Good morning, world!
(drum roll) I have decided that what the Internet needs is a new blog. Not that there aren’t enough blogs out there already, the online universe is awash in them. No, it is painfully obvious that what is needed is a blog about two things dear to my heart – Canada and sociolinguistics. Canada has fascinating language dynamics, as an officially bilingual nation, with an aboriginal language heritage that is rapidly disappearing, plus huge immigrant communities speaking many of the world’s languages. The interaction between language communites in Canada changes on an almost daily basis, and sociolinguistics has much to offer in understanding these changes. But who is drawing this to the attention of the online world?
I propose an occasional blog entry about current news events that combine the theme of Canada and sociolinguistics. I imagine there are others with this same interest, so comments are of course welcome!
