Co-Constructing Notions of Linguistic Prestige

Sat, April 9, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Liberty Salon K

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session explores how teachers and students co-construct the sociolinguistic climate in classrooms that shift perceptions of traditionally marginalized language practices. On one hand, this has been documented by bilingual scholars trying to shift perceptions of language mixing. Additional scholarship aims to recognize the merits of spaces for students to engage in vernacular forms of language, including Black Language. This panel will bring together scholarship in both areas to share ideas about shifting student and teacher perceptions of “non-standard” language practices, including codeswitching, styleshifting, Chicano English, and Black Language.
