"Embracing Linguistic Diversity" - A Public Lecture by Prof. Ai Taniguchi

Public lecture: Embracing Linguistic Diversity

Date/time: Nov 18, 2022 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM

Description: Language is intimately tied to your identity. Whether it be the phonology, the inventory of words, or the structure of sentences that you have, language is a communicator of who you are as a person. In this lecture, we will explore how there is no "right" way to be a language user. No variety of language is "broken": All varieties of language have systematic rules. Come find out how various languages work from a scientific perspective and experience how complex, dynamic, and intriguing the linguistic expression of self can be.
Facilitated by Dr. Ai Taniguchi, Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, in the Department of Language Studies at UTM.
