Epistemological/Ontological Interview
Premises, Pitfalls, and Possibilities of Undoing Competence
We want to thank all of the commentators for their thoughtful engagement with our ideas and their efforts to move them in new directions that we had not considered. We are encouraged by growing interest in critical examinations of the origins of applied linguistics as a point of entry for reconsidering some of its key frameworks. This commitment to interrogating intellectual origins is central to Heller and McElhinny's (2017) expansive analysis o…
Undoing Competence
Conceptualizations of competence that permeate applied linguistics systematically fail to account for the role of racialization in language learning and assessments thereof. To interrogate the racialization of linguistic competence, we first examine its discursive emergence in conjunction with the ideological construction of linguistic homogeneity as central to the naturalization of race within the context of European colonialism. We then track h…
Decolonization, Language, and Race in Applied Linguistics and Social Justice
While applied linguistics research can serve as an important site for understanding and contributing to efforts toward challenging historical and contemporary power structures, it is also crucial to interrogate how numerous normative concepts and logics within the field of applied linguistics both reflect and reenact dominant power structures. Centering colonialism and racism in our analysis, this commentary considers how applied linguistics ofte…
Bringing Race Into Second Language Acquisition
RECENTLY, SEVERAL NEWS ARTICLES WERE published celebrating the bilingualism of Princess Charlotte, the young daughter of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. A headline from Independent noted, "Princess Charlotte is already bilingual at age two," with the author insisting that this was "a skill most people cannot claim" and that she "can't help but feel inferior" (Ritschel, 2018). In a similar vein, a headline from Harper's Bazaar reported "Pr…
Standardization, Racialization, Languagelessness
This article examines the racialized relationship between ideologies of language standardization and what I term "languagelessness." Whereas ideologies of language standardization stigmatize particular linguistic practices understood to deviate from prescriptive norms, ideologies of languagelessness call into question linguistic competence-and, by extension, legitimate personhood-altogether. Throughout the article I show how these ideologies inte…

Diaspora and language
This chapter illustrates how poststructuralist approaches to the analysis of language, diaspora, and migration can critically reframe understandings of linguistic practices and social identities. It identifies some of the ways that poststructural approaches to the analysis of language and diaspora can contribute powerfully to broader efforts toward denaturalizing stereotypes that equate linguistic patterns, social categories, and geographical con…
