English-Irish codeswitching as a stylistic resource in stancetaking: A case study of the queer bilingual podcast Gaylinn

Drawing on a corpus of spontaneous speech from the queer bilingual podcast Gaylinn, the study integrates variationist, interactional, and new-speaker-oriented theoretical approaches to analyse how switching patterns relate to interactional positioning. Quantitative analyses at both turn and switch …

The ideological construction of legitimacy for pluricentric standards: Occitan and Catalan in France
In Bourdieusian theory, the use of so-called ‘legitimate’ language serves to maintain dominant power structures, with ‘legitimacy’ determined by an array of economic and social conditions inherent in speech communities. Standard languages function as normalised products and are imbued with a greater degree of legitimacy than non-standard varieties due to the Standard Language Ideology (SLI). This leads us to question what happens when a non-domin…
Phonetic transfer in language contact: Evidence for equivalence classification in the mid-vowels of Occitan-French bilinguals
This article examines first to second language (L1-to-L2) phonetic transfer in the speech of ten Occitan-French bilinguals, focusing on the mid-vowels in each of their languages. Investigating transfer in a situation of long-term societal language contact aims to shed light on the emergence of regional French phonological features from contact with Occitan. Using a sociophonetic methodology, the concept of equivalence classification (Flege 1988) …
