A short overview on Ethnography of communication. The slides briefly shed light on EOC as an approach to discourse analysis. There are few photos along with the material to help reads glean some insight into the subject.
The slides contain a short account of the relationship between discourse analysis and interactional sociolinguistics linguistics. They also provide a short account of different approaches to politeness. The influence of Gumperz and Goffman on politeness and facework is highlighted.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as âdistorted thinkingâ.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empireâs society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. ETHNOGRAPHY OF COMMUNICATION
ï The ethnography of communication is an approach
to discourse analysis that is based on anthropology and
linguistics. Ethnography of Speaking is also Known as
Ethnography of communication since it embraces
features of non-verbal communication too.
ï Hymes states that the Ethnography of speaking is
âConcerned not simply with language structure, but with
language use, with âârules of speaking âŠâŠthe ways in
which speakers associate particular modes of speaking,
topics, or message forms, with particular settings and
activities.â
Coulthard (1985, p 34)
3. ï The Goal Ethnography of communication:
Is to study the communicative competence of
a specific speech community by discovering and
analyzing patterns of communication that
organize the use of language in particular
communicative activities.
4. Communicative competence
Hymes Insists that scholars focus on
communicative competence, which not only
involves the knowledge of abstract linguistic
rules, but also the ability to use language in
concrete situations of everyday life, such as the
ability to check in at a hotel, argue pray or even
use silence appropriately.
Alba-Juez (2009)
5.
6. Four Aspects (Dimensions) Of Competence
Hymes identifies the Possible, the feasible, the appropriate
and the performed as four distinct aspects of communicative
competence:
1- What is formally possible in the language in terms of its
encoded grammatical and lexical properties.
2- Formal properties are actually processed in the mind, then we
shall naturally focus on feasibility.
3- A focus on appropriateness will bring context into
consideration.
4- How far a communicative language component is performed
or produced; the frequency of its occurrence.
(Widdowson, 2007)
7. Four interrelated dimensions in any description:
âways of speakingâ
1. The linguistic resources available to a speaker
how many different styles he can choose from.
2. Supra -sentential structuring â how many
differently structured linguistic events, like
trials, religious ceremonies, debates, songs, are
recognized.
8. 3. The rules of interpretation by which a given set
of linguistic items comes to have a given
communicative value
4. The norms which govern different types of
interaction
9. Ethnography of communication is a way of
analyzing discourse by using the same sort of methods
that anthropologists might use to study other aspects of a
culture, such as religious practices.
Speech situation: circumstances involving the use of
speech
Speech events: a group of speech acts or interactions
(Van Herk, 2012:117)
10. SPEECH EVENTS
ï Hymes describes speech events often coinciding with
what other researchers might term âgenresâ. Speech
events, for Hymes, are activities that are directly
governed by rules or norms for the use of speech.
Hymes gives stories, conversation, lectures and
formal introductions as examples of speech events.
ï Hymeâs view speech events should be treated as
analytically independently of one another, as one
speech event (for example, a sermon) may be invoked
in another speech event, or situation for a certain
effect.
12. SPEECH COMMUNITY
ï The notion of speech community is central to the
ethnography of communication. Coulthard (1985)
Any group which shares both linguistic resources
and rules for interaction and interpretation is
defined as a speech community.
ï Hymes argues that it is possible for speakers to
share formal linguistic features, phonology,
grammar, lexis, but still to be unable to interpret
accurately each other's messages.
Coulthard (1985)
13.
14. Labov in a discussion of aspects of language
use among adolescent New York negroes,
presents utterances like 'your momma's a peanut
man', or 'your mother's a duck', which are
superficially intelligible but whose real
significance as ritual insults is not available to
most English speakers.
(Coulthard, l985)
15. ï Speakers who apparently share the same language
may also have different 'norms as to greetings,
acceptable topics, what is said next in a
conversation', how speaking turns are distributed
and so on.
ï Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson suggest that for
American English there is a conversational rule that only
one speaker speak~ at a time, whereas Reisman observes
that in Antigua 'the start of a new voice is not in itself a
signal for the voice speaking to stop or to institute a
process which will decide who is to have the floorâ
Coulthard (1985)
16. A number of criteria for identifying a speech
Community
1. Shared language use.
2. Frequency of interaction by a group of people.
3. Shared rules of speaking and interpretation of speech
performance.
4. Shared attitudes and values regarding language forms
and use.
5.Shared socio-cultural understanding and
presuppositions with regard to speech.
17. HYMESâ SPEAKING GRIDS
ï Hymes uses the word SPEAKING as an acronym for the
various factors that he deems to be relevant.
18. HYMESâ SPEAKING GRID
The key elements [SPEAKING] are:
1- The Setting and Scene (S) of speech are important. Setting
(physical circumstances) refers to the time and place, e.g, Home,
classroom, etc...
2- The participant refers to the actors in the scene and their role
relationships, including personal characteristics, such as: age, sex,
social status, and relationships. The Participant includes various
combinations of speaker-hearer, addresser-addressee, or sender-
receiver. E.g., Mother-daughter teacher-pupil
19. HYMESâ SPEAKING GRID
3- Ends (purposes/goal/outcomes) refer to the
conventionally recognized and expected outcomes of an
exchange.
4- Act sequence (message form and content) refers to the
actual form and content of what is said: the precise words
used, how they are used and the relationship of what is
said to the actual topic at hand.
5- Key refers to the tone, manner, or spirit in which a
particular message is conveyed: light-hearted, serious,
mocking, sarcastic, etc.
20. HYMESâ SPEAKING GRID
6- Instrumentalities refer to the choice of particular channel, e.g.
oral, written, or telegraphic, and to the actual forms of speech
drawn from community repertoire, such as: the language,
dialect, code, or register that is chosen.
7- Norms of interaction and interpretation refer to the specific
behaviours and proprieties that attach to speaking and also to
how these may be viewed by someone who does not share them,
e.g. loudness, silence, gaze return, etc.
8- Genre (textual categories) refers to the clearly demarcated
types of utterance, such as: poems, proverbs, riddles, sermons,
prayers, lectures and editorials, the cultural category of talk (e.g.
insults, compliments, apologies). (Alba-Juez,2009)
21. ï Limiting criterion of a speech community is the sharing
of one linguistic variety.
Blom and Gumperz report an investigation in the
Norwegian village of Hemnesberget where all the
residents speak both the standard language, Bokmal,
and the local dialect Ranamal. Bokmal is the language
of formal education, official transactions, religion and
the mass media, but the local dialect still enjoys great
prestige, and by 'identifying himself as a dialect
speaker both at home and abroad, a member
symbolizes his pride in his community.
(Coulthard1985)
22. ï Blom and Gumperz were interested in the
factors which influenced the use of one rather
than the other.
ï They concluded that locals would typically use
local dialect except in situations 'defined with
respect to the superimposed national Norwegian
system'.
