  • Language Learning Trajectories

    Open AccessJanice Carruthers, Leanne HendersonARTICLEJournal of Language Identity &…2025References: 1

    A substantial body of research explores young people’s participation in second language learning and identifies factors contributing to pupils’ choices about continuation. Research on the complex interplay of these factors is much rarer. This paper uses logistic regression to explore the relative importance of experiential, attitudinal, and socio-demographic factors in General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) language learning trajectori…

  • Qualifications in home languages

    Open AccessEmma Humphries, Janice Carruthers et al.ARTICLEJournal of Multilingual and…2025References: 27

    There is a recognised need for stronger language skills in the United Kingdom which could be partly addressed by valuing and harnessing the home language skills of its population. One way in which these skills could be supported is through formal accreditation, an opportunity which is not consistently being offered to pupils who speak a language at home which differs from the classroom language. This article draws on data from focus groups with m…

    This study builds on the ExpressioNarration project (2016–2018) which explores the relationship between temporality and orality in Occitan and French oral narration. After outlining the rationale for the OcOr corpus and the theoretical frameworks underpinning our analysis, the first part of this study points up the complexity of the intersection between diamesic, diatopic and diachronic factors in accounting for the distribution of alavetz , alar…

  • Méthodologie pour la constitution d’un corpus comparatif de narration orale en Occitan

    Janice Carruthers, Marianne Vergez-CouretARTICLECorpus2018

    Dans cet article, nous présentons et discutons de notre méthodologie pour la constitution d’un « petit corpus » comparatif de narration orale en occitan. Il s’agit d’un « petit corpus » nouveau et unique, dans une langue minorisée, ce qui soulève un certain nombre de défis particuliers : la complexité des rapports entre l’écrit et l’oral dans la pratique du conte d’une part, et d’autre part, de nombreuses difficultés méthodologiques (variations d…

  • Temporal Framing in the Conte

    Janice CarruthersARTICLEFrench Studies2011

    This article explores 'temporal framing' in the oral conte . The starting point is a recent theoretical debate around the temporal structure of narrative discourse which has highlighted a fundamental tension between the approaches of two of the most influential current theoretical models, one of which is 'framing theory'. The specific issue concerns the role of temporal adverbials appearing at the head of the clause (e.g. dates, relative temporal…

  • Tense, Orality and Narration

    Jane Carruthers, Janice CarruthersARTICLEFrench Studies2003Cited by: 1

    The relationship between tense and orality has been of major interest to linguists working on tense, aspect and discourse in a number of languages, and illuminating, if highly controversial, parallels have been drawn between the patterns found in various different types of oral narration. In the case of French, much research has been done on conversational narration, and connections have been made between contemporary temporal patterning (notably…
