[Air-l] AoIR in Latin-America

[Nils Zurawski]

I go along with your argument - But... but as 
long as English is the language to tell the story 
- the main narratives - English as the lingua 
franca of discourses on and about INternet 
research - as long as - English will be 
important... and powerful - the language is 
defining the if somebody gets heard or not... it 
also has to do with power of publication, power 
of participation and so forth... English speakers 
- a minority or not - hold an important tool in 
their hands... that might change - but so far has 
not...

this also might be worth considering -

>The content in English on the Net is shrinking (relatively speaking)
>and so are the users for whom English is their first language. I guess
>it is time for Internet researchers to wake up to this new reality.
>Please read the basic statistics. We're spinning off those who speak

>in the minority, big way. Let's not portray it otherwise.
