  • Generative Grammar

    Open AccessEva Klingvall, Sari Manninen et al.CHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2023

    This entry offers an introduction to generative grammar, describing the key components of the framework and its historical development since its start in the 1950s. Generative grammar is concerned with language as a mental object, and it studies speakers' internal faculty of language: the ability to produce and understand an infinite number of linguistic expressions from a finite set of linguistic building blocks. At the core of this is the synta…

  • Masculinity and respect in flux

    Sari ManninenARTICLEGender and Education2013References: 8

  • Earn Yo' Respect! Respect in the Status Struggle of Finnish School Boys

    Open AccessSari Manninen, T Huuki et al.ARTICLEMen and Masculinities2011Cited by: 2References: 26

    What is respect among school boys and how can it be earned? Reaching across disciplines, this article contends that respect is a dimension of status in the context of masculinities in peer relations, as are peer likeability and power positions. Drawing on longitudinal interviews and observational material, the authors scrutinize violence, physicality, materiality, and performances, exploring how school boys use these resources strategically to ga…

  • Humour as a resource and strategy for boys to gain status in the field of informal school

    T Huuki, Sari Manninen et al.ARTICLEGender and Education2010Cited by: 21References: 14

    Through a feminist approach this paper illustrates how humour is used as a resource and strategy for status among Finnish school boys and in constructing culturally accepted masculinity in the field of informal school. Based on interview and observation material collected in three schools, the results suggest that although humour is often affiliative and positive in nature, exclusive, violent humour is also used as a resource and strategy, which …
