Sociolingvistik

This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to try to answer the question of how do we, as human beings, go from the socially neutral linguistic act of discriminating external stimuli to the socially loaded act of promoting social discrimination though language? This contributed volume brings together works presented at the international event "e;From Discriminating to Discrimination - The Influence of Language on Identity and Subjectivity"e;. This was an online event hosted and organized by the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU), Germany, in partnership with Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil, that brought together lecturers from different universities around the world. During the event, linguists, psychologists, language teachers, social workers and pedagogues got together to discuss how discriminating can be recognized as a natural and important ability of the human being in the early stages of life and, after that, how to avoid discriminatory acts against others. The debates held online took into account the important and necessary dialogue between linguistics and other social sciences to discuss the role played by language as a form of building subjectivity and teaching practices that can contribute to minimize discrimination and promote integration and acceptance in a broad sense, understanding the preponderant role of language in recognizing what is different (discriminating), without diminishing or excluding it (discrimination). From Discriminating to Discrimination: The Influence of Language on Identity and Subjectivity will help linguists, psychologists, educators, social workers and a broad range of social scientists working with cognitive, linguistic and educational studies understand the path taken by differentiation, from the beginning of the child's language development - when discrimination (of sounds, gestures, etc.) is essential for the acquisition of language to occur -, until the moment when differentiation, discrimination, ceases to be an essential factor and becomes a means of social segregation.

Global Englishes, Fourth Edition has been fully revised and updated and provides an introduction to the subject that is both accessible and comprehensive.

Lors de la « mise en mots » du Crémant de Bourgogne, comment les discours des consommateurs s¿articulent-ils avec ceux des experts ? Cette étude cherche à comprendre ces différentes constructions discursives, ainsi que les choix terminologiques qui y sont associés, en présence ou en l¿absence de stimulus. Une étude complémentaire vient enrichir ces travaux avec une analyse qui se concentre sur les espumantes brésiliens. En effet, ce produit est en grande partie comparable au Crémant de Bourgogne, bien qüinscrit dans une langue-culture où la consommation de vin n¿est pas ancrée culturellement, mais où la production et la commercialisation de vins effervescents sont en plein essor.

El presente volumen recoge un total de 16 textos que ofrecen nuevas perspectivas en el campo de Traducción y la Interpretación con aportaciones que giran en torno a la lengua española en contraste con otras lenguas como el inglés, el italiano, el chino, el checo o el polaco. Estas propuestas se enmarcan dentro de los estudios de traducción e interpretación jurídica, traducción comercial, traducción técnica, didáctica de la traducción e interpretación, traducción audiovisual o traducción institucional. Con esta obra pretendemos dar a conocer nuevas líneas de investigaciones que ponen el foco en combinaciones lingüísticas que no han sido ampliamente estudiadas en el ámbito hispánico desde una perspectiva traductológica.

El libro presenta un recorrido por diferentes campos de estudio como la historia de la lengua española, la sociolingüística, la lexicología y la lexicografía. Dentro de estas áreas se plantean aspectos importantes como el tipo de fuentes y de corpus utilizados para las investigaciones. Este libro está dirigido a investigadores que quieran conocer el estado de estudios en estas áreas en América Latina; a los profesores de lingüística que quieran acercar a sus estudiantes a estos campos del conocimiento a través de trabajos que recogen la realidad de diversos países con métodos que pueden ser aplicados en diferentes contextos; y a todos los interesados en la lengua española y su filología que quieran aproximarse a la situación de nuestra lengua en Latinoamérica.

This volume covers the field of linguistic (im)politeness in a particular mediated, customer-oriented setting. It is the first book to do so across telephone, email and social media. It offers key insights into a unique customer service setting through authentic and spontaneous data analysis. The book looks at how customers and agents of a large public transport company engage in transactional services and impolite behaviour. This text is directed at scholars and practitioners working in communication, business discourse, (socio)pragmatics, interaction studies, and social media interactions. It is also of great value to students in applied linguistics and scholars of Slavic languages, particularly Slovenian. The cross-media study is also of value to public/private institutions to reflect on their work practices, helping them improve existing customer¿service provider relationships. The diverse readership and appeal are essential features of this book.Examines mediated institutional talk and impoliteness in the Slovenian languageCovers mediated service interactions, such as requests and complaints across three different mediaProvides in-depth insights into communication within a contemporary business environment

This book explores the issues of education, the use of languages and the formation of self-identification of the Japanese and Korean diasporas of Sakhalin, over a hundred years period: from the time they moved to the island, until their "e;return"e; to historical homelands in Japan or South Korea. During this time, their language environment and language of education changed 4 times and Japanese and Korean of Sakhalin continued to be a linguistic and ethnic minority.This book is of interest to researchers, students, NGO supporters and education policy makers. 

The book sets out to examine the concept of 'chav', providing a review of its origins, its characterological figures, the process of enregisterment whereby it has come to be recognized in public discourse, and the traits associated with it in traditional media representations. The author then discusses the 'chav' label in light of recent re-appropriations in social network activity (particularly through the video-sharing app TikTok) and subsequent commentary in the public sphere. She traces the evolution of the term from its use during the first decade of the twenty-first century to make sense of class, status and cultural capital, to its resurgence and the ways in which it is still associated with appearance in gendered and classed ways. She then draws on recent developments in linguistic anthropology and embodied sociocultural linguistics to argue that social media users draw on communicative resources to perform identities that are both situated in specific contexts of discourse and dynamically changing, challenging the idea that geo-sociocultural varieties and mannerisms are the sole way of indexing membership of a community. This volume contends that equating 'chav' with 'underclass' in the most recent uses of the concept on social networks may not be the whole story, and the book will be of interest to sociocultural linguistics and identity researchers, as well as readers in anthropology, sociology, British studies, cultural studies, identity studies, digital humanities, and sociolinguistics.

Linguistic research has always, either explicitly or implicitly, dealt with the interaction of linguistic phenomena and extralinguistic reality. Whether we are talking about targeted analyses of the nature of their interaction or whether this interaction is implied and taken for granted, linguistics has always been interested in its dynamics and manifestations. Thanks to the abundance of communicative channels (primarily those enabled/afforded by the electronic media) that modern society employs to satisfy its communication needs, the interaction between linguistic phenomena and the extralinguistic reality is becoming richer and more diversified. This is the reason why the 2020 Croatian Applied Linguistics Conference was precisely dedicated to this topic.

Ny dansk fonetik er grundbog i dansk udtale og lydskrift. Bogen er baseret på en helt ny og tidssvarende analyse af dansk fonetik baseret på principperne i det internationale fonetiske alfabet, IPA. Den er målrettet sprogstuderende på videregående uddannelser der skal bruge en indføring i dansk udtale, og alle der søger viden om aktuel dansk udtale. Fokus er på det lydskrifttekniske, de distinktive lyde og deres almindeligste varianter. Fonetik er læren om den fysiske manifestation af det talte sprog, hvordan sproglyde frembringes af taleorganerne, sproglydenes akustiske egenskaber og hvordan sproglyde opfattes af vores ører. Fonetik er nært beslægtet med fonologi, som er læren om forhold som sprogs lydsystemer og udtaleregler, lydenes funktion og menneskers fortolkning og mentale repræsentation af lyde. På schwa.dk/ndf findes en omfattende portal med ekstramateriale til bogen, digitale værktøjer til lydskrift og online øvelser. Denne 2. forbedrede udgave er fagfællebedømt og suppleret med flere detaljer om transskription og lydskriftsystemer samt nye afsnit om fonologisk analyse og morfofonologiske processer.

This book presents an original empirical study on the linguistic repertoires of post-2008 Italian migrants living in London. The author interrogates how migrants' trajectories and their relation with their homeland's migration history are displayed through the engagement of new multilingual practices, such as translanguaging, and how new identities are negotiated during conversational acts. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of Sociolinguistics and Migration Studies.  

Most journal articles, edited volumes and monographs on youth language practices deal with one specific variety, one geographical setting, or with one specific continent. This volume bridges these different studies, and it approaches youth language from a much broader angle. A global framework and a diversity of methodologies enable a wider perspective that gives room to comparisons of youth¿s manipulations and linguistic agency, transnational communicative practices and language contact scenarios. The research presented addresses structural features of everyday talk and text, youth identity issues related to specific purposes and contexts, and sociocultural emphases on ideologies and belonging. Combining insights into sociolinguistic and structural features of youth language, the volume includes case studies from Asia (Indonesia), Australia and Oceania (Arnhem Land, New Ireland), South America (the Amazon, Chile, Argentina), Europe (Germany, Spain) and Africa (Uganda, Nigeria, DR Congo, Central African Republic, South Africa). It expands on existing publications and offers a more comparative and "global" approach, without a division of youth¿s strategies in terms of geographical space or language family. This collection, including a conceptual introduction, is of interest to scholars from several linguistic subfields working in different regional contexts as well as sociologists and anthropologists working in the field of adolescence and youth studies.

Sociolinguistics and the social sciences more generally tend to take an interest in norms as central to social life. The importance of norms is easily discernible in the sociolinguistic canon, for instance in Labov¿s definition of the speech community as ¿participation in a set of shared norms¿ and Hymes¿ concepts of ¿norms of interaction¿ and ¿norms of interpretation¿. Yet, while the notion of norms may play a central role in sociolinguistic theory, there is little explicit theoretical work around the notion of norms itself within the discipline. Instead, norms tend to be treated as conceptual primes ¿ convenient building blocks, ready-made for sociolinguistic theorizing ¿ rather than theoretical constructs in need of reflexive attention. The aim of this book is to assess and advance current understandings of norms as a theoretical construct and empirical object of research in the study of language in social life. The contributors approach the topic from a range of complementary disciplinary perspectives, including sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, EM/CA, socio-cognitive linguistics and pragmatics, to provide a multifaceted view of norms as a central concept in the study of language in social life.

Discourse and ideology are quintessential, albeit contested concepts in many functionally oriented branches of linguistics, such as linguistic anthropology, critical discourse studies, sociolinguistics, and sociology of language. With many ways of understanding and utilizing the concepts, the line between discourse and ideology can become blurry. This volume explores divergent ways in which the concept of ideology may be applied in different branches of sociolinguistics and the sociology of language, critical discourse studies, and applied linguistics. The goal is to provide an overview of the ways in which these two concepts can be used separately or together, emphasizing one or the other depending on the ways in which the concepts and their relationship are defined. The volume is targeted at scholars working in various fields of linguistics in which discourse and ideology are used as theoretical and analytical tools. While the target audience includes both senior and junior scholars, a particular goal is to reach junior scholars, who often struggle with the distinction between discourse and ideology and their theoretical and methodological potential. The volume is suitable for classroom use at the graduate level.

This volume presents a range of ELF pragmatics-related topics by leading scholars worldwide. These contributions present new work in ELF pragmatics that extend the current state of the field, and introduce work from other areas of pragmatics that translate readily to analysis of ELF interaction. A number of chapters are Asia-focused, examining pragmatic aspects of communication among ELF users in that so far under-explored region.
