"Language, at its core, is a deeply social phenomenon, inextricably woven into the fabric of our communities, identities, and interactions. It is through language that we forge connections, negotiate meaning, express our affiliations, and navigate the complexities of our social worlds. Few scholars have illuminated this intricate relationship with the rigor, insight, and enduring impact of Gillian Sankoff. Her pioneering work has fundamentally shaped the field of sociolinguistics, particularly in understanding how linguistic variation and change are rooted in the dynamics of human social life, especially within the rich tapestry of multilingual speech communities.
