Reimagining Accents and Speech Recognition with Sociolinguistic Perception Studies and Research on Listening Subjects
Language and (Trans)nationalism
Language has always been entangled in vernacular-cosmopolitan visions. Transnational modes of transformation in the 21st century cannot, therefore, be understood without a close examination of changing ideals of linguistic legitimacy, their entanglement in politics of listening and embodied knowledges of the “listener.” A close examination of these developments enables us to see how language has been historically linked to modernity, rationality,…
The promise and resilience of multilingualism
This article aims to examine how sociopolitical changes impact language ideology and linguistic practices within transnational multilingual families with a particular focus on families with ties to Poland in post-EU-referendum Britain. Drawing on the survey and ethnographic interview data collected as part of the ESRC-funded Family Language Policy project between 2017 and 2019, we found that the public attitude towards Polish and Polish speakers …
Dobra polska mowa
This article examines the tension between multilingual reality of migrant life and monoglot standard ideology in Polish grassroots organisations in the UK. Drawing on linguistic ethnographic fieldwork from 2017 to 2019, we show that while flexible multilingual practices characterise the community's multilingual reality, a preference for monolingual standard Polish exists in community activities and online profiles. We argue that, through common o…
Scaling diasporic soundings in the globalised world
Sounding Out Difference
This article reports emerging polycentric ideological orientations among UK-educated middle-class Polish-speaking young adult migrants living and working in South-East England in 2013-2014. The analysis of phonetic-semiotic details in stance-taking acts in chronotopic representations of experience reveals a continuum of sociolinguistic authority in which despite a shared sociocultural background, sociolinguistic possibilities are differently conc…
Language, Mobility and Belonging
Intonation, identity and contact‐induced change among Polish‐speaking migrants in the U.K
This article examines intonational variation in a language contact situation. The study contributes to sociolinguistic research on the social meaning of intonational variation (Podesva ; Levon ). Intonation is studied in a multilingual context of global mobility: within a group of Polish‐speaking migrants in Britain who, thanks to cheap transportation and new channels of communication, could make use of linguistic resources unlimited by territori…
Language contact in the Polish-American community in Chicago
Heritage speakers are individuals who were raised in a home where a language other than the dominant language of a given society was spoken. Heritage speakers are to some extent bilingual in both the language of their home and the dominant language. Only recently have linguists started examining heritage languages, languages that have not been completely acquired. In this article, I focus on features of heritage Polish spoken by “advanced high” 1…
