  • The Social Meaning of Eh in Canadian English∗
    THE SOCIAL MEANING OF EH IN CANADIAN ENGLISH∗ Derek Denis University of Toronto 1. Introduction. The recent surge in sociolinguistic investigation of pragmatic markers such as general extenders (and stuff, and things like that), discourse and quotative like, and utterance final tags (right, you know) has been primarily fuelled by questions about grammaticalization and language change (D’Arcy 2005; Tagliamonte and D’Arcy 2007; Cheshire 2007; Tagliamonte and Denis 2010; Pichler and Levey 2011; Denis and Tagliamonte pear). Included in that set of pragmatic markers is eh, a very special variant (at least for Canadians). In this paper, I build on earlier work (Avis 1972; Johnson 1976; Gibson 1977; Gold 2005, 2008) and discuss the development of this very Canadian feature in terms of indexical order and indexi- cal change, along the lines of Silverstein’s seminal 2003 paper and Johnstone and Kiesling’s (Johnstone and Kiesling 2008; Johnstone 2009) work on Pittsburghese, which applies Silverstein’s framework. Although eh is well-known as the quintessential Canadian English stereo- type, there has been little research that discusses how exactly it came to hold this status. By tracking the points in time at which eh gained meanings at subse- quent orders of indexicality, a` la Silverstein (1993, 2003) and Johnstone (2009), I establish a timeline of the development of eh’s social meaning in Canada. My arguments draw on evidence based on the metadiscourse surrounding eh, perfor- mances of Canadian identity, real- and apparent-time data that tracks the usage of eh in Southern Ontario English over the last 130 years (Tagliamonte 2006; Denis 2012) and the commodification of eh.

  • How Is Rush Canadian?
    Rush and Philosophy 2nd pages 3/11/11 1:56 PM Page 287 21 How Is Rush Canadian? DURRELL BOWMAN Given Canada’s relatively small population (twenty-one million in 1969, thirty-four million in 2009), many—but certainly not all—of the nation’s more ambitious musicians have pursued at least some of their career activities in the US and other foreign parts. Rush mainly demonstrates “Canadianness” by combining such British and American influences as progressive rock, hard rock, and indi- vidualism. However, the band has also included more specifically Canadian references across its long career. CanCon The Canadian government implemented specific content—or “CanCon”—regulations in 1971, and broadcasters were then required to include certain percentages of Canadian material. For music, at least two of a song recording’s four main categories of Music, Artist, Production, and Lyrics (“M-A-P-L”) must be “Canadian” according to citizenship or location. The interpretation of this changed after 1991, due to a “scandal” involving Bryan Adams failing to qualify as Canadian because of co-writing certain songs, such as “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You” ( Waking up the Neighbours and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves , both 1991), with such non-Canadians as Mutt Lange and Michael Kamen. (Spelling the word “neighbours” in the Canadian way apparently didn’t help.) The outcome is that even though Shania Twain similarly co- wrote the songs on Come on Over (1997) with her then-husband Mutt Lange and did not record any of this music in Canada, her album and its songs by that point qualified as Canadian.

  • The Hamlet Mash-Up1
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 6, NUMBER 2, DECEMBER 2012 The Hamlet Mash-Up1 Geoff Klock2 Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, USA Abstract Shakespeare’s Hamlet is one of the most famous works of art in the world, and has inspired countless interpretations, allusions, references and discussions. The author describes his creation of a video collage of Hamlet material, that shows, rather than claims, the ubiquity of Hamlet, and points toward what Shakespeare could look like after the advent of the Internet. Hamlet’s value as Hollywood shorthand is discussed, and some of the throwaway Hamlet references are seen to be more complex than they may first appear. Projects of a similar nature are discussed and encouraged. Keywords Hamlet, video, collage, multi-media, Shakespeare, theatre The Hamlet Mash Up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDTAn6r4HpQ When I began teaching Hamlet in my British Literature 1 class I told my students that Hamlet was very famous and very influential. I pointed out, for example, that the basic plot of Hamlet is repeated in The Lion King. Some students nodded their heads but I felt like the point needed more illustration. I gave them a handout explaining that the following expressions come from Hamlet: something rotten in the state of Denmark mad north by north west murder most foul to thine own self be true 1 This article was originally presented in a truncated form at the Poetry and Poetics of Popular Culture, University of South Australia, Online Conference, Nov 11, 2011. 2 Geoff Klock received his doctorate in English Literature from The University of Oxford.
