Les fronti猫res linguistiques ont longtemps 茅t茅 per莽ues comme des barri猫res infranchissables, cloisonnant les expressions culturelles.

This conference will focus on the various mythologies that have framed the English language, both historically and today. These are the ideological and institutional structures that enable speakers to conceptualize the language itself and to process specific uses of it. They enable historiographic narratives that shape how the language and its uses are understood; whether or not they are true in some absolute sense, they necessarily reflect and further specific cultural expectations.
