Linguistics, Chinese Communities, and Transnational Landscapes - Interdisciplinary Research Workshop 2
This session challenges monolithic stereotypes of "the Chinese" by exploring the dynamic and diverse Chinese communities and migration patterns. From examining case studies on family language ideologies of transnationals in Singapore, to formation of ‘familylects’, we will discuss the complexities of heritage language maintenance at home and community schooling; and their relation with global forces. The session invites a debate on the diversity and fluidity of identity among Chinese communities across generations and geography, and how sociocultural shifts impact the preservation of intangible heritage in a mobile world.
