This book contributes to opening up disciplinary knowledge and
offering connections between different approaches to language in
contemporary linguistics. Rather than focusing on a particular
single methodology or theoretical assumption, the volume presents
part of the wealth of linguistic knowledge as an intertwined
project, which combines numerous practices, positionalities and
perspectives. The editors believe together with the contributors to
this volume that it is a crucial and timely task to emphasize the
relevance of linguistic knowledge on power, hospitality, social
class, marginalization, mobility, history, secrecy, the structures
of discourse, and the construction of meaning, as knowledge that
needs to be brought together - as it is brought together in
personal discussions, conversations and encounters. To work along
traces of linguistic connectivity, marginalized narratives, in and
on lesser studied (often stigmatized) language practices and to
shed light on the tasks of linguistics in making diverse knowledges
transparent-this offers spaces for critical discussion on the
ethics of linguistics, its challenges, contributions and tasks.
These are the approaches that are characteristic for the work of
Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald, to whom this book is dedicated.
