Abstract:

This book explores the ways in which language is understood in diverse
contexts, and how linguistic theories – and the idea of language as an
object – fail to represent a reality that is inherently multi- and
trans-. The chapters tease out the way that an understanding of
language as a social practice, and the central role of the speaker(s)
and their repertoire, allows for a more nuanced interpretation of
language in contexts ranging from English as an international
‘neutral’ language in research and teaching, to the importance of life
trajectories and multilingualism in the development of theoretical
perspectives. The book offers a glimpse of a decolonial linguistics
that recognizes the importance of entanglement – between languages,
between the North and South and between the personal and the
theoretical.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
