University Libraries Virtual Lunch and Learn - "Kenyan English and Language Proficiency"

September 30, 2025

Judith Awono, Ball State University linguistics graduate student, will share her research which addresses a significant gap in studies on multiword expressions by focusing on an African multilingual context, specifically Swahili-English contact in Kenya. The findings contribute to second language acquisition, intercultural pragmatics, and sociolinguistics by showing how culturally embedded expressions function as tools for communication, identity, and cultural transmission.
