Sociolinguist Emi Otsuji

Emi Otsuji

Overview

Emi Otsuji is a sociolinguist and former Associate Professor.[1] at the University of Technology Sydney. Her research focuses on multilingual practices in urban contexts, with particular attention to how linguistic resources are used dynamically across social and cultural settings. Her work examines language as a situated social practice rather than as a fixed and bounded system[2] .

Otsuji has also served as President of the Japanese Studies Association of Australia (2023-2025) and as a representative delegate for the Asian and Oceania region in the International Association of Japanese Language Education for over a decade[3]

Biography

Otsuji completed her master’s degree in applied linguistics at Macquarie University, then obtained her PhD from the University of Technology Sydney. Her PhD thesis received the 2009 Michael Clyne prize for the best postgraduate research on immigrant bilingualism and language contact from the Australian Linguistics Society (ALS) and Applied Linguistics Association of Australia (ALAA).

She conducts research and teaching in sociolinguistics and multilingualism. Her work engages with interdisciplinary perspectives, including linguistic anthropology and urban studies.

Major Works and Contributions

Otsuji’s research explores multilingual practices in globalized urban environments, including workplaces and service encounters. She has examined how speakers draw on diverse linguistic and semiotic resources in interaction.

She is associated with the concept of metrolingualism, developed in collaboration with Alastair Pennycook. This framework analyzes language use in metropolitan settings and emphasizes fluidity and hybridity beyond traditional models such as bilingualism or code-switching.

Her publications address linguistic diversity, intercultural communication, and language use in late modern societies. She has contributed to discussions on the relationship between language, mobility, and globalization.

Reception and Impact

Otsuji’s work has been cited in research on multilingualism and urban sociolinguistics[4] . The concept of metrolingualism has been discussed in studies examining language practices in cities and superdiverse contexts. Her research contributes to ongoing debates on how language is conceptualized in sociolinguistics and applied linguistics.
