The Center for Applied Linguistics has added to its series of free downloadable documents connecting research to practice around key topics related to language and culture. The most recent addition is "Interrogating the 'Language Gap'" by M. Beatriz Arias. The document highlights the work of Professor Jonathan Rosa at Stanford University, who provides a sociolinguistic critique on the terminology used to define emergent bilinguals and introduces a raciolinguistic framework as a way to interrogate the language gap and other deficit perspectives.
