Beyond the traditional scope of translanguaging: Comparing translanguaging practices in Belgian multilingual and monolingual classroom contexts
Publication date: July 2018Source: Language & Communication, Volume 61Author(s): Kirsten Rosiers, Inge Van Lancker, Steven DelarueAbstractThis paper investigates the interactional behavior and the socio-pedagogical valorization of translanguaging practices of teachers and pupils in a multilingual and a monolingual classroom. By including the latter, we aim at expanding the scope of translanguaging research. Based on linguistic-ethnographic fieldwork, our analyses demonstrate differences in the nature of translanguaging practices: norm-breaking in the multilingual classroom versus turning back to the norm in the monolingual...

Raciolinguistic chronotopes and the education of Latinx students: Resistance and anxiety in a bilingual school
Publication date: September 2018Source: Language & Communication, Volume 62Author(s): Nelson Flores, Mark C. Lewis, Jennifer PhuongAbstractA major assumption of critical applied linguistics has been that changing the language attitudes of individual teachers will lead to the development of more linguistically responsive classrooms. Yet, despite decades of such efforts, linguistically responsive classrooms remain the exception rather than the norm. As an explanation for this lack of progress, we propose a raciolinguistic chronotope perspective that brings attention to the broader socio-historical processes that shape the in...

Language change and cultural change: The grammaticalization of the get-passive in context
Publication date: September 2018Source: Language & Communication, Volume 62Author(s): Lieselotte AnderwaldAbstractReciprocal and reflexive ('middle') readings of the get-passive (as in get introduced, get married, get dressed or get shaved) have been taken as indicative of the status of the get-passive as a middle construction more generally. Historically, this interpretation is misleading, as these (marginal) get-passives refer to cultural practices that have undergone massive change between the time of the inception of the get-passive (before the 1760s) and today. What today are get-middles used to be canonical passives ...

Culture and class in a glass: Scaling the semiofoodscape
Publication date: September 2018Source: Language & Communication, Volume 62Author(s): Johan Järlehed, Máiréad MoriartyAbstractThe article puts forward the semiofoodscape as a concept for the study of the interrelationship between food and language. We illustrate the theoretical and analytical value of the concept by unpacking some of the socioeconomic and cultural dynamics involved in the production, marketing and consumption of a Basque wine, Txakoli. We contend that the semiofoodscape both frames and mediates how semiotic resources can be mobilized to these ends and how they operate and for whom they work. Our scale a...

The dynamics of interactional and intentional pattern formation in children's language socialization
Publication date: September 2018Source: Language & Communication, Volume 62Author(s): Bettina PerregaardAbstractThe paradigm of Language Socialization draws upon the theoretical and analytical concepts used in linguistic anthropology, poststructuralist approaches to the study of discourse and practice, and the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl. This blending of different philosophical positions leaves Language Socialization with an incoherent concept of subjectivity. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate, first, how a coherent concept may be reached. The article argues for a phenomenological approach to the concept o...

Reporting, capturing and voicing speech amongst the Arawet é
Publication date: Available online 22 March 2018 Source:Language & Communication Author(s): Guilherme Orlandini Heurich This paper addresses instances in which another person's speech is made one's own. Starting with the presentation of reported speech practices in daily conversations, then moving to semi-ritual retellings, speech play and the capture of another's voice by force, it finally brings examples of voicing nonhumans in ritual discourse. Drawing on studies of reported speech, voicing and capture in Amazonia and elsewhere, it suggests a possible connection between these different modalities of using ano...

On recognizing persistence in the Indigenous language ideologies of multilingualism in two Native American Communities
Publication date: Available online 7 June 2018 Source:Language & Communication Author(s): Paul V. Kroskrity Based on original and long-term research in two ideologically divergent Native American linguistic communities, I want to demonstrate the surprising persistence of Indigenous language ideologies associated with multilingualism and how differences in these ideologies have manifested in divergent patterns of language shift and, more recently, in the nature and scope of language revitalization efforts. The Village of Tewa (NE Arizona) still partially retains a multilingual adaptation in all generations except...

Telling the Other's side. Formulating others' mental states in driver training
This article examines ascriptions of mental states to other road users in live traffic driver training. Through this practice, instructors formulate how others make sense of the trainee driver's car. Using multimodal conversation analysis, we demonstrate how others' side formulations support trainee drivers' communicative handling of the car during ongoing coordination events. In contrast, formulations occurring after coordination events serve educational ends, yielding the generic inferential practices by which competent drivers make contextual sense of others' actions. Therefore, others' side formulations comprise an imp...

The origin of language among the Ach é
Publication date: Available online 30 May 2018 Source:Language & Communication Author(s): Jan David Hauck For the Aché of Paraguay, language seems to never have been an issue, much less a topic. Aché verbal art emphasizes non-communicative and non-representational functions of speech. The activity of speaking was not related to ethnic or personal identity and there is no account of language in their mythology. This stands in stark contrast to their neighbors, the Guaraní, who have the concept of the word-soul, which relates to names and personhood, and a myth about the origin of language. In the twentieth cen...
