to audio and video, images, maps,
software code, raw data, hyperlinks to external databases, and any
other media enhancing the traditional written word) is particularly
encouraged. The journal encourages additional abstracts in a second
language where appropriate.

Themes may include but are not limited to:
-       Creation of low-resource language technologies
-       Development of domain-specific and language-specific skills
(e.g. medical personnel who can interpret local or heritage languages)
-       Development of terminological works
-       Gender-specific issues of multilingual risk communication in
development or disaster settings
-       Interpreter as information-brokers
-       Language and translation as instruments for social justice
-       Lexicographic and domain-specific collaboration
-       Linguistic vulnerability of migrants
-       Machine translation literacy in marginalised and
non-standardised languages
