“there is no there there”: Space deictics, verb tense, and nostalgia at a family literacy class
Publication date: April 2020Source: Linguistics and Education, Volume 56Author(s): Jenny Zhang, Laura SterponiAbstractDrawing from a yearlong ethnographic study, this paper examines spatial deictics and verb tense use in conversation and instructional activities in a family literacy class at a Bay Area Public Library. More specifically, we employ discourse analytic tools to document how spatiotemporal coordinates are never solely product of cognitive calculation but always also entangled with emotions. In addition to enacting their referentiality with respect to places and moments in time, spatial and temporal indexical te...

Language and meaning making: Register choices in seventh- and ninth-grade students' factual writing
This study examined register choices adolescent learners made in factual writing, a key genre of schooling that is also highly valued in the workplace and society. A total of 93 seventh- and ninth-grade students from an American public school were asked to write about crocodilians based on a “wordless” picture book. Their writing was coded for presence of a range of academic and everyday register features, as well as content quality. Statistical and qualitative analyses revealed that (a) the students juxtaposed features of academic and everyday registers in ways that prevented them from presenting knowledge precisely, ...

Hospitable writing: Accommodating emergent users of English by means of intralingual translation
This study draws from calls for a translingual approach to writing studies and current research in English as a lingua franca, but shifts focus from multilingual speakers to proficient speakers of English. While many studies have illustrated how emergent speakers resort to various pragmatic strategies to negotiate language in intercultural encounters, there is a dearth of research on how proficient speakers accommodate emergent speakers, especially in writing. A group of 35 proficient speakers of English was asked to identify the idiomatic multi-word expressions (MWEs) contained in a film review, and then reformulate them ...

Narratives about ‘homeland’, heritage, languages and belonging: A case of ‘return’ migration
Publication date: April 2020Source: Linguistics and Education, Volume 56Author(s): Eleni MariouAbstractRecent research, at the interface between diaspora studies and sociolinguistics, has drawn attention to the dynamic ways in which language resources are bound up with the situated construction of diasporic identities, in different social and ideological conditions. Building on this research, this article focuses on one particular diaspora: that of the Pontian Greeks who migrated to Greece in the 1990s from parts of the former Soviet Union. Drawing on a wider research project in Northern Greece, I present a study based on ...

“Want me to show you?”: Emergent bilingual preschoolers’ multimodal resourcing in show-and-tell activity
In this study, we use a transmodal lens to investigate how emergent bilingual (EB) preschoolers employ diverse bodies of knowledge, modalities, and languaging practices to engage in show-and-tell presentations. We also investigate the role of translanguaging in support of children's communication and interaction in this activity. Video data of show-and-tell activity in two dual language preschool classrooms were analyzed for the actional, verbal, and visual modes used by children as well as for features of their transmodal repertoire. Qualitative analyses revealed specific patterns in EB children's employment of multimodal...

Codeswitching practices from “other tongues” to the “mother tongue” in the provincial Philippine classroom
Publication date: February 2020Source: Linguistics and Education, Volume 55Author(s): Dana OsborneAbstractEveryday speakers of the minority language of Ilocano in the Philippines often hold many ideological projects in their minds simultaneously; these become particularly productive and apparent in the linguistically regimented space of the classroom. Here, students and teachers work together to mutually construct a distinct sense of ethnolinguistic identity through critical codeswitching practices from “other tongues” to the “mother tongue.” The central frame of doing school is primarily constructed linguistically...
