Interview with Adam Jaworski
Adam Jaworski's contributions to sociolinguistics are wide‐ranging and enduring. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he has shown how language, power and identity intersect in public and institutional contexts, most notably through his influential work on silence, tourism and semiotic landscapes. In this interview, Jaworski reflects on the state of sociolinguistics in the 1990s, his role in the founding of this journal and his cosmopol…
Horizontal Multilingualism
In this interview, Shobha Satyanath, one of India's premier sociolinguists, reflects on her career working on language variation and change in India and Guyana. The interview starts with a definition of what sociolinguistics is, namely, a social theory of language, and then continues to trace the development of Indian sociolinguistics. Satyanath also shares insights into the ideas behind the conference New Ways of Analyzing Variation Asia-Pacific…
Choreographies of Multilingualism
The linguistic landscape of Lamma Island
Lamma Island, while only a short 30-minute ferry ride from the intensely metropolitan centre of Hong Kong Island, the ‘most vertical city’ in the world, represents a rural diametric as an ‘outlying island’: lightly populated with both a long-standing local population and a transient ‘expatriate’ population. We argue that the main village Yung Shue Wan represents a ‘border nexus’ between the urban and the rural. This becomes evident through our au…
Institutionality
The Enregisterment of Esh in Global Beatboxing Culture
Esh is an emblematic word and sound in global beatboxing culture. It may have developed from the vocal mimicry of a sound of a snare drum or it may have derived from multicultural youth slang in France. What is clear is that esh is now widely recognized and used as a lexicalized sound to humorously index cultural identity alignments, for example taking a stance of affirmative evaluation, greeting and identifying other beatboxers. We show in this …
Commentary
Understanding how people resist European colonial modernity by collaboratively constructing southern epistemological positionalities is crucial for plotting plans about what applied linguists can do to promote social justice in the third decade of the 21st century. Epistemological positionalities describe how speakers metapragmatically theorize the knowledge they make or do not make relevant in communication. From the articles collected in this v…
Scaling practices in language encounters
Overstandin
Overstandin occurs when languagers upscale their reading positions to rescale the meanings of texts or signs according to their own intentions. While understanding is an important faculty for languagers and a central analytical category for applied linguistics research, it cannot fully grasp agency and creativity in complex languaging in postcolonial worlds. By focusing on processes of overstandin, this article shows how languagers assume an upsc…
The Globally Familiar
The Globally Familiar takes us into the worlds of young, male, migrant hip hop practitioners in Delhi, India. As we follow these young men into their b-boy ciphas, their makeshift recording studios
Language, gender and sexuality in 2020
The Global South is a postcolonial imagined community that bears the potential to imagine powerful south-south solidarity between the struggles for decoloniality of diverse populations across the world. To prepare our field’s pan-global future, this year-in-review overrepresents literature on gender, sexuality and language from/on the Global South. This decolonial move aims to notice and promote southern tactics of resistance, southern epistemolo…
Loudness registers
An analysis of one narrative shows how loudness of voice acquires indexical meaning in interaction and becomes a resource for the narrator to position himself along an axis of social differentiation defined in terms of morality. The narrative was collected among young, male, migrant hip hop artists in Delhi who experienced ethnic othering. In the narrative, loudness registers are used to establish voice contrasts between two antagonistic characte…
Negotiating sustainability across scales
This paper represents voices of community organizers on Barra, a small island in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Although, arguably Barra is geographically and socio-politically located in the peripheries of Scotland, Britain and Europe, the island has been a center of North Atlantic maritime trade networks for centuries. In the current phase of Europeanization and devolution of powers within the United Kingdom, the community finds itself in the po…
Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis
How Many of Us Remember 1984?’
For some Sikh rappers and their audiences, the utopian concept of Khalistan serves as an ideological grid, in which specific masculine and militant logics become meaningful and acceptable. In diasporic settings, such as in the UK, memories of ancestral cultures serve as mythical resources for constructing coherent narratives vis-à-vis metaphorical discourses of contemporary youth cultures. This article investigates the ways in which such narrativ…
