Folklinguistics and Social Meaning in Australian English presents
an original study of Australian English and, via this, insights
into Australian society. Utilising folklinguistic accounts, it
uncovers everyday understandings of contemporary Australian English
through variations across linguistic systems (sounds, words,
discourse and grammar). Focusing on one variation at time, it
explores young speakers' language use and their evaluations of the
same forms. The analysis of talk about talk uncovers ethnic,
regional and social Others in social types and prevailing
ideologies around Australian English essential for understanding
Australian identity-making processes, as well as providing insights
and methods relevant beyond this context. These discussions
demonstrate that while the linguistic variations may occur in other
varieties of English, they are understood through local
conceptualisations, and often as uniquely Australian. This book
harnesses the value and richness of discourse in explorations of
the sociocultural life of language. The findings show that analysis
attending to language ideologies and identities can help discover
the micro-macro links needed in understanding social meanings. The
volume explores a wide range of language features but also provides
a deep contemplation of Australian English.
