#introduction

I'm a #Linguist with research on Taiwanese (臺灣本土語言) language vitality and revitalisation. My broader interests include language policy and language management within multilingual contexts.

I speak a few #languages (listed in my profile), and trying to relearn my personal #HeritageLanguage (s) which I lost as I grew up.

Would love to connect with others who are involved with similar interests.

When laypeople (also decision-makers) speak about "languages", "[I]t's often not about the languages at all – but about social attitudes, especially to immigration."
