Anne Holmen – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2025
For many years Denmark has had a reputation for being laissez-faire in language matters. There is no explicit language legislation, and the Danish Language Council has mainly descriptive functions.

Lisa Lim – AILA Review, 2024
In contemplating multilingualism and mobility in the 21st century, several dimensions warrant attention in the emerging field of migration linguistics.

Minorities' languages face transformation processes and struggle against many social and linguistic limitations. Education systems in these languages are not optimal to promote the teaching of ancestral knowledge and scientific research.

By demonstrating how this interview technique was found unsuitable in the first author's ethnographic study of multilingualism with…

Ana Tankosic; Eldin Milak; Carly Steele; Toni Dobinson – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2024
AI potential to recolonise language practices by reproducing existing marginalisations in novel ways has already instilled fears of a 'contemporary dystopia' (Miras et al., 2022) -- a space of cultural and linguistic erasure. Accents represent a distinctive aspect of language practice associated with one's sociocultural, and ethno-racial…

The L1 subject is a central meeting place for all students regardless of their linguistic backgrounds.
