Critical Polyglot Studies: Part 1 (ft. Usman Chohan)
‘Critical Polyglot Studies’ (Carlos Yebra López and Usman Chohan, Routledge, 2025) is the first-ever critical analysis of polyglossia as a globalized phenomenon. This groundbreaking book challenges the mainstream narrative, exposing the commodification of serial language learning and the rise of the Polyglot Industry.
By introducing Critical Polyglot Studies (CPS), it offers a fresh lens on the Polyglot Community, its ideological shifts, and its impact. Packed with programmatic insights, best practices, and case studies, this is a must-read for anyone passionate about linguistics, cultural studies, and critical theory.

    I totally get what you mean and I always thought about that, but the fact of not using any flag still has its bad part, in my view. Basically using flags is like using the emoji associated with that language, and it conveys the same meaning in a faster and more colourful way than just the word of the language. Besides, if there two languages which you don't know the alphabet of, it will be very hsrd for you to distinguish them... Hard problem. It'd be great if we had specific flags for representing languages, unrelated to the countries or regions 😊

    • @carlosyebralopez8646
      @carlosyebralopez8646 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, flags are faster to recognise and more colourful, but my point is that they do not convey the same meaning at all (neither denotation nor connotation). Otherwise, they would and should stand for languages But they don’t.

    Thank you for such an interesting video! I love omniglot - I used to go on it basically every day! 😅 On the question of communities that in general don't push for writing, i would say (as a learner who has heard opinions from speakers on this question) that sign languages' communities tend not to push for writing, and don't see it as hugely useful or needed (as so signwriting is mostly an accademic tool).

    @yaronmatras1641 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for this thoughtful reflection on the LinguaSnapp resource. It is indeed necessary to take a critical approach to the setup and issues of ownership and control of the data collected through crowd sourcing and so I very welcome this initiative and look forward to further discussions. I would just like to add a clarification on a couple of points: First, the app version released in 2021 enables users to keep a copy of the image on their phone. But even in the first version nothing prevented users from taking a twin image and keeping it, or from keeping a record of any descriptors that they may have added. So in effect, even the original copyright transfer pertained to use of the app to transmit data but not to the data itself. Next, there was never a 'committee of academics' vetting material. There was a very small number of individual editors, most of them junior research staff and student assistants, who checked the material for accuracy. To my knowledge, during the time I was involved with LinguaSnapp, from its launch until late 2021, there were only two cases (out of thousands of images) where material was sent via the app but was deemed inappropriate to release to the public. And finally, I should emphasise that LinguaSnapp did not work with any technology company and did not forward any data to any commercial company, as far as I am aware. [Yaron Matras]

    I'm wondering how much the chatbot's responses are affected by the input it receives (is it similar to how input affects people?) Responses may be affected by the way you're asking the questions? Perhaps, say, if you were to provide more context within the prompt? The chatbot will produce responses in correlation with the quality/robustness of the input it receives, methinks... 🤔 I'm not sure if any of that makes sense; I'm just thinking of chatbot as having that kind of dependence for some reason...
