Current Approaches to Language Ideology and Metalinguistic Discourse
This collection brings together research on cutting-edge developments at the intersection of language ideology and metalinguistic discourse, showcasing the potential of diverse approaches. With interest in language ideology and metalinguistic discourse growing, numerous qualitative and quantitative approaches have been established but have often resulted in a siloing of methods. Despite methodological advances, research on language ideology and metalinguistic discourse often relies on either qualitative methods (e.g., ethnography, content analysis) or traditional corpus linguistic techniques (e.g., concordance, collocation), with limited overlap between these “camps,” a division which has hindered a comprehensive understanding of the field. The book makes the case for bridging this gap by exploring the overlap between different approaches, demonstrating the nuanced insights a mixed methods perspective can provide. Featuring a wide range of applications across domains such as education, policy, minorities, traditional and social media, popular culture, and literature, the volume highlights the potential of integrating diverse methods. An afterword by Tommaso Milani ties these strands together, offering a forward-looking view of the field and potential directions for further research. This book will appeal to students and scholars in applied linguistics, language and education, and sociolinguistics.
Modeling Metalinguistic Discourses and Language Ideologies
This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of corpus linguistic approaches to the study of metalinguistic discourses and language ideologies. The book traces the historical trajectories of research on language ideology and metalinguistic discourse, respectively, as a foundation for exploring both the opportunities and challenges of classic corpus linguistic approaches as applied to data sets from comparative South Slavic and English case studies. This analysis paves the way for exploring methodological innovations afforded by multivariate approaches, such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, and topic modelling by applying it to the same data sets. The book concludes by reflecting on challenges and lessons learned toward outlining future directions for the further development of research at the intersection of metalinguistic discourses and language ideologies. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.
Language Ideologies and Media Discourse
The study of language ideologies has become a key theme in sociolinguistics over the past decade. It is the study of the relationship between representations of language, on the one hand, and broader aesthetic, economic, moral and political concerns, on the other. Research into the particular role played by media discourse in the construction, reproduction and contestation of such ideologies has been widely scattered - this book brings together this emerging field. It considers how, in an era of global communication technologies, the media - by which we understand the press, radio, television, cinema, the internet and multimodal gaming - help to disseminate preferred uses of, and ideas about, language. The book is tightly focussed on the relationship between language ideologies and media discourse, together with the methods and techniques required for the analysis of that relationship. It also places emphasis on television and new-media texts, incorporating and expanding upon recent theoretical insights into visual communication and multimodal discourse analysis. International in scope, this book will also be of interest to students from a wide range of fields including linguistics (particularly sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology), modern languages, education, media studies, communication studies and cultural theory.
