The term harm is of vital importance because it refers to how specific groups of people are affected by ideologies and practices that normalize inequity and injustice in their environments. The contributions in this book explore how language ideologies, practices, and policies can physically, emotionally, socially, and/or economically disadvantage or harm minoritized individuals, as well as their cultures and languages UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110799521 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110799521 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110799521/original ER -
