Type of Event:
Seminar
Date: 6th November 2008
Venue: Department of Interdisciplinary Studies on Translation, Languages and Culture, Forlì, University of Bologna
Event theme(s): Child language brokering (CLB) is a widespread practice that is generally performed by the children of immigrant and minority groups and that takes place in all those domains that pertain to these families’ social and daily life. Even though immigrants can resort to the services of professional interpreters and mediators, very often, because of the unavailability of such figures or simply because they prefer to do so, they choose to entrust their children with this task. Despite being a very common practice, CLB is very often an unseen and unacknowledged form of linguistic and cultural mediation. The present Study Day will aim to provide an overview of research in this field by comparing data and experiences gained by researchers on child language brokering activities in different countries. Furthermore, it will also present this phenomenon from the point of view of the representatives of various public institutions as well as former language brokers who acted as interpreters for their families in their young age.
