Elia Hernández Socas – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2025
This paper deals with problems stemming from linguistic variation in children's literature in a pluricentric language such as Spanish. Specifically, a paradigmatic case of the tensions will be studied, namely a collection of children's books about the Canary Islands, "Leyendas Canarias" (2012-2021). The sociolinguistic setting is the…

Valentina Migliarini; María Cioè-Peña – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2024

Sinfree Makoni; Unyierie Angela Idem; Stephanie Rudwick – Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, 2024
The decolonization of applied linguistics is a critique of applied linguistics (see Phillipson, 1999; Phipps, 2018 and Pennycook & Makoni, 2020). We argue for a shift toward the Global South, in particular Africa, and for the importance of paying attention to 'race' as a significant category of analysis in applied linguistics in Africa. Three…

Vogel, Sara – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
Critical computing approaches to K-12 computer science education aim to promote justice in computing and the wider world. Despite being intertwined with inequitable power dynamics in computing, issues of linguistic (in)justice have received less attention in critical computing. In this article, I draw on theoretical ideas from sociolinguistics and…

Milene Oliveira; Melisa Stevanovic – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2025
Speakers may resort to different inferences and expectations in intercultural encounters. These expectations are influenced by speakers' socialization processes in speech communities and networks, as well as by the local interactional demands and power dynamics in the communicative situation. While interactional sociolinguistic studies have…

Xiao Han – Journal of Education Policy, 2024
Foucauldian critical studies are cornucopian in illustrating how policy as discourse normalizes and yields human beings into made subjects in modern societies. However, Foucault's own slide from the 'terminal stage of discourse' pays little attention to the linguistic elements, and thus weakens the theory's potency in explaining the reality.…

David Barny – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Following the social turn in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) in the 1990s (Block, 2003), researchers have increasingly focused on the emic perspective of learners. As a result, identity, subjectivity, and agency have come to the forefront in SLA research. In an effort to afford learners the means to negotiate meaning more freely and to position…

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…
