Overview
In this journal, I want you to consider your language use and knowledge based on the cultures, spaces, and contexts in which you communicate.
What languages do you know?
Expand your answer by considering the following:
• First, consider the languages you know by category: official (English, French, Japanese, and so on), dialect (Canadian English, Brazilian Portuguese), social (text speak, holiday/celebration language, life's milestones (weddings, funerals, retirement)), subculture (gaming, sports, fashion, music genre);
• second, which can you speak, verbally understand, read, and/or write;
• and third, where/when do you use them and would using one in the wrong place be inappropriate or disrespectful?
• How does language fit into our definitions of culture?
• Which of these languages are languages of a dominant culture? In what spaces or places are these languages dominant?
• How does each of these languages function differently in Private/Public Spheres and Homi Bhabha's first, second, and third spaces?
• Do these languages create In Groups & Out Groups?
• Do these languages meet in conflict or learning contact zones (or both)?
• Have any of these languages been appropriated?
• Can you make use of this cultural hybridity to help you in other spaces or places?
Instructions
Research and Preparation
While creating your initial list of languages, think about each one and where and when you learned it.
Some you will have no remembrance of learning and others you may have struggled to understand.
Also, consider what memories are associated with each of these languages?
