Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- Chapter 1 An introduction to the weaponizing of language in the classroom and beyond -- Chapter 2 Language weaponization, missed opportunities, and transformational spaces in Bangladeshi English departments: A biographical perspective -- Chapter 3 Flipping the script: A collaborative autoethnography of agency and voices in the weaponization of bilingual education in Taiwan -- Chapter 4 The price we pay: An autobiographical dialogue of linguistic violence in the African diaspora -- Chapter 5 “That’s easy”: An analysis of speech acts in an instance of cross-cultural miscommunication -- Chapter 6 A critical look at ‘Pato’ y ‘Maricón’: Puerto Rican Gay teachers’ interventions with homophobic language -- Chapter 7 The weaponization of Setswana: Implications for marginalized languages in Botswana -- Chapter 8 Using your own language against you: Spanish in U.S. classrooms -- Chapter 9 Banned books in K-12 classrooms: Weaponization of children and young adolescent literature -- Chapter 10 French variations and language weaponization in US higher education -- Chapter 11 Dismantling weaponizing language in teacher preparation programs -- Afterword: Language weaponization and its harm -- Editors -- Contributors -- Index
Summary: In this edited volume, language weaponization — or the weaponization of language — is used to describe the process in which words, discourse, and language in any form can be used to inflict harm on others. 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.
