Elizabeth Keyton - Embracing the Differences!

Full Title: Embracing the Differences: Social Media for Curating and Celebrating Linguistic Varieties

A LIVE Talk as part of The Lingua-Cultura Experience Series at Polyglot Conference Global 2021

Language learning and the spread of certain manners of speaking were often dictated to the texts that were circulated in classrooms, and the limited international media that has covered certain regions. However, with social media, there is now an influx of information and samples of local varieties and dialects of languages. Rather than starting comment wars about what is true, pure, or accurate use of language, there is now an opportunity to embrace the differences by describing the unique variations and why they exist.
