In this edited volume, language weaponization — or the
weaponization of language — is used to describe the process in
which words, discourse, and language in any form can be used to
inflict harm on others. The term harm is of vital importance
because it refers to how specific groups of people are affected by
ideologies and practices that normalize inequity and injustice in
their environments. The contributions in this book explore how
language ideologies, practices, and policies can physically,
emotionally, socially, and/or economically disadvantage or harm
minoritized individuals, as well as their cultures and languages.
