Does this dick make my rights look bigger?”
Fat girl on TV
This paper examines discursive embodiment on the reality television show My Big Fat Fabulous Life. I ask how the tension between fat and fabulous is reconciled on the show, as two seemingly incongruous concepts in contemporary society, particularly within the genre of reality television, which is well known for makeovers, bodily transformations and other life interventions that compel disciplinary practices of neoliberal self-governmentality. Usi…
You probably have a parasite
In this article, I ask how the body is discursively constructed within the wellness industry. I analyze a corpus of articles from the Goop franchise, examining how bodies are constructed, and how subjects are impelled to act within contemporary neoliberal risk culture. Corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis reveals that the body is ultimately constructed as unwell and at risk, by virtue of its presence in the environment. Faced with this ine…
The social meaning of abortion and the perils of a neoliberal rights-based discourse
In 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and thus ended the legal protection of access to abortion at the federal level. Using techniques of corpus linguistics paired with critical discourse analysis, this article examines how the word abortion is used in a corpus of newspaper reports covering the decision. The analysis uncovers a staunch position of the right to abortion as an abstracted notion, alongside a simultaneous le…
Raucous feminisms in neoliberal times
There is no shortage of media representations that reinforce the neoliberal order, emphasise individual freedom and self-regulation and downplay structural inequities and systemic oppression. The current paper analyses an alternative representation that works to dismantle the dominant social order. I interrogate the disruptive potential of the ‘unruly woman’ on Broad City by exploring two discursive themes that present robust alternatives to a ne…
Accessing Counseling Services Where the Rainbow Doesn't Shine
Through a field experiment set among licensed therapists (N = 425), we found nuanced evidence of heterosexist discrimination at the entry point of mental health services for a fictitious White, presumably gay man seeking counseling. We called therapists in LGB-affirming and LGB-hostile states and left voicemails requesting services. To manipulate perceived sexual orientation, a confederate using the name "Jon" recorded one of three conditions (a)…

Stylistic variation in /r
Contemporary sociolinguistic scholarship has made great gains in uncovering how speakers actively project identities through the manipulation of linguistic forms. This paper adds to that body of work, investigating stylistic variation among a group of women on the reality show Say Yes to the Dress in New York City. I focus on the interactional shifts of these women, who move between two personas as bridal consultants: bridal gown expert and frien…
She don’t need no help’
New Orleans bounce music is a dance-oriented hip-hop form that has emerged as a notably non-normative genre, in which queer Black bounce artists destabilise binary cultural paradigms and emphasise queerness as inclusive and relational. We explore how five artists' lyrics and public personae actively refute the consolidated, naturalised nexus of gender, sex, and sexuality by disentangling each of the three strands from one another. In order to exp…
Subjects and objects
An ongoing debate is the extent to which women’s explicit sexuality transgresses or reinforces the patriarchal status quo that serves to objectify and marginalize women. In this article, I consider this issue through the lens of hip hop. Specifically, I examine the sexually-explicit lyrics of two female rappers, Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliot, in an attempt to explore questions about sexual objectivity and subjectivity, language and agency, and lingui…
First things first, I'm the realest
The 'hip-hop nation' is a multiethnic, transnational community that originates from and privileges urban African American experiences. Scholars have explored ways that non-African Americans worldwide use linguistic features of African American English (AAE) as a way of constructing hip-hop affiliated identities. The current paper ties these strands together in a study of the linguistic patterns of white Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, who makes us…

The Sociolinguistics of Ethnicity in Pittsburgh
Recently, there has been a growing interest in regional variation within African American English. This study reviews a work done on local speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, discussing trends for both African American and White ethnic groups. Just as scholars have found in other geographic regions, in Pittsburgh, African Americans and Whites share a number of feature characteristics of the local dialect, but remain distinct in a number of other …

The Low-Back Merger in the Steel City
This article investigates the status of the low-back vowels in African American English in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the vowels have been merged since at least the late 1800s. The low-back merger is currently spreading across much of the United States, but to date, its incidence in African American speech has been found to be limited. This article draws from a sample of 34 African Americans native to Pittsburgh. Using data from a word list …
