    Language Ecology, Language Politics: Towards a Geolinguistic Imagination

    What will the world look like linguistically a hundred years from now? The use and distribution of languages across the planet is changing so quickly that even experts cannot answer this question. This lecture will discuss some of the processes of change that are under way, including language death, language migration, and the formation of lingua francas and interlanguages. It will ask what the idea of rights can and cannot do in this context and consider what an ecological approach to language might involve.

      Mary Louise Pratt (born ) is a Silver Professor and Professor of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Literatures at New York University. She received her B.A. in Modern Languages and Literatures from the University of Toronto in , her M.A. in Linguistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana in , and her PhD in Comparative Literature from Stanford University in [1]
