Naming, Re-Naming and Self-Naming Among Hmong-Americans
Hmong-Americans in Wisconsin use the semantic resources of the Hmong language and social semantic connotations of the naming system to create meaning in personal names. Name changes can be made for functional reasons: a name change can be done to protect the individual against ghosts, spirits or illness. Name changes can also mark life status changes: women gain a new name when they marry, while men are re-named by their parents-in-law, usually a…

Joel Walters, Bilingualism: The sociopragmatic-psycholinguistic interface. Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum, 2005. Pp. xi, 323. Pb. $37.50.In the Preface to this volume, Joel Walters explains why we need “yet another model of bilingual processing” (p. viii): The field of bilingualism is divided between researchers focused on the social situating and functions of bilingualism and those concerned with mental structures of bilingualism. Yet bilingual sp…
How to get rid of unwanted suitors: Advice from Hmong-American women of two generations
This paper analyzes the recommendations made by Hmong immigrant women and Hmong-American women for responses to a face-threatening scenario, in which a woman is invited to play a courting game with a man in whom she has no interest. While the older women recommend direct statements and unmitigated directives to discourage the suitor, the younger women recommend excuses and attempts to postpone. Thus the younger women appear to recommend more poli…
Solicitudes in American English
Using a corpus of about 300 ethnographically collected tokens, this article discusses the form and function of the speech act ‘solicitude’, the act of speaking aloud a wish for something good for the addressee, in American English. Non‐conventionalized solicitudes are extremely formulaic, making overwhelming use of imperative form, although without clear directive force. The single most common formula is the (you) have a + Adj + NP formula, as in…

Monolingual children in a bilingual situation: Protest, accommodation, and linguistic creativity
The homestay is a common second-language learning situation: non-native speakers live with families of native speakers in hopes of improving knowledge of both language and culture. This paper explores language use in a homestay in which host family members know or are learning the language of the visitor. Accommodation in language choice (Giles et al. 1973; Giles et al. 1991) is one issue in this situation: we explore the extent to which guest an…

Codeswitching, convergence and compliance: The development of micro‐community speech norms
In conversations between bilinguals, each of whom is a learner of the other's language, two different local patterns of code‐switching may emerge. In the pattern of mutual convergence or complementary schismogenesis, each speaker attempts to speak the interlocutor's native language. Conversations characterised by this pattern reveal that the interlocutors are having difficulty agreeing on a shared norm for conversational code choice. On the other…
