Code-switching refers to mixing words or phrases from two languages during speech or writing. For African Americans, code-switching can be seen as oppressive due to white privilege permeating social institutions. Within African American culture as well, code-switching is ridiculed and those who do it are seen as "talking white" or being too proper. Factors that lead to code-switching include a lack of resources for schools in poor black neighborhoods, harsher discipline of students of color, obstacles to career advancement for people of color, lack of diverse media representation, whitewashing of religion, and election of a nationalist president comfortable with divides. True post-racial society would not need code-switch

Measuring Language Attitude
This document discusses language attitudes and methods for measuring them. It defines language attitude as an evaluation of a language variety or its speakers. Two main methods to measure attitudes are direct methods using questionnaires or observations, and indirect methods like the match-guise technique. The match-guise technique involves playing recordings of the same content in different languages without telling participants the purpose is to measure their language attitudes based on traits rated on a semantic differential scale. Some example studies applying this technique in Egypt and Mexico are summarized.
LANGUAGE PRODUCTION IN PSYCOLINGUISTIC
Psycholinguistics investigates the mental mechanisms underlying language processing. It studies both language comprehension, how we understand words and sentences, and language production, how we speak and use language. Research methodologies in psycholinguistics include reaction time experiments, eye tracking studies, brain imaging techniques like PET and fMRI, and studies of patients with brain lesions. Key findings include that the meaning and phonology of words are automatically activated during reading and that language functions are lateralized, with the left hemisphere specialized for language abilities.
Second Language Acquisition
This document discusses second language acquisition. It begins by defining second language acquisition as the process of learning additional languages after one's native language. It notes SLA is related to cognitive psychology and education. The document then differentiates between first and second languages. It discusses various approaches to studying SLA, including contrastive analysis and product-oriented versus process-oriented research. Grammatical differences between the first and second languages are also examined. The document concludes by linking SLA research to practical implications for language teaching pedagogy and methodology.
Language contact
This document discusses language contact, multilingualism, and applied linguistics. It notes that language contact occurs when speakers of different languages interact and influence each other, and this is studied in contact linguistics. Multilingualism refers to societies engaging with more than one language regularly. Language contact and multilingualism are interrelated concepts that must be analyzed together in relation to cultural and linguistic roots. Language contact can cause political conflicts when different language groups interact, as the dominant group may control areas like administration. Contact linguistics helps reduce conflicts by developing understanding between groups.
(Applied linguistics) shmitt's book ch 1
Applied linguistics uses knowledge about language, how it is learned, and how it is used to solve real-world problems. It includes areas like second language teaching, literacy, speech pathology, and translation. Applied linguistics has developed over the 20th century through different language teaching methods like the direct method, grammar translation, and audiolingualism. More recently, it views language in holistic and integrative ways rather than discrete skills, and considers the language learner's perspective. It also takes new approaches to teaching the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Applied linguistics often lacks definitive answers because language occurs between people and in the mind.
Meeting 11 social networks and communities of practice
1) Social networks are relationships between individuals connected through social and geographic spaces, while communities of practice are smaller groups of people with shared interests or goals.
2) Social networks are defined by the frequency and quality of interactions between members, whereas social class is determined by social attributes like education and occupation.
3) Communities of practice require mutual engagement between members, a jointly negotiated shared goal, and a shared repertoire of language, practices, and stories.
Code Switching, Types and Reasons
This document discusses code switching, which is when multilingual speakers alternate between two languages or varieties of the same language in a single conversation. It defines code switching as the process of keeping the linguistic features of each language while switching between them to facilitate conversation. There are three main types of code switching: inter-sentential, which occurs at sentence boundaries; intra-sentential, which occurs within sentences; and tag switching, where a word or phrase from another language is inserted into the conversation. Examples of each type are provided.
Language choice in Multilingual communities.pptx
This document discusses language choice in multilingual communities. It defines key concepts such as linguistic repertoire, diglossia, bilingualism, and multilingualism. Linguistic repertoire refers to the set of language skills and knowledge a person has, including varieties like dialects. Diglossia describes a situation where two varieties of the same language are used for different contexts, with one being more prestigious. Bilingualism refers to the ability to use two languages interchangeably. Multilingualism is the ability to communicate in three or more languages. The document also discusses language interference, which refers to deviations that occur when applying knowledge from one's native language to a second language.

code mixing and code switching
This document discusses code mixing in Pakistani English literature. It analyzes code mixing at the phrase and clause level in a novel called "Ice Candy Man" through 10 randomly selected chapters. The summary examines how code mixing is used and the motivations behind it, finding that social and cultural factors influence language use. Urdu phrases are frequently inserted into English sentences in the text, showing the creative nature of language. Code mixing enhances communication between linguistically similar or different groups.
Introduction to sociolinguistics ch 1 4
Sociolinguistics is the study of how language and society interact. A key concept is that we alter our language based on social factors like the setting, participants, and topic of conversation. Pidgins develop as languages of contact between groups without a shared language, using simplified grammar and vocabulary from the source languages. If a pidgin is passed down to children as their primary language, it becomes a creole, a fully developed language with its own complex linguistic system. Code-switching and code-mixing occur when multilingual speakers blend elements of multiple languages in a single conversation for reasons of identity, emphasis, or lack of a word in one language.
Language, Thought and Culture Slideshare
1. The document discusses the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which proposes that the structure of a language influences its speakers' worldview and cognition. It describes studies showing how the categories used in a language to describe colors can influence color perception.
2. The text also introduces the concepts of "etic" and "emic" categories used in anthropology. Etic categories describe objective reality while emic categories reflect a culture's subjective perceptions based on its language and beliefs.
3. Finally, it discusses how semiotics studies how signs and their relationships construct meaning. Differences in how languages use signs can lead to divergent interpretations between cultures.
Contact language, Pidgin & Creole
This document discusses pidgin and creole languages. It defines pidgin as a simplified language that develops for communication between groups that speak different languages. Pidgins have no native speakers and basic grammar. Creoles evolve from pidgins and become the native language of a community, with more complex grammar and phonology. Examples provided are Tok Pisin, Hawai'i Creole English, and Jamaican Creole. Pidgins are used for trade and practical communication while creoles take on properties of full languages.
Diglossia
This document discusses the concept of diglossia, which refers to a situation where two varieties of the same language exist side by side within a speech community. It introduces diglossia and defines it as a stable language situation where a community uses a primary dialect as well as a divergent, codified superposed variety used for formal purposes like education, writing, and official spoken contexts. It then discusses different aspects of diglossia, including the functions of high vs low varieties, prestige and acquisition of the varieties, standardization efforts, differences in grammar, lexicon, and phonology between varieties. The document concludes that in diglossia, no one speaks the high variety as a mother tongue.

Introduction to sociolinguistics
1) Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. It examines how social factors such as context, status, and function influence language variation and use.
2) People code switch and use different linguistic varieties depending on social context, including the participants, setting, topic, and function of the interaction. Formal contexts like religion or education use high varieties while informal settings use low varieties.
3) Languages shift when their speakers abandon them for a dominant language due to economic, social, or demographic factors. This can lead to language loss or even death when no one speaks it anymore.
SOCIOLINGUISTICS:Language Maintenance, Shift and Death
This document discusses several topics related to language contact, borrowing, maintenance, shift, and death. It defines key terms like borrowing, language maintenance, and language shift. It also identifies several factors that can influence language shift, such as demographic, attitude/value, economic, social/political factors. Finally, it discusses different types of language death like gradual, sudden, radical, and bottom-to-top death and identifies several causes of rapid language loss and endangerment on a global scale, including natural/environmental causes, political/military causes, social causes, language policy causes, cultural/religious causes, and linguistic causes.
Presentation on Code Switching
Code-switching is one of the phenomenon of language which occurs in societies to make the communication more effective and meaningful. But it has also some negative impacts.
Here, we have tried to present all things based on English and Bengali language.
Bilingualism, code switching, and code mixing
This document discusses various linguistic phenomena that occur in multilingual communities, including bilingualism, code-switching, code-mixing, and borrowings. It provides definitions and examples of each. Bilingualism involves speaking two languages, while code-switching is switching between languages in conversation. Code-mixing involves rapidly switching codes within a single sentence. Borrowings occur when a word is adopted from one language due to no equivalent in the other.
What is sociolinguistics,
Sociolinguistics is the study of how social factors such as ethnicity, gender, age, and socioeconomic class influence language. It examines how language differs between social groups and how these differences can categorize individuals. Sociolinguists study how grammar, vocabulary, and other language aspects vary depending on social context, in contrast to dialectology which focuses on language's effect on society. Key concepts in sociolinguistics include speech communities, prestige varieties, social networks, and differences in language according to class, age, gender, geography, and politeness.
Social variation in language
This document discusses social variation in language and key concepts in sociolinguistics. It covers social dialects defined by education and occupation. It also discusses speech styles that vary based on formality, as well as speech accommodation theories of convergence and divergence. Registers are varieties used for different purposes, and examples of jargon, slang, and taboo terms are provided. The document also summarizes African American English as a vernacular continuum and describes some typical sound changes observed.
Regional variation
This document discusses regional variation in language. It begins by stating that while English is spoken in countries like the US, variations exist depending on factors like region, social class, ethnicity, and gender. It then explores regional dialects, which are varieties of a language spoken in different geographical areas. Examples are given of dialect maps showing variations in vocabulary across regions in countries like the US and England. Combinations of phonological, lexical, and syntactic features are used to distinguish dialects. Regional dialects arise due to geography, with separated populations developing differences over time, as well as political and social factors. Suggested classroom exercises involve viewing films about dialects, investigating local variations, and noting variants in literature.

language and social variation
This document discusses language variation based on social factors. It covers the topics of sociolinguistics, social dialects, education and occupation, social markers, and speech style/style-shifting. Sociolinguistics examines the relationship between language and society, investigating how languages function in communication and the structure of language. Social dialects, or sociolects, are language varieties that differ based on a speaker's social status or group, such as social class, religion, or ethnicity. Features like pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar are used to analyze social dialects. Education level and occupation also influence one's speech patterns and style.
Sociolinguistics, ch 9
This document provides an overview of key concepts in sociolinguistics. It discusses how sociolinguistics studies language variation and change in relation to social factors. Some key points covered include:
- Sociolinguistics examines how social factors like region, age, and gender correlate with linguistic differences.
- Languages have standardized and non-standard varieties, and sociolinguists look at issues of prestige and stigmatization.
- Researchers describe language variation through concepts like idiolects, sociolects, and linguistic variables.
- Phonological, grammatical, and lexical variation are all studied using descriptive tools from the different levels of language.
Code-Mixing and Code Switching
This document provides background information on code switching and code mixing. It discusses how code switching occurs when speakers alternate between two languages in a conversation, while code mixing happens when elements of both languages are used within a single utterance. The document then outlines the objectives, limitations, research problems, theoretical framework and methodology used to analyze code switching and code mixing in the novel "Love You Anyway". It identifies three types of code switching - tag, inter-sentential, and intra-sentential - and two types of code mixing - intra-sentential and extra-sentential. Potential reasons for code switching/mixing discussed include discussing specific topics, quoting others, emphasis, clarification and expressing group identity.
Language choice in multilingual communities
This document discusses language choice in multilingual communities. It describes the concept of variety codes, which refers to the different linguistic codes a person has and uses depending on the social context or domain of interaction. Domains include factors like the addressee, setting, topic, and function. Code choice is also influenced by other social factors like social distance, status relationship, and formality. The document then discusses concepts like diglossia, where two varieties of the same language are used depending on social context, and polyglossia, where three or more language varieties are present in a community. It also addresses how stable diglossia can be, with high varieties sometimes being displaced by low varieties over time. Finally, it covers the
Inter-language theory
The document defines inter-language as the language system produced by second and foreign language learners who are in the process of learning a new language. Inter-language develops based on rules from the learner's first language and the target language, and may not reflect features of either. The inter-language system changes over time as rules are altered, deleted, or added. Learners progress through stages from early approximations of the target language to later intermediate and final stages. Fossilization occurs when errors become impossible to correct despite ability and motivation.
Cultures
This document discusses several key concepts related to culture, including enculturation, acculturation, subcultures, cultural relativism, high and popular culture, diversity of culture, ethnocentrism, and xenocentrism. It defines each concept and provides examples. Enculturation is the process of adopting the behaviors of one's own culture, while acculturation involves adopting behaviors of other surrounding cultures. Subcultures are segments of a society that are distinguished by their style. Cultural relativism holds that cultures can only be understood within their own contexts. High culture refers to elite culture while popular culture is widespread. Diversity of culture creates variety in a society. Ethnocentrism views one's
Business communication c lu6
This document discusses intercultural communication in the workplace. It defines culture and explains that culture is learned from birth and membership in multiple cultures. Effective intercultural communication is important for globalization, international trade, and multicultural societies and workforces. Barriers to intercultural communication include ethnocentrism, language barriers, cultural stereotyping, and differing non-verbal codes between cultures. The document recommends creating cultural awareness, avoiding barriers, communicating sensitively, and listening to strengthen intercultural relationships.

Introduction to intercultural communication
Intercultural communication involves communication between people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Culture encompasses language, values, beliefs, behaviors, etiquette, and expectations, and helps form cultural identity. Intercultural communication is important for library and information services as it helps clients be understood and services delivered effectively through skills like listening, speaking clearly, observing body language, and having patience and flexibility across cultures to minimize misunderstandings. In today's multicultural world and workplaces, intercultural communication is key to building relationships, resolving potential problems from cultural ignorance, and improving teamwork and cooperation between diverse staff.

Language deth, language shift, marker, micro/macro sociolinguistics
This document discusses key topics in sociolinguistics including language shift, language death, markers, and micro/macrosociolinguistics. It provides definitions and examples of language shift, where a community gradually abandons its original language for another, often occurring over 3-4 generations through a stage of bilingualism. Language death is the end point of shift when a language has no remaining native speakers. Markers are linguistic variables that correlate with social groups and speech styles. Microsociolinguistics examines language in relation to society at a small scale while macrosociolinguistics looks at larger societal behaviors and impacts on language.
Presentation al
The document discusses various forms of discrimination related to language, including linguicism, native speakerism, and monolingualism. It provides examples of how some post-colonial countries insist on only teaching British or American English in schools, censoring local varieties of English. While English is gaining global prominence, other languages are still resisting its power and reconfiguring language relationships. The struggles between languages over power and status will continue indefinitely into the future.
Culture
This document defines culture and discusses its key characteristics and components. It begins by defining culture as the set of learned behaviors, beliefs, values and ideals characteristic of a society. Culture is reflected in various aspects of human life like language, science, cuisine, arts, social structures, and religion. Some key points made are:
- Culture exists in the minds of people and is learned from previous generations;
- It tends to persist over time but also changes gradually;
- There are material and non-material elements of culture;
- Culture is transmitted through enculturation and can be influenced by acculturation between groups;
- Individuals may experience culture shock when exposed to an unfamiliar culture.

1) Societies are divided into social classes that have differing levels of status and prestige, and language varies between classes with higher-status individuals using more prestigious language variants.
2) Determining social class can be complex but is often correlated with factors like occupation, income, education level, and neighborhood.
3) Individuals adjust their language style depending on the formality of the situation, using speech patterns associated with higher classes in more formal contexts.
4) Social mobility between classes has impacted the tight linkage between language and class over time, as exposure to different varieties increases with greater movement between groups
Summer1 b class 1
This class covers the theme of passing through readings, discussions, and assignments. Passing refers to assuming an identity different than one's own for various reasons such as gaining access to opportunities. Historically, it often referred to black people passing as white. However, the theme of passing also applies more broadly to people passing as different races, religions, genders, or sexual orientations. The class will examine passing through works exploring racial, gender, and other forms of identity crossing and deception. Requirements include papers, online posts, tests, and participating in discussions about assigned texts addressing issues of identity and passing.

4.BARRIERS OF COMMUNICATION.pptx
This document provides an overview of communication barriers and effective communication in an oral communication class. It discusses the following barriers in 3 sentences or less each:
Physical barriers can include defects in media, distractions, or disabilities. Cultural barriers arise from different cultural backgrounds, languages, behaviors, or religions between communicators. Organizational barriers involve status relationships, one-way communication flows, complex organizational structures, or too many management levels.
Ethnicity Representations in the Media
This document discusses the representation of ethnicity in media. It begins with dictionary definitions of ethnicity as relating to cultural identity based on shared traits like race, religion or language. It then discusses Alvarado's model of common stereotypes in media representation of ethnicity: exotic, dangerous, pitied, humorous, and recently added - sexualized. The document notes that representation has changed from earlier definitions by foreignness or comedy, but minorities tend to still be defined by their otherness. It cautions that stereotypes can be dangerous if they form people's only experience of other cultures. Specific examples discussed include the demonization of young black people in some media and focus on stereotypical aspects of cultures in representations of minorities.
CH 6: Adapting Our Speech
The document discusses diversity and improving communication across differences. It notes that people come from different backgrounds and experiences and effective communicators can adapt their messages. The goal is to identify differences that inhibit communication and find strategies to improve effectiveness. It then discusses understanding diversity in terms of gender, age, ethnicity and sexual orientation. It provides examples of how these groups can differ in communication styles and values. The document emphasizes understanding differences, avoiding stereotypes, and treating others with respect in order to improve intercultural communication.

LAMC104Lec6(1).ppt
This document discusses Dell Hymes' theory of communicative competence as an alternative to Noam Chomsky's theory of linguistic competence. Hymes believed communicative competence goes beyond grammar to include understanding how to appropriately use language in different social contexts and situations. The document also outlines Hymes' SPEAKING framework which examines the setting, participants, ends, act sequences, keys, instrumentalities, norms, and genres of a speech event to understand communicative competence. Finally, it discusses the importance of ethnography and fieldwork to understand how language is actually used within a community.
121ismhatewords2014
This document discusses four major forms of discrimination or "isms": sexism, racism, ageism, and heterosexism. It provides examples of how each ism manifests in society through questions individuals are encouraged to reflect on regarding their own experiences. Specific behaviors and attitudes associated with each ism are defined, such as negative stereotypes, prejudices, and inequitable treatment. The document also addresses abusive, hurtful, and stigmatizing language and how certain words can perpetuate discrimination or harm marginalized groups. Overall, the summary aims to raise awareness of social injustices and promote more inclusive, respectful treatment of all people.
Multiculturalism in the uk
The document discusses multiculturalism in the UK. It defines multiculturalism as describing a society where people of many different backgrounds live together.

It explores some of the advantages and disadvantages of multiculturalism and immigration.

Code-Switching
- 1. CODE-SWITCHING Bad Grammar Or Culture Unaccepted?
- 2. WHAT IS CODE-SWITCHING • Code switching is the mixing of words or phrases from two tongues together during the course of speech or writing • A ’code’ is defined as a language or a dialect • This usually occurs between people who share those particular languages
- 3. For African Americans, code- switching can be viewed as an oppressive result of white privilege pervading all social institutions
- 4. Even within the African American culture, code- switching is ridiculed; someone who code- switches is deemed as talking ‘White’ or told that ‘you must have went to college talking all fancy!’
- 5. FACTORS THAT LEAD TO CODE- SWITCHING • A lack of resources for schools in poor, African American neighborhoods • Teachers that more harshly discipline students of color for simply expressing themselves • People of color facing far more obstacles for career advancement and a growing racial wage gap • Lack of art (to include television and film) that showcase people of color in non-stereotypical settings • Whitewashing of religion • Election of a ‘nationalist’ president who seems comfortable with the divide that exists
- 6. Code-switching would not be needed if this were truly a post-racial society…but how do we get there?
