University Libraries Present: A Lecture in Honor of Hispanic Heritage Month:
"The Bilingual Identity and its Expression in Oral and Written Form"
Dr. Elena Davidiak
|
11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Special Collections Seminar Room, E-2340 (2nd floor of Melville Library);
People who consistently exist and function within two linguistic and cultural domains
express their complex linguistic and cultural identity through the way they communicate
in speech and in writing. Extensive borrowing, code switching and code mixing are
typical of bilingual and bicultural speakers, and are also present in their informal
writing, such as text messages and posts on social media. Even their more formal speech
and writing will be different from those of monolingual speakers of either language,
showing a consistent presence of borrowings and semantic shifts. Moreover, the speakers
will often be aware of these phenomena and comment on both their unique cultural experience
and their specific way of expression, which should be recognized and examined with
the attention they deserve.
Please register here. |
