Nominator's project description

Professor Narvaja de Arnoux is an internationally renowned authority in the interdisciplinary fields of politics of language, linguistic ideologies and metalinguistic discourses. She advanced the term "glottopolitics" for a particular articulation of language and politics and offered a lucid hermeneutic model for engaging the ideological dimension of textual production and reception in Latin America and Spain. In Germany, Professor Narvaja de Arnoux will focus her research on the ways in which linguistic knowledge was imparted throughout national secondary education systems in Latin America at the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. She also plans to organize the Second Latin American Congress of Glottopolitical Studies in Hanover.
