Language in migrant discourse

Language in migrant discourse
Language in migrant discourse
Discourse studies, in general, have captured how migrants position themselves, make sense of their migratory experiences, navigate social relations, and identify what matters to them in the diaspora. Language plays a crucial role in the migration experience, acting either as a tool to facilitate social participation in new networks or as a barrier that hinders interaction with other social groups. These discourses are context-dependent and continually shaped by evolving circumstances.

Abstract

Discourse studies, in general, have captured how migrants position themselves, make sense of their migratory experiences, navigate social relations, and identify what matters to them in the diaspora. Language plays a crucial role in the migration experience, acting either as a tool to facilitate social participation in new networks or as a barrier that hinders interaction with other social groups. These discourses are context-dependent and continually shaped by evolving circumstances.
