Varying orientations to sharing life stories
Language change across the lifespan is relatively underexplored in sociolinguistics. While studies of individuals' language across life stages are often considered to complement large scale studies of community-level language change, this study aims to explore how changes to family environment and social mobility interact with individual speakers' stylistic practice across life stages. It examines ethnographic interviews of five women, originally…
Japanese Women's Speech through Life-Transitions (1989-2000)
This study analyses four women's speech from Kobe who were interviewed by the same researcher in 1989 and in 2000. We focused on highly indexical pragmatic youth language features (discourse markers and end-rising intonation) to understand about societal pressures that young women in Japan face when transitioning into adulthood. The analysis reveals a complex picture; some women use them more as time goes by, while others use them less. The vast …

School culture
The term 'school culture' can conjure memories of one's own schooling, imbued with fond nostalgia for some and quite the opposite for others. One is likely to recall a different culture at preschool, primary school, secondary school and tertiary institutions. A person who happened to move to another school mid-way through an academic year, may recall initial feelings of excitement or anxiety about facing a new school culture. Furthermore, people …

Third-Generation Koreans' Entry into the Workforce in Japan
A case study of third-generation Korean high schoolers in Japan reveals how they perceive employment market realities and decide upon and obtain employment. Sharing a collective perception of the labor market, these students exhibit intragroup variation in their destination preferences and the strategies taken. This article uncovers how the school intervenes in students' decision making and points to the potential for school intervention in linki…
Habitus and intraclass differentiation

Examining microlevel schooling processes over one year, it is argued that one differentiation mechanism is the individual's varying perceptions and consequent uses of school‐based resources that, in principle, are available to all within the school but, in reality, are not fu…

Rational Decision Making and School-based Job Referrals for High School Students in Japan
Drawing on a yearlong participant observation of students in two vocationally oriented high schools in Japan, this article explains how the formalized school-based job-referral system (JRS) affects a student's decision making by reinforcing or undermining his or her predisposition to chose a particular option. Under the JRS, each school provides job openings to students, almost all of whom obtain jobs through the JRS. The JRS simultaneously restr…
