The Dynamics of Language and Inequality in Education
Author: Joel Austin Windle
language: en
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
Release Date: 2020-02-13
This book contributes new perspectives from the Global South on the ways in which linguistic and discursive boundaries shape inequalities in educational contexts, ranging from Amazonian missions to Mongolian universities. Through critical ethnographic and sociolinguistic analysis, the chapters explore how such boundaries contribute to the geopolitics of colonialism, capitalism and myriad, interwoven, forms of social life that structure both oppression and resistance. Boundaries are examined across time and space as relational constructs that mark the terms upon which admission to groups, institutions, territories, or practices are granted. The studies further present alternative educational approaches that demonstrate the potential for agency and transgression, highlighting moments of boundary crossing that disrupt existing linguistic ideologies, language policies and curriculum structures.

Language Inequality and Distortion in Intercultural Communication
Author: Yukio Tsuda
language: en
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
Release Date: 1986
This study sheds light on the problem of communicative inequality, neglected both by linguists and communication scholars, among speakers of different languages. It provides a four-step Critical Theory analysis of language-based inequality and distortion between speakers of a few dominant languages, especially English, and speakers of minority languages in the context of international and intercultural communication. Based on a theoretical framework of "Distorted Communication" developed by J. Habermas and C. Müller, the analysis focuses on a critical description, definition, and interpretation of "Distorted Intercultural Communication", and exposes the ideology that legitimates linguistic inequality and distortion in communication.
