Australian applied linguistics: Its distinctive contribution from an international perspective
As a general feature, applied linguistics work in Australia has been characterized by a strong focus on multilingualism. This focus reflects the way the discipline was formed in Australia, growing out of an intersection of in multilingualism, language policy, and language education, which has given work in Australia a different profile from applied linguistics in many other places in the world, where English and foreign language teaching was the …

Language practices in Malay-Chinese families in Singapore
Studies on language shift in Singapore have focused on the language use within ethnic communities. However, despite increasing numbers of interethnic marriages, very few studies have explored the effect of such marriages on LS. This article explores the language practices within Malay-Chinese mixed marriages and examines how language policies in these marriages and families are negotiated. Through the analysis of surveys and interviews with 16 Ma…
Language Maintenance and Shift
What motivates some linguistic minorities to maintain their language? Why do others shift away from it rather quickly? Are there specific conditions - environmental or personal - influencing these dynamics? What can families and communities do to pass on their 'threatened' language to the next generation? These and related questions are investigated in detail in Language Maintenance and Shift. In this fascinating book, Anne Pauwels analyses the p…
The teaching of languages at university in the context of super-diversity
In this paper, I explore the impact of linguistic super-diversity on the teaching of languages at tertiary level. Through a small-scale study of university-based language teachers in Australia and the United Kingdom, I examine to what extent these teachers have become aware of the changed language profiles that their students are bringing to the classroom and how they have accommodated their teaching approaches to reflect these changes. The resul…

Planning for a global lingua franca: Challenges for feminist language planning in English(es) around the world
In this paper I outline the challenges for feminist language planning in the context of a global lingua franca – English. Drawing upon the views of speakers of ‘World Englishes’ I discuss their reactions as well as reported practices in relation to gender-inclusive language use. This reveals the complexities of managing the tension between the ‘universal’ goals of feminism(s) and the myriad of local and cultural differences affecting in the socia…

The Politics of Naming Reform in the Gendered Spheres of Home and Work
Naming has been a central focus of feminist language planning. The initial emphasiswas on reforming naming practices for women in public spheres (work, education,media). More recently public discourses about work/life balance have drawn togetherthe public and private, shaping the naming practices for women and men in thesedomains. This paper explores the dynamics and politics of naming in the intersectinggendered spheres of work and home. Our foc…
Trajectories of Agency’ and Discursive Identities in Education: A Critical Site in Feminist Language Planning
Viewing education as a complex site for endorsing and contesting knowledges and practices we explore its critical roles in feminist language planning. Many types of language planning have relied heavily on education for the implementation and spread of the particular reform agenda largely reliant on discourses of compulsory obligation (e.g. spelling reforms). The scenario of feminist language planning reveals that education is not a mere external…
Men staying at home looking after their children: Feminist linguistic reform and social change
The (mis)representation and stereotyping of gendered identities remain central concerns for applied linguistics and feminist linguistic reformers despite the history, since the 1970s, of promoting gender‐fair or gender‐inclusive language reform. To date, the primary focus has been the reform of linguistic discrimination against women. Here we examine the ‘naming’ of men who have entered the ‘occupation’– primary childcare provision – traditionall…
Language maintenance in friendships: Second-generation German, Greek, and Vietnamese migrants
Our contribution explores the language maintenance (LM) patterns of children of migrants (second-generation) to Australia from three ethnolinguistic groups — German, Greek, and Vietnamese — in their same-age peer friendships. Focusing on the affective social relationship of “friendship” imagined as a dynamic fluid site of independence and a locale for identity formation, we scrutinize it as a pressure point for LM. The macro survey trends indicat…
Maintaining the Community Language in Australia: Challenges and Roles for Families
Much Australian work on immigrant languages has revealed that the family is a crucial site of language maintenance (LM). The family remains for most immigrants and their offspring the main domain for community language (CL) use. At the same time, there is no doubt that positive language, education and migration policies strengthen the maintenance of CL in Australia as described in Fishman's (1991) model of LM, Reversing Language Shift. However, a…
Gender in the Construction and Transmission of Ethnolinguistic Identities and Language Maintenance in Immigrant Australia
The relevance and impact of gender and/or sex roles have long been recognized in the transmission of languages in situations of language contact. More recent studies of multilingualism, second language learning and language maintenance have moved beyond the investigation of gender roles to looking at gendered identities and questions of language maintenance/shift. Here we build upon these developments and examine the ways in which masculinities a…
Gender-inclusive Language Reform in Educational Writing in Singapore and the Philippines: A Corpus-based Study
In this paper we examine the adoption of some gender-inclusive features (generic nouns and pronouns) in two varieties of “outer-circle” Englishes. The focus is on educational texts given the importance of the educational domain in the adoption and spread of language planning. The texts are from the Singapore and Philippine sections of the International Corpus of English [ICE]. Overall results point to minimal adoption of gender-inclusive alternat…
Non-sexist language reform and generic pronouns in Australian English
This paper explores changes in the use of generic pronouns in Australian English. We examine a database of public non-scripted speech to establish to what extent generic pronouns promoted through non-sexist language reform have become part of public speech. The results show that the use of masculine generic he has decreased substantially mainly in favour of singular they. The pronoun he or she does not appear to have been adopted widely by people…
Gender and Language Contact Research in the Australian Context
The focus of this paper is a (re)consideration of explanations and (re)presentation of second-generation bilingual women and their discourses of identities, language choice and language maintenance in Australia in the light of new directions for gender in language contact research. Here we present a (re)view of the value, roles and directions of past and present research about gender and language contact as well as provide an example for future d…

Diglossia, immigrant dialects and language maintenance in Australia: The case of limburgs and Swabian
In this article two aspects of language maintenance are investigated. Firstly, the effect which the variable ‘language variety’, i.e. standard variety versus dialect variety, has on the language maintenance patterns of Dutch‐and German‐born immigrants in Australia, i.e. do German and Dutch standard speakers maintain their first language variety better than German (Swabian) and Dutch (Limburgs) dialect speakers? The investigation proved that the o…
