Episode 5: Kill Your Peas and Other Stories from Alien Worlds
0s · Published
Last week I said I hated social structure? I need an attitude adjustment. When is thinking about social structure fun for me? When we’re imagining new ones: flower worlds, sock worlds, bubble words, underground worlds, for instance. I discuss the work of two sociolinguists, Penelope Eckert and Mary Bucholtz, who did ethnographic work in the … Continue reading Episode 5: Kill Your Peas and Other Stories from Alien Worlds
Episode 4: I’m Like, Social Structure Really Pisses Me Off!
0s · Published
Linguistic description gets messy. The scientific description of language starts from the idea that no one variety is intrinsically better than any other variety, then why do linguists always only use the Standard to describe other varieties? Well, not every linguist. In her book, Talking that Talk, Geneva Smitherman upsets the apple cart by using … Continue reading Episode 4: I’m Like, Social Structure Really Pisses Me Off!

A disgruntled feeling when you see a misplaced apostrophe? My love of grammar has never been about recognising ‘errors’ in speech or writing. For me it’s … Continue reading Episode 3: ‘Objective’, ‘Descriptive’ and Other Broken Promises in Linguistics

Episode 2: Chutes and Ladders, or I Am Being So American
0s · Published
In this episode I talk about the experience of internalising a judgmental, hierarchical social structure. In my case it was like living by the rules of Chutes and Ladders (Snakes and Ladders). Some arbitrary set of characteristics is graded on a scale of 1 to 100 and you find yourself landed on one of the … Continue reading Episode 2: Chutes and Ladders, or I Am Being So American
