The term \u2018<em>bad speaker\u2019<\/em> refers to anyone who, at a given moment, speaks \u201cincorrectly\u201d or makes linguistic errors\u2014whether due to their dialectal variety, their pronunciation, interference from their first language, or even temporary conditions such as a cold or a hoarse voice (Hern\u00e1ndez-Fern\u00e1ndez, 2023). Historically, these <em>bad speakers<\/em> have been the ones <strong>shaping the languages of the world<\/strong>\u2014and they will continue to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The issue becomes particularly critical when language intersects with technology. Linguistic technology\u2014defined as the technical means and systems that aid communication\u2014is not ideologically neutral. Indeed, our perception of linguistic knowledge, whether our own or the machine\u2019s, shapes our relationship with it. While a seasoned native speaker may bristle when an automatic spell-checker alters a perfectly correct word, a language learner often accepts the change without comment, trusting that the machine knows best. It is our awareness of linguistic knowledge that positions us either above or below technology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Linguistic technologies (LTs)<\/strong> can therefore be defined as all technical means, artefacts, and systems that enable or assist communication in one or more languages. <em>Bad speakers<\/em> are crucial to the development of these technologies, including machine translation and AI-based systems. There are, however, both advantages and drawbacks in the interaction between LTs and the world\u2019s minority languages (Table 1).<\/p>\n<p>For LTs to have a robust foundational dataset, <strong>participation from all speakers is essential\u2014especially those who are considered \u2018bad speakers\u2019<\/strong>. Conversely, if machines are trained solely on data from \u201cnormative speakers\u201d (and which variety, precisely?), the <strong>resulting bias can be deeply problematic<\/strong>. This is particularly acute in areas such as speech therapy, where speakers have linguistic difficulties and where data on language disorders is scarce. The technological challenge is to enable AI-based systems to detect, understand, and model the adaptive capacity of human speakers. This is a complex undertaking that requires a thorough understanding of the statistical properties of languages.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31046\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31046\" style=\"width: 741px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31046\" src=\"https:\/\/educationalevidence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafic_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"741\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/educationalevidence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafic_1.jpg 741w, https:\/\/educationalevidence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafic_1-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/educationalevidence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafic_1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/educationalevidence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafic_1-333x330.jpg 333w, https:\/\/educationalevidence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/grafic_1-181x180.jpg 181w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31046\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Table 1: Pros and cons of linguistic technologies (LTs) for minority languages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, for instance, will <strong>machine translation<\/strong> serve to support or suppress minority language usage? Risking the label of a \u201ctechno-solutionist\u201d, one could argue that implementing <strong>high-quality automated voice and text translators<\/strong> might resolve longstanding issues in the audiovisual sector, as well as debates over language legislation and screen quotas. It is even conceivable that, in the near future, widespread use of individual devices could make real-time automatic translation available for any language, reproducing actors\u2019 voices\u2014a capability already emerging in some nascent local technologies.<\/p>\n<p>In short, significant investment and technological effort are required to give visibility to minority languages. While it is crucial to depoliticise languages, there is also a need for deliberate linguistic policy within the technological domain. Education remains the cornerstone for combating prejudice and promoting linguistic use, embracing both \u2018<em>bad speakers\u2019<\/em> and new technologies, within a delicate yet productive feedback loop.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6><strong>Reference:<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Hern\u00e1ndez-Fern\u00e1ndez, A.
