Abstract

Well-articulated non-essentialist theories about human identity behaviors in language seem to have only limited effects on public discourse, scholarly and educational practices, and institutional language policies. This chapter aims to provide a text for use in higher education classrooms to engage students in reflexive discussions around the challenge of balancing etic and emic approaches to linguistic and cultural phenomena. Following ethnographic observations of ‘Dutch windows’, these reflections will be linked to the concept of essentialism as it is generally used and critiqued within the social sciences. Then we will turn to Edward Sapir’s two-part definition of language in order to synthesize practical implications for teaching and learning in interlingual, interdisciplinary, intercultural classrooms.
