  • Katherine Nelson (1930- 2018)
    NEWS POSTED AUGUST 14, 2018 In Memoriam: Katherine Nelson (1930- 2018) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of another great in our field this week, a giant in the field of language acquisition. Katherine Nelson helped us all appreciate the power of the environment in shaping children’s language development. She was one of the first who looked at individual patters within our broader theories (the referential and expressive child) and helped forward the idea that children need to see words used across a number of contexts to build up their mental dictionaries. A note from her family is below: Katherine Nelson, a pioneering scholar of the development of language and cognition in children, died at home on August 10, 2018. Katherine Nelson’s research career shed new light on the role of language in the development of cognition. Her early research examined differences in how children organized word recall; later work also focused on scripts and autobiographical memory as critical domains. Throughout her work, Katherine emphasized the social context of experience as well as individual stylistic differences among children on developing capacities for language and thought. Her work illuminates the complex interactions among experience, environment, and language in cognitive development. Katherine grew up in a home infused with the common-sense spirit of the Swedish-Minnesotan heritage of her parents. She was the youngest of three children. Raised during the Great Depression and World War II mostly in Arlington, Virginia (with a stint in dust bowl-era Nebraska), she recalled her father regularly asking the children at the dinner table to report on what they had done for their country that day.

  • Linguistics 367.01 Language, Sex and Gender in American Culture Course Syllabus
    Linguistics 367.01 Language, Sex and Gender in American Culture Course Syllabus Instructor: xxxxx Email: xxxxx Office: xxxxx Office Hours: xxxxx Phone: xxxxx WebCT URL: http://class.osu.edu/ Instructor’s Mailbox: Entryway of 222 Oxley Hall. Accessible 8am-5pm Monday-Friday. Course Objectives: It is well-established that men and women may differ in the language that they use as well as in the way that they use language. In this course we will examine the ways that sex, gender and language interact, specifically in speech communities in the United States. Specifically, we will: • evaluate various explanations for differentiated language use between men and women including gender- and sex-based explanations • evaluate issues of gender inequality in language use • examine various theories of gender, sex and sexuality • consider how concepts of gender, sex and sexuality are shaped by discourse • use linguistic analyses of conversational interaction to examine some of the ways that gender, sex and sexuality influence language use • examine and evaluate a diverse body of research from sociolinguistics, anthropology, gender studies and psychology that bear on these issues This course is designed to fulfill the GEC second writing course requirement. As a result, an additional important objective of this course is to help you further develop your skills of written and oral expression. This will be done through specific instruction on writing and presenting by the instructor, informal and formal writing assignments, an oral presentation, and short homework assignments focusing on language usage. Feedback on your writing from the instructor and other members of the class is incorporated into the course but you should feel free to ask for additional input if needed.

  • Linguistic Anthropology in 2013: Super-New-Big
    AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST Linguistic Anthropology Linguistic Anthropology in 2013: Super-New-Big Angela Reyes ABSTRACT In this essay, I discuss how linguistic anthropological scholarship in 2013 has been increasingly con- fronted by the concepts of “superdiversity,” “new media,” and “big data.” As the “super-new-big” purports to identify a contemporary moment in which we are witnessing unprecedented change, I interrogate the degree to which these concepts rely on assumptions about “reality” as natural state versus ideological production. I consider how the super-new-big invites us to scrutinize various reconceptualizations of diversity (is it super?), media (is it new?), and data (is it big?), leaving us to inevitably contemplate each concept’s implicitly invoked opposite: “regular diversity,” “old media,” and “small data.” In the section on “diversity,” I explore linguistic anthropological scholarship that examines how notions of difference continue to be entangled in projects of the nation-state, the market economy, and social inequality. In the sections on “media” and “data,” I consider how questions about what constitutes lin- guistic anthropological data and methodology are being raised and addressed by research that analyzes new and old technologies, ethnographic material, semiotic forms, scale, and ontology. I conclude by questioning the extent to which it is the super-new-big itself or the contemplation about the super-new-big that produces perceived change in the world.

  • Shifting Gender Positions Among Hindi-Speaking Hijras
    10 hijras1 Kira Hall and Veronica-O'Donovan I was disowned by th~Hindus and shunned by my own wife. I was exploited by the Muslims who dis- dained my company. Indeed I was like a hijda who was neither one thing nor another but could be mis- used by everyone. (Singh 1989: 55) Introduction The hijras occupy a marginalized position in the Indian social matrix, as their ambiguous gender identity provokes conflicting feelings of awe and contempt. Discussed variously in the anthro- pological literature as 'transvestites', 'eunuchs', 'hermaphrodites', and even 'a third gender',2 most of India's hijras were raised as boys before taking up residencein one of the many hijra commu- nities which exist in almost every region of India. Since the late 1980s, several European and American cultural theorists (e.g. Nanda 1985, 1990, 1993, 1994, Bullough and Bullough 1993) have pointed to the visibility of the hijra in Indian society in order to suggestthe cultural possibility of a more liberating, non-dichoto- mous organization of gender. Indeed, the hijras' livelihood is contingent upon their inextricable position in the social structure; according to tradition, they are expectedto sing and dance at births and weddings, where they are rewarded with gifts of clothes, jew- ellery, and money. SHIFTINGGENDER POSITIONS 229 Yet the life-stories of the Hindi-speaking hijras we interviewed in Banaras during the spring and summer of 1993 reflect a very dif- ferent reality from that suggested by these theorists - a reality basedon familial rejection, cultural isolatio n and societal neglect. When the hijra lifestyle is discussedwith respect to this contem- porary reality instead of historical or mythical representation,3 their identification as a uniquely situated third sex becomesmuch more complicated.

  • Language in the Middle: Class and Sexual Discourse in Delhi
    LANGUAGE IN THE MIDDLE: CLASS AND SEXUAL DISCOURSE IN DELHI DR. KIRA HALL PROFESSOR OF LINGUISTICS AND ANTHROPOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER FEBRUARY 19, 2021 | 2.00 TO 3.30 PM (PST) PLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE FOR THIS TALK. REGISTER HERE AFTER REGISTERING, YOU WILL RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL CONTAINING INFORMATION ABOUT JOINING THE ZOOM MEETING. Abstract This talk draws from ethnographic research among youth in Delhi’s expanding middle classes to call for more sociolinguistic attention to the role played by sexuality discourse in the reproduction of class relations. The discussion highlights the centrality of the middle classes to sustaining as well as shifting sexual normativity, suggesting that sexual norms are in part constituted through everyday discourses that situate middle class subjectivity between two class extremes. Specifically, the talk tracks how Hinglish, as a “sexy” mixed-language alternative to a class system polarized by English and Hindi, came to replace English as the preferred language of sexuality, challenging an enduring colonialist legacy of vernacular censorship. Two case studies are presented: the first involving a bisexual woman who confronts elitist discourse by cursing in Hindi; the second involving a transgender man struggling to convince the medical establishment of his worthiness for sexual reassignment surgery. While the protagonists in both narratives loosely belong to Delhi’s expanding middle classes and are speakers of what may be characterized as Hinglish, they are not equally able to master the sexuality discourse that has become indexical of upward mobility. Dr. Kira Hall’s work is situated at the intersection of linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics, two closely related fields focused on the relationship between language and society.

  • Performativity
    Kira Hall YALE UNIVERSITY Performativity he concept of the performative utterance, bom within J. L. Austin's ordinary language philosophy, has influenced the trajectory of lin- Tguistic anthropology in ways that I can only hint at here, capturing the attention of scholars working within areas as diverse as ethnography of speaking, language socialization, pragmatics, discourse analysis, and more recently, gender and language. The origin of the term performative can be traced back to Austin's posthumous How To Do Things with Words. Austin, objecting to the logical positivists' focus on the verifiability of statements, introduced the performative as a new category of utterance that has no truth value since it does not describe the world, but acts upon it—a way of "doing things with words." The classic constative "snow is white" is descriptively true or false, but statements such as "I now pronounce you husband and wife" are something different, their successful outcome depending on a number of conditions (i.e., "felicity conditions") that cannot be evaluated in terms of truth. Such declarations are performative, not constative, be- cause it is by the utterance of the words that the act is performed. By the end of his book, Austin cleverly argues that all utterances are performative, even those that appear merely to describe a state of affairs, since such utterances do the act of informing. This is a revolutionary conclusion, for all utterances must then be viewed as actions, an equation which linguistic anthropologists have of course embraced with fervor. With Austin's exposition, the broader area of speech act theory emerged.

Much current work in this area emphasizes identity as one key aspect of sexuality. However, recent cri- tiques of identity-based research advocate instead a desire-centered view of sexuality. Such an approach artificially restricts the scope of the field by overlooking the close relationship between identity and desire.

  • The Feminist Foundations of Language, Gender, and Sexuality Research
    Part I Theory and History 1 The Feminist Foundations of Language, Gender, and Sexuality Research MARY BUCHOLTZ 1. Introduction: Linguistics and Feminism Feminist linguists have been in dialogue with feminists in other disciplines since the field’s formation, yet this historical relationship and its implications for current work are only occasionally highlighted in scholarship. This chapter reaffirms the feminist foundations of a wide range of research on language, gender, and sexual- ity by highlighting and illustrating the numerous, sometimes clashing, and often not fully articulated feminist positionings taken up within various studies over the course of the field’s development. Because the term “feminism” is often misunderstood, I offer the following definition: Feminism: a diverse and sometimes conflicting set of theoretical, methodological, and political perspectives that have in common a commitment to understanding and chal- lenging social inequalities related to gender and sexuality. Although “feminism” often appears in the singular, its reference is always plural; there is no unified feminist theoretical, methodological, or political perspective. Yet, despite the often vigorous and heated debates between different versions of feminism, they share a commitment to addressing social inequality. Furthermore, the field of language, gender, and sexuality is both unified and divided in precisely the same way as is feminism itself: more or less unified in its general political goals, divided in the perspectives it takes toward achieving those goals. But despite this broad scope, not all scholarship on the intersection of language with gender and sexuality is part of the field, because not all of it shares a political commitment to social justice.
