Decentering Linguistics Language Documentation and Revitalization: An Interactional Approach

This lecture will discuss decentering as an approach to designing questions in two languages in which neither of the languages nor cultures involved is allowed to dominate. A Ping-Pong-like process of formulation and comparison between the two languages is used to develop versions in each language. The speaker will also explore research in exploring grammar and language use in social interaction across cultures. This research is based in two documentation projects, one working with Kotiria and Wa’ikhana communities in northwest Brazil and one working with speakers of Leukon, possibly a dialect of Sichule, spoken in two villages on Simeulue, Aceh, Indonesia.
