This book explores the ways in which linguistic variation and
complex social practices interact toward the formation of male
interactional identities in a sports club in Dublin, illustrating
the affordances of studying sporting contexts in contributing to
advancing sociolinguistic theory. Adopting a participant-informed
ethnographic approach, the book examines both the social
interactional contexts within the club and the sociopragmatic and
sociophonetic features which contribute to the different
performances of masculinity in and outside the club. The volume
focuses particularly on the linguistic analysis of humor and its
multifunctional uses as a means of establishing solidarity and
social ties but also aggression, competitiveness, and status within
the social world of this club as well as similar such clubs across
Ireland. The book's unique approach is intended to complement and
build on existing sociolinguistic studies looking at linguistic
variation in groups by supporting quantitative data with
ethnographically informed insights to look at social meaning in
interaction from micro-, meso-, and macro-levels. This book will be
of particular interesting to graduate students and scholars in
sociolinguistics, language, gender, and sexuality, and language and
identity.

This edited volume deals with some of the salient issues to be
considered when using the Common European Framework of Reference
for Languages (CEFR). There has been little critical and
constructive assessment of CEFR-informed pedagogical practices in
Japan and beyond. Instead, policy issues have been dominant. The
volume focuses on the implementation of the CEFR in language
education institutions, and stresses that the CEFR and its 'Can Do'
statements must be adapted and changed to suit the specific context
they serve. This work is complementary to English Profile Studies
volume 4 (North 2014), which provides examples of the
implementation of the CEFR, with a focus on misconceptions of the
CEFR and how these could be addressed, by offering in-depth case
studies. For a full description of processes it is necessary to
unfold the complexity of language policy and then gain focus by
concentrating mainly on the institutional levels.
