Narratives of Educational and Social Endeavour W RIGHT EDITED by HAZEL R Discourses We Live By Narratives of Educational and Social Endeavour W RIGHT EDITED BY HAZEL R. WRIGHT AND MARIANNE HØYEN Discourses We Live By AND What are the infl uences that govern how people view their worlds? What are the embedded Narratives of Educational values and prac� ces that underpin the ways people think and act? H ØYEN and Social Endeavour Discourses We Live By approaches these ques� ons through narra� ve research, in a process that uses words, images, ac� vi� es or artefacts to ask people – either individually or collec� vely within social groupings – to examine, discuss, portray or otherwise make public their place in the world, their sense of belonging to (and iden� ty within) the physical and cultural space they inhabit. DITED BY AZEL RIGHT E H R. W This book is a rich and mul� faceted collec� on of twenty-eight chapters that use varied lenses to examine the discourses that shape people’s lives. The contributors are themselves from many AND MARIANNE HØYEN backgrounds – diff erent academic disciplines within the humani� es and social sciences, diverse professional prac� ces and a range of countries and cultures. They represent a broad spectrum of age, status and outlook, and variously apply their research methods – but share a common interest in people, their lives, thoughts and ac� ons. Gathering such eclec� c experiences as those of student-teachers in Kenya, a released prisoner in Denmark, academics in Colombia, a group of migrants learning English, and gambling addic� on support-workers in Italy, alongside D more mainstream educa� onal themes, the book presents a fascina� ng array of insights. ISCOURSES Discourses We Live By will be essen� al reading for adult educators and prac� � oners, those involved with educa� onal and professional prac� ce, narra� ve researchers, and many sociologists. It will appeal to all who want to know how narra� ves shape the way we live and the W way we talk about our lives.

They have provided us with interesting and well-thought-out chapters, and those whose native tongue is other than English, have translated not only their own texts and their narrative data, but also the literature that they cite, making their material readily accessible in a common language to all our readers. For this, also, we are grateful. We thank Alessandra Tosi and her team of editors and IT experts at Open Book Publishing — particularly Lucy, Luca, Laura and Anna — for helping us to create and disseminate this varied and lengthy coverage of the narratives around discourses in private and professional spaces. Doing this successfully has been a challenging but worthwhile process, and we hope that you will fnd it a stimulating read. Special thanks are due to Tom Perkins (https://tomperkins.info) for taking and editing the photographs that introduce each section, which, as some of you may recognize, pursue a European theme in keeping with the spatial range of the book. We are grateful, too, for permission to use another of his photographs on the cover. Thanks also to Katie Wright for creating the graphic illustrations from the authors’ originals.

Strossmayera u Osijeku Filozofski fakultet Preddiplomski studij engleskog jezika i književnosti i njemačkog jezika i književnosti Stana Pavić On Dialect Continuum Završni rad doc. dr. sc. Gabrijela Buljan Osijek, 2011. 1. Summary and key-words This paper deals with the issue of dialect continuum, which is a range of dialects spoken in some geographical area that are only slightly different between neighbouring areas. A dialect is not superior to another one, and certain dialects are considered languages mostly because of historical, political, and geographical reasons. We cannot discuss dialect continuum without mentioning the cumulative, Levenshtein, geographic, and phonological distances. Those are “tools” used to study and explore dialect. Lines marking the boundaries between two regions which differ with respect to some linguistic feature are called isoglosses, and they can cause a number of problems because they are not always “perfect”, they do not always coincide. Certain political and cultural factors created boundaries between different varieties of a dialect because a shared language is seen as something very important in the shared culture and economy, and a distinct language is important in demarcation one state of another. Some of the most important dialect continua in Europe are the Western Romance, the West Germanic, and the North Slavic dialect continuum. Also the 27 Dutch dialects that lie on a straight line are a good example of how a dialect continuum looks like.

  • Dialectology
    DIALECTOLOGY J. K. CHAMBERS AND PETER TRUDGILL SECOND EDITION 1 Dialect and language Dialectology, obviously, is the study of dialect and dialects. But what exactly is a dialect? In common usage, of course, a dialect is a substandard, low-status, often rustic form of language, generally associated with the peasantry, the working class, or other groups lacking in prestige. dialect is also a term which is often applied to forms of lan- guage, particularly those spoken in more isolated parts of the world, which have no written form. And dialects are also often regarded as some kind of (often erroneous) deviation from a norm – as aberrations of a correct or standard form of language. In this book we shall not be adopting any of these points of view. We will, on the contrary, accept the notion that all speakers are speakers of at least one dialect – that standard English, for example, is just as much a dialect as any other form of English – and that it does not make any kind of sense to suppose that any one dialect is in any way linguistically superior to any other. 1.1 Mutual intelligibility It is very often useful to regard dialects as dialects of a language. Dialects, that is, can be regarded as subdivisions of a particular language. In this way we may talk of the Parisian dialect of French, the Lancashire dialect of English, the Bavarian dialect of German, and so on. This distinction, however, presents us with a number of difficulties. In particular, we are faced with the problem of how we can distinguish between a language and a dialect, and the related problem of how we can decide what a language is.

  • Varietiesofenglish.Pdf
    Variety studies In present-day linguistics the term variety is used to refer to any variant of a language which can be sufficiently delimited from another variant. The grounds for such differentiation may be social, historical, spatial or a combination of these. The necessity for a neutral term such as variety arose from the loaded use of the term dialect: this was not only used in the neutral sense of a regionally bound form of a language, but also with the implication that the linguistically most interesting varieties of a language are those spoken by the older rural population. This view is understandable given the origin of dialectology in the nineteenth century, that is in the heyday of historical linguistics. Nowadays, sociolinguistic attitudes are prevalent and the need for a term which can include the investigation of the urban population of a language from a social point of view became evident. The neutrality of the term variety must be stressed. It simply refers to a distinguishable variant of a language. This means that there are a large number of varieties of any given language, indeed the number is theoretically infinite. The sole criterion to be fulfilled by a particular variety is delimitation vis à vis other varieties. Dialects within a variety framework are frequently referred to as regional varieties and sociolects as social varieties, though the label dialect can be retained if used objectively. The notion of ‘dialect’ 1) Dialect Strictly speaking the term dialect refers to a geographical variant of a language. However, it is used loosely, not only by non-linguists, to talk about any variety of language.

Beberapa kajian terkait dengan dialektogi dan linguistik baik secara sinkronik dan diakronik inipun dipengaruhi oleh perkembangan penggunaan bahasa Inggris di suatu wilayah. Meskipun sampai saat ini beberapa dialek masih dianggap sebagai sebuah kesalahan berkaitan dengan tidak benar dan standarnya penggunaan fungsi bahasa.
