Abstract: Language
has been regarded as a rather peripheral topic in discussions or movements for
social justice. However, recently, there is heightened awareness about the
omnipresence of linguistic injustice in society. Where can we find structural
and behavioral discrimination on the basis of language? And what can we do
about it in our society, on our campus? The aim of this lecture is to pay due
attention to language as a key to respecting diversity and enhancing
integration.
