Gender Penalty? Linguistic Discrimination and Perceptions of Female Football Commentators
This experimental sociolinguistic study investigates implicit attitudes relating to female football commentators. Several high-profile sports-media figures have claimed that women's voices are “too high-pitched” for commentary on men's football, a domain in which traditional, heteronormative gender relations remain especially dominant. With this critique in mind, we conducted a social perception experiment using voices artificially manipulated fo…
The discursive construction of gender and agency in the linguistic landscape of Ireland’s 2018 abortion referendum campaign
In a 2018 referendum, the Irish electorate voted in favour of repealing Ireland's quasi-total legal ban on abortion. The referendum campaign saw important public discussions regarding gender roles in twenty-first century Ireland. While the constitutional ban on abortion was condemned by abortion rights advocates for marginalising women's agency, the legislation which replaced it has not escaped criticism either. Therefore, questions surrounding t…
Irish English and national identity in the linguistic landscape of Ireland's 2018 abortion referendum
Ireland's 2018 referendum on the Eighth Amendment, in which a majority of the Irish electorate voted to repeal the state's quasi-total ban on abortion, saw important public discussions regarding Irish national identity in the twenty-first century. From a linguistic perspective, this begs the question of what role language played in the construction of national identity during the referendum campaign. This paper will examine Irish English features…
Ní Saoirse go Saoirse na mBan
In a 2018 referendum, the Irish public voted to lift the Irish state's near-total constitutional ban on abortion, bucking a recent global trend towards restrictions on reproductive rights. While abortion rights have long been a major concern of Irish feminists, appeals to national identity have often been viewed with suspicion by the women's rights movement in Ireland due to the historic role of national identity construction in perpetuating gend…
The intersection of nation and gender in the Linguistic Landscape of Ireland’s Eighth Amendment referendum campaign
In May 2018, voters in the Republic of Ireland passed a referendum proposal to repeal the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, lifting the Irish state’s near-total ban on abortion. Scholars have argued that Ireland’s abortion ban has historically played a key role in the construction of Irish national identity along Catholic, traditional, and heteronormative lines, meaning the lead-up to the vote allowed for key insights into the discursive cons…
Covid-19 and public responsibility
This paper offers an analysis of a British government publicity campaign during the third national lockdown, which began in England in January 2021. When it came to enforcing lockdown rules, the government’s messaging in the Linguistic Landscape (LL) and elsewhere focused on individualising responsibility for the pandemic. This framing favoured the political interests of the government by apportioning blame for the highest death toll in Europe to…
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá, get the brits out, lad
While the Irish language has long been closely tied to Irish national identity and political nationalism, it has also been strongly associated with the perceived rural, traditional lifestyle of those regions where it remains the everyday community language. These associations have been disrupted with the emergence of Kneecap, bilingual (Irish/English) rappers from West Belfast whose lyrics and visual imagery contain sexual innuendo, references to…
Creating Vignettes of Early Onset Dementia
Drawing on core principles of public sociology, this article discusses the creation of four theatrical vignettes about living with early onset dementia (symptoms of dementia pre-65). The vignettes were developed through an Image Theatre workshop, involving families living with early onset dementia. They were designed to capture key themes, issues and experiences that emerged from the group's collective experience. While the content of the vignett…
