गिलाड ज़ुकर्मन: सोती हुई सुंदरियाँ जाग रही हैं--भाषा का पुनरुद्धार, भाषाई इंजीनियरिंग और सांस्कृतिक विविधता


Speaker: Ghil'ad Zuckermann (University of Adelaide, Australia)

Date: December 5, 2014 – Friday

Time: 13:30

Venue: R602, Bld5, Hongkou Campus

Language: English

Summary: This fascinating and multifaceted double lecture series will analyse the moral, aesthetic, epistemological, psychological and economic benefits of language diversity. With coca-colonization and homogenization there will be more and more groups added to the forlorn club of the lost-heritage peoples. Language revival, the most extreme case of language PLANNING and POLICY, will become increasingly relevant as people seek to recover their cultural autonomy, empower their spiritual and intellectual sovereignty, and improve their wellbeing and mental health. There is an urgent need to offer perspicacious comparative insights, for example from the HEBREW revival, which is so far the most successful known linguistic reclamation. The lecture will introduce REVIVALISTICS, a new trans-disciplinary field of enquiry, and explore current attempts to reclaim Australian ABORIGINAL anguages such as Barngarla. It will provide examples from many other languages such as Maori (New Zealand), Hawai'i (USA) and Sanskrit (India).
