Domínguez, Mariana – Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education, 2020
This article is a personal reflection about the acknowledgement of my "taken-for-granted frames of reference" (Mezirow, 2003, p. 59), which were replicating the hegemonic narrative I grew up surrounded by as a white, Mexican, Spanish-speaker; while hindering a more thorough understanding of the educational and linguistic topics that…

A. Raymond Elliott – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2020
Linguistic tones play an important role in expressing lexical and grammatical meaning in tone languages. A small change in the pitch of a word can result in an entirely different meaning. A logical question for those who document tone languages is whether or not singers preserve linguistic tone when singing and if so, to what degree? I begin by…

Tasha Hauff; Nacole Walker; Elliot Bannister – Tribal College Journal of American Indian Higher Education, 2024
Indigenous language revitalization (ILR), or the act of reversing the language shift from English back to Native languages, is an essential task.

Generating accurate word-level transcripts of recorded speech for language documentation is difficult and time-consuming, even for skilled speakers of the target language.

Daniels, Belinda; Sterzuk, Andrea – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2022
This conceptual paper examines the relationship between two academic areas: applied linguistics and Indigenous language revitalization. While the two domains have shared interests, they tend to operate separately. This paper examines: 1) possible reasons for this separateness; 2) mutually beneficial reasons to be in closer conversation and 3)…

Moya-Santiagos, Paulina; Quiroga-Curín, Javiera – London Review of Education, 2022
Languages are not just sets of words. They are powerful tools essential to carry history, traditions, culture and wisdom. In Latin America, Mapudungun, the native language of Mapuche people -- the largest ethnic group in Chile -- can be threatened. A substantial linguistic shift has characterised the panorama of native languages of the current…

Meighan, Paul?J. – ELT Journal, 2023
There is a relationship between language and the environment. Languages shape worldviews, inform behaviours, and are not disconnected from local political, sociocultural, and ecological contexts. English has an enduring colonial, imperialist, and assimilationist legacy and can be easily delinked from context, culture, and place. In this article,…

Duncan, Philip T. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This dissertation explores aspects of Me'phaa morphosyntax, from verb roots to verb-initial word orders. I argue that patterns of agreement map directly onto the syntax of argument structure, which in turn feed the language's unique manifestation of ergativity. Me'phaa agreement morphology is richly complex, and I show that this is due, in part,…
