    Polari: a Sociohistorical Study of the Life and Decline of a Secret Language

    Polari: A sociohistorical study of the life and decline of a secret language. Heather Taylor Undergraduate Dissertation 2007 The University of Manchester A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of B.A. Hons. in English Language and Linguistics in the University of Manchester 56951580 1 Aims & Introduction The objective of the following investigation is to examine the history of the secret in- group language Polari from a sociolinguistic perspective. This will include looking at the history and uses of this lexicon and the factors which led to its rise, and eventually to its decline. A key question posed by this investigation is the extent to which Polari survives today and the type of presence, if any, it has in contemporary gay culture. This will be done through a critical review of the available data on the topic and also by investigating the capacity in which Polari survives today (specifically focussing on whether it is present in the media and entertainment or in the internet community). Secret languages are fascinating to linguists’ curiosity, and Polari is a particularly interesting subject because of the rich tapestry of interwoven sources which build this unique lexicon, and the fact that it has been ‘off-limits’ to outsiders until very recently. The variety discovered in the lexicon is indicative of the fascinating history of Polari – a story of different itinerant groups meeting and trading lexical items along the way. It is interesting to trace how a language with its origins in the cant of thieves and travelling tradesmen, used to conceal criminal activity, came to be the exuberant carrier of gay identity in the mid-twentieth century.

  • Speech Play, Gender Play, and the Verbal Artistry of Queer Argots

    Speech Play, Gender Play, and the Verbal Artistry of Queer Argots

    UDK 81’373.612-055-3 Izvorni znanstveni članak Prihvaćeno za tisak: 10. rujna 2018. https://doi.org/10.22210/suvlin.2018.086.03 Rusty Barrett University of Kentucky [email protected] Speech play, gender play, and the verbal artistry of queer argots Th is paper presents a comparative study of argots (or secret varieties) used in communities marked by non–normative gender or sexuality. A comparison of nine argots based in diff erent languages su- ggests that the development of each of these argots involves large amounts of speech play. A variety of patterns of speech play are analyzed, including cross–language play, play languages, morpholo- gical restructuring and innovation, and lexical substitutions within the local language. Th e impor- tance of speech play in these communities is illustrated with the genre of mock translations in which familiar texts (such as Shakespeare or the Bible) are reproduced using argot. Th e results suggest that speech play and verbal artistry are important and understudied elements of queer cultures. 1. Introduction Th is paper compares a number of distinct “secret” language varieties used in gender/sexual non–normative communities to examine which (if any) features might be shared across them. While there have been a number of studies of specifi c “queer argots” (the relevant literature is discussed below) there has not been a com- parative cross–linguistic study of queer ways of speaking. A comparison of nine dif- ferent argots suggests that the prevalence of speech play is a unifying feature across all argots. Th e paper outlines the various forms of speech play commonly found in queer argots, suggesting that shared linguistic humor is a common feature in the development of these varieties.

    THE TELEVISION ANNUAL for 196O the Most Eminent Actors and Actresseson the British Stage Nowadays Appear in Television

    THE TELEVISION ANNUAL FOR 196o The most eminent actors and actresseson the British stage nowadays appear in television. Vivien Leigh chose the unusual playThe Skin of Our Teeth,when she appeared for Granada. According to the "audience ratings", however,the play was not popular with viewers. THE TV REVOLUTION KENNETH BAILYSurveys the Non -Stop Development of British Television THE expansion of television, in numbers of viewers and in organization behind the programmes, has made a rapid spurt. In size and complexity, what is involved in television today was undreamed of only five years ago. Gone for ever are the days when every viewer knew where each programme was coming from, and knew that the BBC was responsible for all that he saw. Today many a viewer finds himself lost in a tangle of symbols like ATV, AR, ABC, TTT, TWW, and more; understanding of what goes on is fogged by varied "channel" numbers; by such slogans as "Granada from the North" when the programme comes from Chelsea; and by a mixture of ITV "boss" names always popping up in the press, like Parnell, Bernstein, Grade, Brownrigg and Adorian. Those old familiar names, Alexandra Palace and Lime Grove, which once meant the absolute source of all British television, are now lost among the mostly unnamed and little publicised studios of ITV in London and the provinces. And much that is seen comes out of film cans from Hollywood, New York, Elstree and Teddington, produced out of a vortex of film -cum -TV financiers, producers, distributors and others. The maze of operations which is television today contrasts sharply with the tiny beginning, and the slow start.
