Description
Queering Language Revitalisation presents a comprehensive examination of how queer speakers of minority languages negotiate their identities within language revitalization efforts. The book challenges traditional approaches to language preservation by centering LGBTQ+ perspectives and experiences.
This Cambridge Elements volume brings together international scholars to explore the complex intersections of gender, sexuality, and linguistic community. Contributors investigate how queer speakers create inclusive spaces within minority language communities, develop new linguistic practices, and challenge heteronormative assumptions embedded in language revitalization discourse.
The collection addresses critical questions about whose voices are heard in language preservation movements, how inclusive practices can be implemented, and the unique contributions of queer speakers to language vitality. It offers both theoretical insights and practical case studies from diverse linguistic and cultural contexts, making it essential reading for scholars of linguistics, LGBTQ+ studies, and language policy.
