Exploring the nature of possible relationships between
Integrational Linguistics and Southern Epistemologies, this volume
examines various ways in which Integrational Linguistics can be
used to support the decolonizing interests of Southern
Epistemologies, particularly the lay-oriented nature of
Integrational Linguistics that Southern Epistemologies find
productive as a 'positive counter-discourse.' As both an
anti-elitist and antiestablishment way of thinking, these chapters
consider how Integrational Linguistics can be consistent with the
decolonial aspirations of Southern Epistemologies. They argue that
the relationship between Southern Epistemologies and Integrational
Linguistics is complicated by the fact that, while Integrational
Linguistics is critical of what it calls a segregationist view of
language, i.e., 'the language myth,' Southern Epistemologies in
language policy and planning and minority language movements find
the language myth helpful in order to facilitate social
transformation. And yet, both Integrational Linguistics and
Southern Epistemologies are critical of approaches to
multilingualism that are founded on notions of 'named' languages.
They are also both critical of linguistics as a decontextualized,
and institutionalized extension of ordinary metalinguistic
practices, which at times influence the prejudices, preconceptions
and ideologies of dominant western cultures. This book will prove
to be an essential resource for scholars and students not only
within the field of integrational linguistics, but also in other
language and communication fields, in particular the dialogic,
distributed, and ecological-enactive approaches, wherein
integrational linguistics has been subjected to scrutiny and
criticism.
