S’attaquer à la suprématie du masculin sur le féminin le français inclusif dans les publications des universités françaises dans les réseaux sociaux
2021
This paper aims to examine the use of inclusive French in the Internet publications of Paris universities on their social media. Three higher education institutions were selected: Paris Dauphine-PSL University, Gustave Eiffel University, and Sorbonne Paris North University. The publications were obtained from Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Firstly, the groups of people to whom the use of inclusive French referred were considered. The second question was about the practices used to make the French language inclusive. Eight practices were observed and are described in the paper. Also, the frequency of gender-neutral language was a point of interest. The research corpus is available online…
La consciència del prestigi lingüístic entre els joves. Una aportació a l'estudi descriptiu de la inseguretat lingüística formal al País Valencià
2010
En aquest article presentem els resultats d'una investigació a gran escala sobre la Inseguretat Lingüística formal o laboviana (ILF). La mostra és representativa de l'univers estudiat -els joves valencians dels dos darrers cursos de l'ensenyament obligatori- i està formada pet 2190 estudiants entre 14 i 16 anys de 31 centres d'educació secundària de les localitats del País Valencià on es parla la llengua catalana. La ILF és un índex de la percepció que tenen els parlants de la distància que hi ha entre els seus usos lingüístics i les formes lingüístiques més prestigioses. En l'article es presenten els resultats de la ILF en l'ús de tretze variables fonètiques, morfològiques i lèxiques. S'hi…

Kommunikointi komentajien ja alaisten välillä on perusedellytys sotilasoperaatioiden onnistumiselle. Tällaista kommunikaatiota tarkastellessaan tutkijat ovat nostaneet esille komentajien väliset valtasuhteet, muodollisen vs. epämuodollisen vuorovaikutuksen, spesifin sotilasdiskurssin ja pyrkimyksen maksimaaliseen tehokkuuteen vuorovaikutuksen keinoin. Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee, millä keinoin sotilaskomentajat ilmaisevat keskinäisiä valtasuhteitaan Amerikan sisällissotaan sijoittuvien romaanien dialogissa. Tutkielman pääasialliseksi teoriakehykseksi valittiin vuorovaikutuksellista sosiolingvistiikkaa edustava Brownin ja Levinsonin kohteliaisuusteoria, jonka pääpaino keskittyy keskustelukump…
Strategy and business history rejoined : How and why strategic management concepts took over business history
2022
Scholars at the intersection of business history and strategic management have argued for the relevance and importance of historical methods in the study of strategic management of organizations. We flip this argument and ask about the role of strategic management concepts in the study of business history. We analyze volumes of Business History and Business History Review and a representative sample of business history books using a comprehensive set of keywords, each related to a specific sub-discourse in strategic management. Our results show that as scientific communities, business history and strategic management have become increasingly similar in their conceptual overlap. This study c…

Contesting language policy for asylum seekers in the Northern periphery: the story of Tailor F
2020
AbstractThis article is about navigating asylum, employment and language policy in a new country as an asylum seeker. Through the story of one individual, we show that profound inequalities are exacerbated when forced migrants are limited in their choice of language they might study or use. The individual is Tailor F, an Iraqi man seeking asylum, and the country is Finland, officially bilingual, with a majority language (Finnish) and a minority language (Swedish). Finland’s official bilingualism does not extend evenly to language education provided for asylum seekers, who are taught Finnish regardless of the region where they are placed. Upon arrival, Tailor F was housed in a reception cent…
Catalan Sociolinguistics
2022
Humans learned to talk a thousand years ago, but our written abilities are more modern. Technological progress—from writing to digitalization—have crucially changed the way we communicate with each other. Yet, research about linguistic uses, which happens under the area of sociolinguistics, is only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the concept sociolinguistics was only coined in 1949. In the Catalan culture, the first sociolinguistic studies took the form of anti-Franco essays. It was only during the late 1960s that these essays took a sociological dimension thanks to Lluís-Vicent Aracil and Rafael-Lluís Ninyoles. Nowadays, in a context of increasing multidisciplinary approaches, Catalan sociol…
Languagised Repertoires : How Fictional Languages Have Real Effects
2019
It is now widely acknowledged in a range of linguistic disciplines that ‘languages’ are sociohistorical constructs rather than ontologically real entities. While this insight has contributed in important ways to challenging the monolingual bias in linguistics, a simplistic dismissal of the notion of ‘languages’ is unhelpful when trying to explain its status and function as a sociocultural, metalinguistic construct. This chapter draws on insights from linguistic anthropology as well as usage-based perspectives on language learning to argue that language use always involves an evaluative dimension linked with sociocultural conventions, and that it is such language use that forms the basis of …
