SUMMARY:The Power of Partnership: Revitalizing Limonese Creole (Costa Rica) Through Joint Action
DESCRIPTION:Despite being Costa Rica’s most widely spoken minority language\, Limonese Creole lacks constitutional recognition and continues to bear a legacy of social stigma. In response\, a collaboration between the Programa de Lingüística Centroamericana (PROLINCA) at Universidad Nacional and the speaker community has pursued a strategy of direct empowerment and revitalisation. This partnership has produced an official alphabet\, new legislation advancing language recognition\, and community-led immersion projects. This presentation reflects on lessons from this collaboration\, illustrating how such partnerships can restore visibility and dignity to a language and its speakers. \nProf. Dr. René Zúñiga Argüello is Professor\, researcher and Coordinator of the Centroamerican Linguistics Program (Programa de Lingüística Centroamericana) at the School of Literature and Language Sciences at the National University\, Costa Rica. \nModerated by Prof. Jaime Pérez González (Dept. of Linguistics\, UCSB). \nThis lecture is part of the Series of Indigenous Languages of Latin America (SILLA) organized by the Awakening Languages; Actions for Revitalization and Maintenance (ALARM) Lab\, with co-sponsorship from CLAIR.
