"Language and Sexuality" explores the question of how linguistic
practices and ideologies relate to sexuality and sexual identity,
opening with a discussion of the emerging field of "queer
linguistics" and moving from theory into practice with case studies
of language use in a wide variety of cultural settings. The
resulting volume combines the perspectives of the field's top
scholars with exciting new research to present new ideas on the
ways in which language use intersects with sexual identity.
The 'third wave' of variation study, spearheaded by the
sociolinguist Penelope Eckert, places its focus on social meaning,
or the inferences that can be drawn about speakers based on how
they talk. While social meaning has always been a concern of modern
sociolinguistics, its aims and assumptions have not been explicitly
spelled out until now. This pioneering book provides a
comprehensive overview of the central tenets of variation study,
examining several components of dialects, and considering language
use in a wide variety of cultural and linguistic contexts. Each
chapter, written by a leader in the field, posits a unique
theoretical claim about social meaning and presents new empirical
data to shed light on the topic at hand. The volume makes a case
for why attending to social meaning is vital to the study of
variation while also providing a foundation from which
variationists can productively engage with social meaning.
A comprehensive guide to conducting research projects in
linguistics, this book provides a complete training in
state-of-the-art data collection, processing, and analysis
techniques. The book follows the structure of a research project,
guiding the reader through the steps involved in collecting and
processing data, and providing a solid foundation for linguistic
analysis. All major research methods are covered, each by a leading
expert. Rather than focusing on narrow specializations, the text
fosters interdisciplinarity, with many chapters focusing on shared
methods such as sampling, experimental design, transcription and
constructing an argument. Highly practical, the book offers helpful
tips on how and where to get started, depending on the nature of
the research question. The only book that covers the full range of
methods used across the field, this student-friendly text is also a
helpful reference source for the more experienced researcher and
current practitioner.
