Language practices among Lebanese Armenian adolescents – Dr. Chaghig Filian

March 24, 2019 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

SYNOPSIS: The session is about the impact of residential location on the language practices of Lebanese Armenian adolescents. It will explore the extent to which residential concentration within the established Armenian quarter of Bourj Hammoud has contributed to the vitality of the Western Armenian language in Lebanon and how the recent geographical dispersal of Lebanese Armenians into different areas of Lebanon, which traditionally have had less Armenian presence might lead to modifications in the perceived use and formal properties of the Western Armenian Language.

SPEAKER BACKGROUND: Dr. Chaghig Filian has recently obtained her PhD in Language, Discourse and Communication from King’s College London. She specializes in the Western Armenian language and her area of focus is the language practices of Lebanese Armenian adolescents.
