To most people, language is just what one speaks, hears, reads or writes in everyday life, which we do in what are considered different languages (e.g. Swedish, Swahili, English...). In Linguistics, however, "language" is a highly contested notion. In this video, I present an overview of the conceptualization of language in structural (Ferdinand de Saussure) and generative linguistics (Chomsky), and discuss the shift towards languaging in critical scholars of language (from the early works of Bakhtin and Volosinov to the contemporary works Makoni and Pennycook, Ofelia García, and Canagarajah, amongst others).
