Languaging

Languaging, Volume 1 by Sender Dovchin offers a profound reconceptualization of communication as a dynamic, relational, and embodied practice. Within the field of linguistics, this work moves beyond static and standardized definitions to explore how language is lived and contested. The text examines communication across diverse landscapes, including urban mobility, classroom pedagogies, and digital platforms. By analyzing nomadic languaging and AI-mediated communication, Dovchin illustrates how linguistic practices are both creative acts of resistance and sites of precariousness tied to colonial histories and racial hierarchies.

This scholarly contribution to Language Arts and Disciplines investigates the complexities of First Languaging and racialized communication. The author concludes by introducing pedagogical languaging, which advocates for a reimagining of education through interactional design. Rather than focusing on standardized curricula, the book argues for learning environments that treat diverse linguistic, cultural, and digital repertoires as vital epistemic resources.
