Fearful, forceful agents of the law
Sociolinguists and linguistic anthropologists have been far more likely to use ideology to understand the social relations of nation, racialized ethnicity and class than to understand the social relations of gender. This chapter investigates language ideologies and gender by examining narratives told by male and female, Black and White police officers in Pittsburgh about moments when they found it necessary to use physical force. Many of the work…
How does water talk, and other hopeful questions about and beyond gender and language
The inaugural issue of Gender and Language focused on unanswered questions and unquestioned assumptions. This essay revisits these questions, thinking about next steps not only for the field, but also for the larger feminist, anti-racist, anticolonial world our work aims to build. In particular, I consider two questions with impacts for thinking about how to deepen the political impact of our own work, in the realms of social and environmental ju…

Neoliberalism, language, and migration
"Neoliberalism" is used in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics both too little and at moments too extensively. This chapter begins with an overview of the history of the rise of neoliberal thought, various theories of neoliberalism, and the unevenness of neoliberalism in various contexts. It considers what is distinctive about linguistic issues in the context of migration in the current moment, drawing on two detailed case studies of neolibe…
Language, Capitalism, Colonialism
"Providing an original approach to the study of language by linking it to the political and economic contexts of colonialism and capitalism, Heller and McElhinny reinterpret sociolinguistics for a twenty-first century audience. The authors map out a critical history of how language serves as a terrain for producing and reproducing social inequalities. The book, organized chronologically, and beginning in the period of colonial expansion in the si…

How to get published in the Journal of Sociolinguistics
A Heartfelt Approach
Scholars analyzing neoliberalism have a two-pronged challenge, since "neoliberalism" is both too little, and at moments too extensively, used in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics (see also Allan and McElhinny, n.d.). This article considers what the contributions to this special issue contribute towards the study of neoliberalism with a focus on emotional pedagogies, as it considers where and how the articles also show contestations of and …
Theorizing Gender in Sociolinguistics and Linguistic Anthropology
Filipinos in Canada
Looking at these from the vantage points of anthropology, cultural studies, education, geography, history, information science, literature, political science, sociology, and women and gender studies, Filipinos in Canada provides a strong foundation for future work in this area
The Audacity of Affect
This review considers research on language and affect, with particular attention to gender, that has appeared in the past two decades in ways informed by the recent effloresence of work on affect in feminist, queer, (post)colonial, and critical race studies. The review is selective: It focuses on a few key ways that recent research is responding to gaps identified in earlier research and opening up promising areas for future research. This review…

Launching studies of Gender and Language in the early 21st Century
In this paper, we briefly consider the history of studies of gender and language, and the institutionalization of these studies. We review debates about whether or not a new journal is necessary, as part of a larger discussion of what the establishment of a journal does for a field of study. We review statistics looking at publication rates of articles on language and gender in 5 key sociolinguistic journals, and argue that these statistics, as w…
Prétextes de l'empire américain aux Philippines
Certains ethnohistoriens ont récemment suggéré que leur tâche n'est pas tant de faire émerger la cohérence que de démontrer comment les hiérarchies de crédibilité sont créées et requièrent une théorie d'inscriptions. Dans cet article, je propose que de récents travaux d'anthropologie linguistique sur l'entextualisation et la recontextualisation offrent des outils cruciaux pour cette entreprise historique. En particulier, je m'attarde aux façons d…
Written in Sand
Scholars have recently argued that one of the more urgent tasks for environmentalists is to understand how space is discursively produced. This paper is thus a genealogical, as well as a discourse analytic, account of consideration of how a landscape 'emerges into history' through the medium of discourse. This paper analyzes the discourse of an environmental dispute over the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM), a glacial landscape in southern Ontario. I con…
Kissing a Baby Is Not at All Good for Him
Feminist scholars have begun to consider the ways indigenous practices of child rearing were and are challenged in (post)colonial discourse and practice, and how these practices have become a terrain on which definitions of nation, state, and economy are contested. In this article, I adopt a historical anthropological approach to consider how Filipino child‐rearing strategies were described and stigmatized in educational, public health, and publi…

Theorizing Gender in Sociolinguistics and Linguistic Anthropology
This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Gender as Activity and Relation The Gender of Institutions When Gender is Relevant Conclusion Notes References
Gender, publication and citation in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology
Feminist scholars have begun to ask how existing conceptual schemes and organizational structures in academic disciplines have excluded women and feminist ideas, and to provide suggestions for transformation. One strand of this work has been the exploration of how canons of thought are constructed in such fields as economics, sociology, and sociocultural anthropology. This article begins such an investigation for sociolinguistics and linguistic a…

See No Evil, Speak No Evil
This article analyzes three discursive strategies which White police officers use to talk about affirmative action. In different ways, these strategies allow officers to claim to see no racial difference or inequity. In one instance, however, a White officer did remark upon her own Whiteness in terms of cultural difference. I consider the implications of this fact for recent debates in anthropology about the relationship of culture and ideology, …
More on the Third Dialect of English
Traditional dialect boundaries in the United States have received renewed attention (Labov, 1991, 1994). Labov outlined three dialects of English (the Northern Cities Chain Shift, the Southern Chain Shift, and the Third Dialect), the boundaries of which are defined by chain shifts in the vowel system and roughly correspond to traditional dialectal boundaries defined through the bundling of lexical items (Kurath, 1949) and phonological isoglosses …
Cooperative culture
Too often, cooperative behavior amongst women has been treated as an ascribed, rather than an achieved, interactional attribute. This paper discusses how women with different personalities, political and cultural backgrounds accomplish cooperation. An analysis of discussions that took place amongst a group of women who were trying to organize themselves into a worker cooperative suggests that interactional guidelines for co-ops derived from the e…

Copula and Auxiliary Contraction in the Speech of White Americans
