Overview

How you language is who you are; language shapes your identity, relationships, and experiences. The Crip Linguistics Reader is a wide-ranging and groundbreaking collection that challenges normative ideas about what is considered ""good language."" This volume draws on the expertise of contributors across a variety of fields in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts; these writers bring an interdisciplinary and critical disability perspective to languaging by challenging dominant paradigms in linguistic inquiry. Essays include a wide range of topics, such as examining the relationship between disability and race in the context of language, investigating the compulsory nature of specific forms of language education, elucidating forms of linguistic care, and exploring the transmission of ableist ideologies about language. An essential read for scholars and educators, this collection showcases Crip Linguistics as an analytical framework that will transform ideological boundaries of language and communication along with our understanding of what languaging can be.
