Description: Human language exhibits a huge diversity within and across communities. Speakers can use subtle or major variations in language to identify themselves and to suggest their affiliation to a certain social group or community. The way people interact and communicate reflects their identity. “Language carries with it the history, culture and traditions of a people. Language is the people. We cannot even conceive of a people without a language, or a language without a people. The two are one and the same”. (Sabine Ulibarrí, 1972:1, cited in Rovira 2008).
This seminar is going to explore how language intervenes in the identity building process. It will shed light on the link between language and a sense of belonging to certain community, how we use language to project our personal and community identities, and how we use it to recognize the identity of others.
Weekly Readings: Will be available on the New University in Exile Consortium's website linked here.
