Language Awareness and Linguistic Diversity: From the Early Days into the AI Era
ALA Digital Talk on Language Awareness by Professor Claudia Finkbeiner, University of Kassel.
The Language Awareness (LA) movement now looks back on more than three decades of research, development, and professional dialogue. Its significance is reflected in the journal Language Awareness and in the work of the Association for Language Awareness, both of which have shaped the field since its early days. In this introductory digital talk, I will briefly revisit the origins of the LA movement, outline how the LA construct has evolved, and discuss its growing relevance in the AI era. A particular emphasis will be placed on linguistic diversity and linguistic identity.
