ABSTRACT

This conclusion renews and broadens the call for linguistic equality in the sense of sufficient opportunities for linguistic immersion, knowledge, and understanding. It also returns to the notion of linguistic equality in the sense of linguistic discrimination and rights and the need for moral vigilance to empower and protect the more linguistically vulnerable. It does so by describing several other pressing linguistic harms that this book has not yet discussed in depth: gatekeeping, wealth disparity, screen time, contaminated language, uncooperative language, and inadequate legal and institutional protections.
