Abstract

The article "Translanguaging, language revitalisation and new speakers" published in the journal "Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism" discusses the evolution of the term translanguaging and its application in various academic fields beyond its original pedagogical context. The concept of translanguaging has gained popularity due to its resonance with researchers and practitioners, but its expansion into different fields raises questions about its semantic evolution and potential drawbacks. In the context of language revitalization, translanguaging challenges monolingual ideologies but may also pose challenges in Indigenous settings where the preservation of minority languages is crucial. The article suggests that while translanguaging offers new insights, it is more suited for studying language practices rather than language processing. [Extracted from the article]
