Globalization, linguistic markets, and nuanced identity performances: Farsi-English code-switching in Iran
This paper explores the impact of globalization, and the consequent re-ordering of indexicalities associated with different languages and linguistic practices, on the sociolinguistic repertoires and behaviors of Farsi-English bilingual Iranians in Iran. I focus on the participants’ Farsi-English Code-switching (CS) practices and their positionings toward CS in naturally-occurring conversations to examine how they use CS in their differentiation p…

Adopting a chronotopic approach to the study of discourse, I analyze Iranian Twitter users' social positionings towards the 'hekasreh' phenomenon. I show how tweeters invoke different spatiotemporal configurations, and the normative behaviors associated with them, to argue for and/or a…
