Abstract:

Challenging the boundaries of linguistics as a field, and
transgressing the limitations of genre in writing about language, this
book explores the possibilities of what the authors call a ‘hospitable
linguistics’. It offers a critical discussion of how linguistics
endeavors to domesticate, subdue and integrate both people and
languages into existing academic structures and theories, and how as a
discipline academic linguistics has barely begun to move beyond its
colonial, patriarchal and conservative foundations. In this book,
leading figures in their fields reflect on their own and others’
practices and experiences in three key areas: the agency and power of
refugees and migrants; Indigenous people’s (in)hospitable responses to
strangers; and hospitable language as expressed through art, music and
artefacts. As a whole, the book represents a crucial intervention in
attempts to fashion a new, more integrative, responsible and
respectful linguistics that makes way for the ideas of people who are
often the object of study.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
