Linguistic Bias
Linguistic Bias Leads to Misconceptions about the People We Meet
“. . the way we talk is not a socially neutral activity—prejudicial attitudes towards different social groups are often reflected in our perceptions about the languages people use and the ways that they use them. As such, linguistic bias can take many different forms in different situations” (Forrest, 2022). Dr. Shin discusses what UNM’s Lobo Language Acquisition Lab is doing to feed the narrative and to help change linguistic bias.
