Why is language ever changing? How do these shifts influence cultural dynamics and attitudes? And how have these phenomena manifested within the Armenian context? Join Dr. K and Lilit Ghazaryan, PhD Candidate in Linguistic Anthropology at UCLA, as they discuss everything from language purity, code mixing and switching in the diaspora, to language dynamics in classrooms in Armenia. By focusing on the language of children, the group most affected by current sociolinguistic changes, they follow the present-day trends and patterns of its most youthful speakers.
