| description | This paper advocates a new perspective on languages. It begins by
demonstrating that, the occasional disavowals of sociolinguists notwithstanding,
the lens through which we in the 21
century, both specialists and laypeople,
view languages is predominantly biological. It then suggests that this biological
metaphor is conceptually unhelpful and potentially socially deleterious.
The bulk of the paper presents and explores the metaphor of social venues as
a more productive and empowering alternative: the presentation is through the
example of language choice in multilingual settings; the exploration touches
on a range of language contact and macro-sociolinguistic phenomena. |
