Migration Linguistics
Migration linguistics is the interdisciplinary and multidimensional study of the various aspects of language within the dynamic process of human mobility.Â
It is a systematic study of migration, focusing on how language affects and likewise is affected by the whole migration process.
It is concerned with how language is used, why language is necessary, what language represents, and through which language is acquired and learned before, during, and even after migration.
It is a way of understanding migration through the lens of language and linguistics.
