Regimenting ideologies

Publication date: Available online 13 November 2018Source: Language & CommunicationAuthor(s): Judith T. IrvineAbstractThis discussion of the articles in this special issue reflects on the concept of regimentation and the ideological work that reproduces or challenges regimentations and their objects. The discussion highlights the semiotic processes of typification, anchoring, comparison, and scale-making, which are important to how ideological regimentation works. These processes remind us that ideologies are always partial, relying on a person's position within their social world, and thus regimentation cannot be total.
