I’m a pretty guarded person when it comes to trusting people, so letting them help me is a way of “letting them in” and showing trust. Suzanne Holder Retired I usually show trust by gifting someone something that has sentimental mean- ing to me. For example, a scarf from my deceased mother’s scarf collection. I wear her scarves all the time. When I give one of her scarves to someone I trust, they understand that I know they will take good care of it. And hopefully wear it in good health and high spirits. Gus Di Martino Waiter If I give someone my car keys, and let them borrow my car, that is the best way for me to show them that I trust them. I treat my car like a child. She even has a name.

  • 'Female' Vulgarity: an Example of the Use of Linguistic Markers in an Episode of NBC's Parks and Recreation
    Framing ‘female’ vulgarity: an example of the use of linguistic markers in an episode of NBC’s Parks and Recreation. Pierre Habasque Résumé Le terme « vulgaire » peut faire référence à ce qui est choquant, grossier ou fruste, et fait nécessairement appel à des critères subjectifs ; il est en cela idéologique. Cet article se propose d’étudier comment le vulgaire peut se manifester linguistiquement par l’utilisation de marqueurs syntaxiques, lexicaux, et de deux marqueurs prosodiques : la voix craquée (creaky voice) et le contour intonatif montant (High Rising Terminal). Le corpus est composé de scènes issues d’un épisode de la série télévisée Parks and Recreation (saison 6, épisode 4), diffusée aux États-Unis sur NBC. Les marqueurs linguistiques sont utilisés à des fins humoristiques afin de créer l’image d’un personnage féminin frivole et écervelé grâce à un processus d’accommodation feinte. Il est suggéré que ceci n’est possible que parce que plusieurs de ces marqueurs sont à la fois susceptibles d’être stigmatisés, et qu’ils peuvent être perçus comme typiquement féminins. Mots-clés vulgarité, High Rising Terminal, voix craquée, enregisterment, accommodation Abstract “Vulgarity” is a term that may refer to what is offensive, coarse or unrefined, and therefore necessarily appeals to subjective criteria; vulgarity is in this sense intrinsically ideological. This article explores how vulgarity may be expressed linguistically. Analysis centers on the use of syntactic and lexical markers, as well as two prosodic markers: creaky voice and the High Rising Terminal contour (HRT). The corpus is composed of scenes from an episode of NBC’s television series Parks and Recreation (season 6, episode 4).

    Volume 4, Issue 2 Article 3 2018 Keeping up with Hollywood’s Valley Girls: A Lifespan Study Exploring the Kardashian Sisters’ Use of Traditional and Non-Traditional Likes Iris Bakker [email protected] ISSN: 2057-1720 doi: 10.2218/ls.v4i2.2018.2914 This paper is available at: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/lifespansstyles Hosted by The University of Edinburgh Journal Hosting Service: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ Keeping up with Hollywood’s Valley Girls: A Lifespan Study Exploring the Kardashian Sisters’ Use of Traditional and Non-Traditional Likes Iris Bakker This paper looks at traditional and non-traditional (stigmatised) variations of like through a 10-year longitudinal panel study using the readily available speech of reality stars Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian. With this unique dataset, this paper compares their use of traditional and non-traditional likes and looks at possible patterns to further understand age-based correlations of these features. An analysis of the data shows a relatively stable trend in their use of non-traditional likes, supporting theories that suggest the feature is not subject to the lifespan change associated with age-grading. Speech accommodation theory is proposed as an explanation for the patterns found. 1 Introduction The incredibly versatile like fulfils many different grammatical functions and has various different meanings. Standard, traditional uses of like are as a verb, noun, adverb, conjunction, or suffix (D’Arcy 2007). More non- standard, non-traditional forms are the quotative like, introducing direct speech, and the discourse marker and particle like, supposedly randomly inserted into sentences (D’Arcy 2007). The history of these non-traditional likes is not exactly known, although it is often suggested that they are recent additions to the English language and were introduced and popularised in California, with the so-called “Valley Girls” (D’Arcy 2007).

  • Girls Made Of? the Discourse of Girl Power in Contemporary U.S
    WHAT ARE LITTLE (EMPOWERED) GIRLS MADE OF? THE DISCOURSE OF GIRL POWER IN CONTEMPORARY U.S. POPULAR CULTURE Rosalind Sibielski A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Lesa Lockford, Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Kimberly Coates © 2010 Rosalind Sibielski All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Beginning in the late 1990s, U.S. popular culture has been inundated with messages promoting “girl power.” This dissertation examines representations of girl power in the mass media, as well as popular literature and advertising images, in order to interrogate the ways in which the discourse of girl power has shaped cultural understandings of girlhood in the past twenty years. It also examines the ways in which that discourse has functioned as both an extension of and a response to social concerns about the safety, health and emotional well-being of girls in the United States at the turn of the millennium. Girl power popular culture texts are often discussed by commentators, fans and their creators as attempts to use media narratives and images to empower girls, either by providing them with models for how to enact empowered femininity or by providing them with positive representations that make them feel good about themselves as girls. However, this project is arguably limited by the focus in girl power texts on girls’ individual (as opposed to their structural) empowerment, as well as the failure of these texts to conceive of the exercise of power outside of patriarchal models.

    2014 WRITING BOOK (VOL 12) - spring 2015_WRITING BOOK 2004 3/13/15 2:48 PM Page 36 Feminist Research as Journey (or, Like, Whatever?) Esra Padgett Hunter College The question of who does language change has existed in the field of linguistics for decades. When does linguistic change occur? Who chooses when a new word becomes relevant and how does this happen? This essay investigates these questions through a feminist lens, adapting tools from both feminist linguistic study as well as feminist rhetorical theory and historiography. Rather than pinning down an answer, the essay attempts to follow the trajectory of the research itself, observing how perspectives can shift drastically depending on one’s method of inquiry. By using both primary archival material as well as contemporary case studies, the essay also investigates how a collaboration between current feminist approaches can bring a more holistic view to past, present, and future research. From the valley girls of the 1980s and Clueless, to the Miley Cyrus twerking fiasco, American pop culture is no stranger to the speech of adolescent women. A look at last year’s additions to the Oxford Dictionaries Online (ODO ) makes this even clearer: twerk, squee, vom, selfie, srsly, emoji, me time, fauxhawk, and pixie cut are a few examples among many which clearly stem from the world of young girls (“Oxford”). The primary place this genre of speech has taken in pop culture is common knowledge and is certainly not new in my lifetime. But has this fascination, this influ - ence, always existed? The words that have come into English recently this way seem so intrinsi - cally modern it is hard to imagine an eighteenth- or even nineteenth- century equivalent.
