A WORKSHOP WITH SEUNGHYUN SONG: Structural Linguistic Injustice When: Tue 18th June, 11:00–13:00 SAST Where: 11th Floor, UJ on Empire, Johannesburg or Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/91579163088 Structural Linguistic Injustice ABSTRACT In this paper, I develop a concept of structural linguistic injustice. By doing so, I problematize certain attitudes we have towards specific languages, which we take to be normal and yet reproduce institutionally decried practices, such as suppression and denigration of minority languages. The paper proceeds as follows. In section 1, I explain how employing a structural injustice approach may broaden the scope of linguistic injustice field by identifying seemingly harmless social structures that nonetheless result in serious linguistic injustice at a collective level. In section 2, I zoom in on language attitudes. Languages come with social values and people evaluate and react to these meanings, thereby holding certain language attitudes. I identify concrete type of language attitudes as forming a part of objectionable social structures, which, in turn, enable abrupt language shift. In section 3, I distinguish two different kinds of structural linguistic injustice: isolation and alienation.
