Linguistics In Times of Crisis
Closing Session - Abralin ao Vivo - Linguists Online
In the midst of a global pandemic and a crisis in science in general, an in the field of the Humanities in particular, Linguistics – as an area of research – faces several challenges for its very existence. The pandemic has caused profound changes to society and prompted scientists to rethink many of our academic practices. With this in mind, the Brazilian Linguistics Association, Abralin, in cooperation with CIPL – the Comité International Permanent des Linguistes, ALFAL – the Asociación de Lingüística y Filología de América Latina, SAEL – the Sociedad Argentina de Estudios Lingüísticos, AILA – the Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée, the LSA – the Linguistic Society of America, the LAGB – the Linguistics Association of Great Britain, SLE – the Societas Linguistica Europaea, ALS – the Australian Linguistic Society, BAAL – the British Association for Applied Linguistics and SEL – the Sociedad Española de Lingüística organized a 3-month virtual event: Abralin ao Vivo – Linguists Online. The event was designed to give students and researchers free access to state-of-the-art daily discussions on the most diverse topics related to the study of human language. It gathered together linguists from all over the world and provided collective insights that outline ways to build an agenda for linguistic research on a global level.
Now we need to take the next step: what is the role of linguistics in this new configuration of a post-Pandemic world? What effective contributions can Linguistics make to the new global reality? What networks of research collaboration can be formed? What brings us together and what distances us?
At a particularly sensitive time, Linguistics makes it possible to reflect on an inherently human property: language.
