Cognitive-conceptual approaches to multilingual repertoires in South Africa and their implications for the study of linguistic registers
Arguing from the perspective of the triad language-culture-cognition, this paper re-analyses metalinguistic reflections from South African language portraits with the aim of providing evidence for cognitive-conceptual motivations for the context-dependent preference of certain languages over others. It argues that languages in the South African multilingual ecology appear as clearly assigned to certain high-/low-prestige domains and hence functio…
Threatening as a sociocultural–conceptual communicative act
The present article revisits threatening discourses from the perspectives of anthropological linguistics, Cultural Linguistics, speech act theory and pragmatics. On the basis of linguistic data from 11th‐century Britain (Old English), 14th‐century Norway (Old Norse), 19th‐century Ireland (Early Modern Irish English and Modern Irish), 20th‐century Hong Kong (Hong Kong English) as well as 21st century South Africa (Black South African English), the…
Introduction
This special issue brings together contributions from leading researchers from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia active in the field of Cultural Linguistics, with particular reference to English worldwide. The special issue comprises nine substantive research articles together with a comprehensive bibliography dealing with Cultural Linguistics and world Englishes. It is anticipated that the special issue will provide a very useful referenc…
A research bibliography for world Englishes and Cultural Linguistics
This research bibliography lists some of the hallmark works in the field of Cultural Linguistics and has an exclusive thematic focus on cultural‐linguistic approaches to world Englishes. Therefore, other important and congenial works that have been published under the umbrella of, for example, Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) or deal with langauges other than English are excluded but can be found in the respective references of the individual con…
World Englishes and Cultural Linguistics
This article explores the evolution of Cultural Linguistics, its fusion with Cognitive Linguistics and Cognitive Sociolinguistics, and its application to the study of world Englishes, emphasising the cultural dimension of language and cognition. It investigates key theoretical concepts in Cultural Linguistics such as cultural categories, schemas, conceptualisations, keywords, models and scenarios as essential analytical tools for examining the in…
A Portrait-Corpus Study of Language Attitudes towards Afrikaans and English
Language portraits are useful instruments to elicit speakers’ reflections on the languages in their repertoires. In this study, we implement a “portrait-corpus approach” (Peters and Coetzee-Van Rooy 2020) to investigate the conceptualisations of the languages Afrikaans and English in 105 language portraits. In this approach, we use participants’ reflections about their placement of the two languages on a human silhouette as a linguistic corpus. R…
Pseudonyms as carriers of contextualised threat in 19th-century Irish English threatening notices
This paper explores functions of pseudonyms in written threatening communication from a cognitive sociolinguistic perspective. It addresses the semantic domains present in pseudonyms in a corpus of 19th-century Irish English threatening notices and their cognitive functions in the construction of both cultural-contextualised threat and the threatener’s identity. We identify eight semantic domains that are accessed recurrently in order to create t…
Exploring the interplay of language and body in South African youth
Elicitation materials like language portraits are useful to investigate people’s perceptions about the languages that they know. This study uses portraits to analyse the underlying conceptualisations people exhibit when reflecting on their language repertoires. Conceptualisations as manifestations of cultural cognition are the purview of cognitive sociolinguistics. The present study advances portrait methodology as it analyses data from structure…

Fairies, banshees, and the church
The present paper approaches Irish English from a cultural linguistic perspective. It illustrates how the study of cultural schemas, cultural categories, cultural conceptualisations, and conceptual metaphors/metonymies can contribute to the understanding of Irish English as a variety of English whose speech community shares a unique cultural cognition, which is instantiated in linguistic patterns that appear to be ‘marked’ for everybody from outs…
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980
BACKGROUND: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. METHODS: We pooled data from population-ba…
P2-344 Frailty and multimorbidity in the elderly
Background This study investigated the prevalence of frailty as well as its association with multimorbidity among older adults living in the South of Germany. Methods 1079 participants aged 65 years and older were interviewed and took part in a physical examination in the KORA-Age survey. Frailty was defined by weight loss, exhaustion, low physical activity, slow gait speed, and reduced grip strength. Participants were classified as non-frail, pr…
