CFP: Linguistic Research with Diaspora Communities

,

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that as many as 56 million people around the world are displaced by war, disaster, environmental degradation, poverty, and other causes. Millions of speakers of endangered languages are among these displaced people, and linguists around the world increasingly find themselves working with speakers living outside their region of origin. Yet, many best practices in linguistic research start with assumptions about language communities that are inapplicable to language spoken in diaspora contexts. The purpose of the meeting is to integrate multidisciplinary perspectives into linguistic research with diaspora communities and to discuss diaspora linguistics in its own right.
