Making a genealogy of "American linguistics" with John Eliot'sIndian Grammar Begun(1666)
In the history of linguistics John Pickering (1777-1846) and Stephen Du Ponceau's (1760-1844) decision to reedit and republish John Eliot's (ca. 1604-1690)The Indian Grammar Begunis an important but underrecognized event. Eliot's grammar was first published in1666, but by the early 1800s had been mostly forgotten. Applying book history and critical discourse approaches, I argue the new 1822 edition assembled by Pickering and Du Ponceau was at the…
Responsibilisation and leadership in the neoliberal university
We examine how discourses of leadership and responsibilisation are used in contemporary universities to deepen neoliberal administration and further the corporate university's business plan by restructuring and redescribing academic work. Strategically, responsibilisation discourse, promoted as ‘distributed leadership’, is a technology of indirect management. Responsibilisation language stipulates ‘expectations’ for workers and integrates academi…

Early concepts and uses of the letter …

History of linguistics
Recent work in the history of early medieval linguistics has challenged a number of assumptions about the representation of Latin and language usage during the period. Given the way Latin is often positioned as a standard for literacy and schooling, these revisions of early medieval linguistics also raise questions for teaching literacy, language arts, and standard English. Late classical and early medieval grammatical discourse presents not a mo…
