Philosophy of Language in the
Global South
Exploring the nature of possible relationships between Integrational Linguistics and
Southern Epistemologies, this volume examines various ways in which Integrational
Linguistics can be used to support the decolonizing interests of Southern
Epistemologies, particularly the lay-oriented nature of Integrational Linguistics
that Southern Epistemologies find productive as a “positive counter-discourse”.
As both an anti-elitist and antiestablishment way of thinking, these chapters
consider how Integrational Linguistics can be consistent with the decolonial
aspirations of Southern Epistemologies. They argue that the relationship between
Southern Epistemologies and Integrational Linguistics is complicated by the fact
that, while Integrational Linguistics is critical of what it calls a segregationist view of
language, i.e., “the language myth”, Southern Epistemologies in language policy and
planning and minority language movements find the language myth helpful in order
to facilitate social transformation. And yet, both Integrational Linguistics and
Southern Epistemologies are critical of approaches to multilingualism that are
founded on notions of “named” languages. They are also both critical of linguistics
as a decontextualized, and institutionalized, extension of ordinary metalinguistic
practices, which at times influence the prejudices, preconceptions, and ideologies of
dominant western cultures.
This book will prove to be an essential resource for scholars and students not only
within the field of integrational linguistics, but also in other language and
communication fields, in particular the dialogic, distributed, and ecological-
enactive approaches, wherein integrational linguistics has been subjected to
scrutiny and criticism.
