  1. Style (sociolinguistics)

    Orphan date November 2011 Sociolinguistics In sociolinguistics , a style is a set of linguistic variants to which specific social meanings are attributed. In this context, social meanings can include group membership, personal attributes, beliefs, etc. Variation linguistics Linguistic variation is at the heart of the concept of linguistic style &mdash without the existence of variation there would be no basis for distinguishing social meanings. Variation can occur Syntax syntactically , Lexicon lexically , and Phonology phonologically . Many approaches to the interpretation and definition of style incorporate the concepts of indexicality , indexical order, stance taking, and language ideology linguistic ideology . It is important to note that a style is not a fixed attribute of a speaker. Rather, a speaker may use different styles depending on the context. Additionally, speakers will often incorporate elements of multiple styles into their speech, either consciously or subconsciously, thereby creating a new style. Origins The concept of style in the context of sociolinguistics was first introduced by William Labov in the 1960s, though he did not explicitly define the term. ref name Labov Labov, W. 1966 .

  1. Linguistic marketplace

    In sociolinguistics , the linguistic marketplace refers to the theory that the value of a speaker s choice of language depends on his or her role in society. Sociolinguist Jack Chambers linguist J.K. Chambers has written that listeners place more value on the language of professionals of language, such as teachers, authors, and lawyers, than they do on that of chemists or engineers. They similarly place more value on technicians of language, like actors and secretaries, because these jobs require more interaction with other people and greater proficiency with words. The need to find employment strongly influences the spoken language , Chambers wrote, usually pushing the speaker towards a standardized tongue or the most prestigious one used in the area. When a lower value is placed on language in occupations requiring little need to talk with others, that push towards standardization does not occur. The linguistic marketplace also plays a significant role in the ways that the speech of women and men differ, as well as that of various age levels.

  1. Synthetic personalisation

    about how individuals are synthetically created within mass audiences how media construct personalities for themselves synthetic personality Synthetic personalisation is the process of addressing mass audiences as though they were individuals through inclusive language usage. It developed from critical discourse analysis CDA , a branch of sociolinguistics concentrating upon how power is articulated. Norman Fairclough , credited with developing the concept, calls it a compensatory tendency to give the impression of treating each of the people handled en masse as an individual. Examples would be air travel have a nice day , and restaurants welcome to Wimpy 2001 52 . The use of second person pronoun s contribute significantly to the process of synthetic personalisation within the mass media . It is extremely common to encounter constructions such as See you after the break on television shows prior to television commercial commercial breaks . This example is also common in Paddy Scannell s concept of Broadcast Sociability . Mary Talbot 1995 2003 used the concept in her work on a synthetic sisterhood in teenage girls magazines , analysing the linguistic devices pronouns , presupposition s constructing a simulated friendship between reader and producer.
