The Intersection of Sex and Social Class in the Course of Linguistic Change
Language Variation and Change, 2 (1990), 205-254. Printed in the U.S.A. © 1991 Cambridge University Press 0954-3945/91 $5.00 + .00 The intersection of sex and social class in the course of linguistic change WILLIAM LABOV University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT Two general principles of sexual differentiation emerge from previous socio- linguistic studies: that men use a higher frequency of nonstandard forms than women in stable situations, and that women are generally the innovators in lin- guistic change. It is not clear whether these two tendencies can be unified, or how differences between the sexes can account for the observed patterns of lin- guistic change. The extensive interaction between sex and other social factors raises the issue as to whether the curvilinear social class pattern associated with linguistic change is the product of a rejection of female-dominated changes by lower-class males. Multivariate analysis of data from the Philadelphia Project on Linguistic Change and Variation indicates that sexual differentiation is in- dependent of social class at the beginning of a change, but that interaction de- velops gradually as social awareness of the change increases. It is proposed that sexual differentiation of language is generated by two distinct processes: (1) for all social classes, the asymmetric context of language learning leads to an ini- tial acceleration of female-dominated changes and retardation of male-domi- nated changes; (2) women lead men in the rejection of linguistic changes as they are recognized by the speech community, a differentiation that is maximal for the second highest status group. SOME BASIC FINDINGS AND SOME BASIC PROBLEMS Among the clearest and most consistent results of sociolinguistic research in the speech community are the findings concerning the linguistic differenti- ation of men and women. -
A Literature Review on Code-Switching
1 Code-switching as a Result of Language Acquisition: A Case Study of a 1.5 Generation Child from China1 Yalun Zhou, Ph.D.2 Michael Wei, Ph.D.3 Abstract Despite individual differences, all bilinguals share the ability to act in their native language, in their second language, and to switch back and forth between the two languages they know (Van Hell, 1998). Chinese is the largest Asian American ethnic group in the United States. Their use of code-switching is an increasingly important issue in understanding their language choice and language development. This study on code-switching between a 1.5 generation Chinese child and her parents will add perspectives on the growing literature of Chinese American families, their language interaction and language development. Introduction There are several definitions for code-switching. Gumperz (1982 b) defined code-switching as “the juxtaposition within the same speech exchange of passages of speech belonging to two different grammatical systems or subsystems” (p. 59). The emphasis is on the two grammatical systems of one language, although most people refer to code-switching as the mixed use of 1 This paper was presented at the 2007 Annual Conference of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), Seattle, Washington. 2 Yalun Zhou, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Director of Chinese Minor Program, Dept. of Communication and Media, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, [email protected] 3 Michael Wei, Ph.D., Associate Professor, TESOL Program Director, School of Education, University of Missouri-Kansas City, [email protected] 2 languages. Milroy and Muysken (1995) stated that code-switching is “the alternative use by bilinguals of two or more languages in the same conversation” (p.7). -
What Is Style, and Why Does It Matter?
1 What Is Style, and Why Does It Matter? Mention the word “style,” and most writing teachers begin singing the praises of Strunk and White’s well-known handbook, Elements of Style. Regarded as the most authoritative treatment of style in English, the manual presents numerous rules for usage and grammar as well as exhortations to avoid “all devices that are popularly believed to indi- cate style—all mannerisms, tricks, adornments” and focus instead on “plainness, simplicity, orderliness, [and] sincerity” (55). The manual goes on to elaborate on this plainness of style as the preferred absence of “fancy” or foreign words, figurative language, and any non-standard usage or phrases. In short, writers should always take as few risks as possible and write only in the safest, most objective kind of Standard English. They should blend in. Above all, writers should strive for defi- nite, specific, concrete language. This view of style has its place in certain communicative situations; however, it excludes a range of other possibilities while also maintain- ing a binary between plain and adorned styles. Today, many writing teachers have difficulty thinking outside of the Strunk and White box. They see style only as conformity to standards, as the domain of manuals and handbooks, and they avoid discussing style as a means of expression, experimentation, and risk. In the recent edited collection, The Centrality of Style, Nora Bacon (author of the textbook The Well- Crafted Sentence) addresses this dilemma head on, stating that writ- ing and rhetoric teachers largely believe that “You can teach academic writing or you can teach style, but you can’t teach both” (176). -
Stylistics As an Approach to Discourse Analysis: a Thematic Textual Analysis
British Journal of English Linguistics Vol.6, No.2, pp.58-71, March 2018 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) STYLISTICS AS AN APPROACH TO DISCOURSE ANALYSIS: A THEMATIC TEXTUAL ANALYSIS Dr. Damasus Tuurosong Department of African and General Studies, University for Development Studies, Ghana. Dr. Rashid Hassan Pelpuo Institute of African Stuides, University of Ghana, Legon. Justine Bakuuro Department of English, University of Ghana, Legon ABSTRACT: This write-up is a stylistic analysis of a prose passage along three thematic areas: pace, expectancy and high emotional tension. Each of these themes is carefully traced in the passage using the analysis. It is a practical application of one of the numerous approaches to Discourse Analysis-Stylistics-in the analysis of a text. The text is an excerpt from Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. KEYWORDS: stylistic analysis, thematic, pace, expectancy, high emotional tension, discourse analysis, Things fall Apart. Research Objective This study basically attempts to trace how the linguistic choices in the prose passage project the themes of pace, expectancy and high emotional tension which dominate the text. The author could not have evoked these feelings without making appropriate linguistic choices. Identifying those choices and their roles underpin the goal of this study. Theoretical Underpinning Generally speaking, stylistics sometimes involves the exercise of revealing the linguistic peculiarity of an author’s art. This perspective conceives of style as idiolect. Crystal and Davy (1969:77) explain that studying an author’s work via this theory is ‘an attempt to isolate, define, and discuss those linguistic features which are felt to be peculiarly his, which help to distinguish him from other authors’. -

The area of language and society – sociolinguistics – is intended to show how our use of language is governed by such factors as class, gender, race, etc. A subsection of this area is anthropological linguistics which is concerned with form and use of language in different cultures and to what extent the development of language has been influenced by cultural environment. Raymond Hickey Language and Society Page 2 of 37 The study of language and society – sociolinguistics – can be dated to about the middle of the twentieth century. -
Scalar Effects of Social Networks on Language Variation
[This is a pre-print version of an article to appear in Language Variation and Change. Please consult the final version if citing.] Scalar effects of social networks on language variation Devyani Sharma Queen Mary, University of London ABSTRACT The role of social networks in language variation has been studied using a wide range of metrics. This study critically examines the effect of different dimensions of networks on different aspects of language variation. Three dimensions of personal network (ethnicity, nationality, diversity) are evaluated in relation to three levels of language structure (phonetic form, accent range, language choice) over three generations of British Asians. The results indicate a scaling of network influences. The two metrics relating to qualities of an individual’s ties are more historically and culturally specific, whereas the network metric that relates to the structure of an individual’s social world appears to exert a more general effect on accent repertoires across generations. This two-tier typology—network qualities (more culturally contingent) and network structures (more general)—facilitates an integrated understanding of previous studies and a more structured methodology for studying the effect of social networks on language. INTRODUCTION Social networks have long been recognized as central to how people speak. Some studies have identified powerful general network mechanisms in language change (e.g., Milroy and Milroy, 1978), while others have focused on more community-specific dynamics (e.g., Gal, 1978). A broad picture of how and why language is influenced by social networks thus tends to be complicated by the difficulty of comparing across studies and the tendency to select network measures relevant to the community in question. -

Representasi Perempuan Dalam Kukungan Tradisi Jawa Pada Film Kartini Karya Hanung Bramantyo
ProTVF, Volume 4, No. 1, 2020, hlm. 42-63 42 Representasi perempuan dalam kukungan tradisi Jawa pada film Kartini karya Hanung Bramantyo Alycia Putri1, Lestari Nurhajati2 1,2The London School of Public Relations, Jakarta, Indonesia ABSTRAK Film menjadi sebuah media yang saat ini masih diminati khalayak. Melalui film, masyarakat dapat memahami fenomena apa yang pernah dan bahkan sedang terjadi berdasarkan kisah nyata atau hanya fiktif belaka. Film Kartini yang distutradarai oleh Hanung Bramantyo dan diperankan oleh Dian Sastrowardoyo sebagai sosok Kartini merupakan sebuah media yang menampilkan kisah nyata, berdasarkan sejarah kepada masyarakat. Film ini menggambarkan tentang kaum perempuan abad ke-19 yang tidak dapat bebas dan tidak setara dengan laki-laki. Namun yang menarik sosok Kartini digambarkan sebagai sosok perempuan yang bukan hanya tokoh emansipasi, tetapi juga memiliki jiwa revolusioner. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana sesungguhnya film Kartini ini mampu merepresentasikan gambaran kesetaraan gender atas sosok perempuan yang berada dalam kukungan tradisi Jawa. Konsep kesetaraan gender menjadi dasar dalam penelitian ini. Gender merupakan suatu pembeda peran, fungsi, status dan tanggungjawab antara laki-laki dengan perempuan sebagai hasil dari bentukan (konstruksi) sosial budaya yang tercipta melalui proses sosialisasi dari satu generasi ke generasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis wacana Sara Mills yang memiliki fokus pada wacana mengenai feminisme; bagaimana perempuan ditampilkan dalam teks, teks yang -
Code-Switching, Identity, and Globalization
JWST555-28 JWST555-Tannen March 11, 2015 10:3 Printer Name: Yet to Come Trim: 244mm × 170mm 28 Code-Switching, Identity, and Globalization KIRA HALL AND CHAD NILEP 0 Introduction1 Although scholarship in discourse analysis has traditionally conceptualized interac- tion as taking place in a single language, a growing body of research in sociocultural linguistics views multilingual interaction as a norm instead of an exception. Linguistic scholarship acknowledging the diversity of sociality amid accelerating globalization has focused on linguistic hybridity instead of uniformity, movement instead of stasis, and borders instead of interiors. This chapter seeks to address how we have arrived at this formulation through a sociohistorical account of theoretical perspectives on dis- cursive practices associated with code-switching. We use the term broadly in this chapter to encompass the many kinds of language alternations that have often been subsumed under or discussed in tandem with code-switching, among them borrowing, code-mixing, interference, diglossia, style-shifting, crossing, mock language, bivalency,andhybridity. Language alternation has been recognized since at least the mid-twentieth century as an important aspect of human language that should be studied. Vogt (1954), for example, suggested that bilingualism should be “of great interest to the linguist” since language contact has probably had an effect on all languages. Still, language contact in these early studies is most often portrayed as an intrusion into the monolingual interior of a bounded language. Indeed, the century-old designation of foreign-derived vocabulary as loan words or borrowings promotes the idea that languages are distinct entities: lexemes are like objects that can be adopted by another language to fill expressive needs, even if they never quite become part of the family. -
