ethnicity
inizia ad imparare
most ethnic groups believe that their language is the best medium for preserving and expressing their traditions.
1
inizia ad imparare
However, the Chinese for example, identify themselves ethnically even though they speak languages or dialects which are mutually unintelligible.
2
inizia ad imparare
Some cultures have survived even though their language has virtually disappeared like Yiddish in Georgia or Gullah in North East Florida
3
inizia ad imparare
Language is often used in the exercise of political power, A government can attempt to control its minority groups by banning their language, as Turkey bans the use of Kurdish
VIEWS AND ATTITUDES
inizia ad imparare
There are differences between white and black speakers in the US and many Americans can assign people to one of the two ethnic groups. People do not speak as they do because they are white or black
1
inizia ad imparare
Speakers acquire the linguistic characteristics of those they live in close contact with, There is no racial or physiological basis
matched guise technique in social psychology
inizia ad imparare
is used to investigate language attitudes, It involves playing recordings of different speakers reading aloud the same passage of prose but using different accents, dialects or language
1
inizia ad imparare
The technique is called matched-guise because two of the speakers are the same person appearing in two different guises using two different varieties of language
2
inizia ad imparare
The assumption is that if subjects evaluate this speaker differently in his two different guises the difference in the evaluation cannot be due to the speaker or his voice but to reactions to his accent dialect or language
Social class
inizia ad imparare
Social stratification is reflected in language varieties; social class dialects differ in pronunciation grammar and vocabulary
REGIONAL AND SOCIAL DIALECTS COMPARISON
inizia ad imparare
There are similarities between the emergence of regional and social varieties mainly because of barriers and distance, Physical isolation of villages may explain why their dialects are different.
1
inizia ad imparare
But instead of rivers or mountains, there are also social barriers of class, age, race or religion and social distance between the highest and the lowest classes which underlie language variation
Social isolation
inizia ad imparare
of some groups may explain why their languages or dialects remain relatively unaffected by those of other groups
1
inizia ad imparare
religious groups in Baghdad have limited contact with each other and Christians, Moslems, Jews maintained distinctive dialects, Social distance between the castes in an Indian village leads to differences in speech
Social distance
inizia ad imparare
between the castes in an Indian village leads to differences in speech
SOCIALLY PRESTIGIOUS
inizia ad imparare
are those features adopted by a high status group as linguistic indications of social status
STIGMATIZED VARIANTS
inizia ad imparare
are those features associated with low-status groups. E. g Midwestern cities
PROCESS OF ASSIMILATION
inizia ad imparare
There is some movement in the social hierarchy and then the speakers attaining a higher status adjust linguistically to a particular dialect.
1
inizia ad imparare
lower classes tend to assimilate language features associated with high status groups
HYPERCORRECTION
inizia ad imparare
When a particular language feature is highly valued in a speech community, the speaker from a lower class may overextend it and then we have to do with hypercorrection
1
inizia ad imparare
which is overextension of favoured feature to linguistic environments in which the feature is never used by native users
RESTRICTED and ELABORATED CODE
inizia ad imparare
According to the policy makers in postwar Britain in the late fifties, Working class children didn't perform so well at school as middle-class children of the same intelligence
1
inizia ad imparare
Basil Bernstein showed that some working-class children have access to and use only restricted code which is more context dependent
2
inizia ad imparare
for example in the formal interview situation with a middle class adult the children used short or monosyllabic responses or many pronouns
3
inizia ad imparare
Whereas middle-class children have access to both “ restricted code and elaborated code, which is more formal more explicit, and tend to use elaborated code
Age
inizia ad imparare
Within a speech community there is a system of social rules of language behaviour for particular age groups
1
inizia ad imparare
the use of slang by teenagers can be accepted in certain situations, but the same lg used by middle-aged persons, may be regarded as highly inappropriate and received with shock or disgust
PRE ADOLESCENT STAGE
inizia ad imparare
can be characterized by the use of peer group, local dialect with a great amount of stigmatized forms and little stylistic variation
1
inizia ad imparare
Very often the speakers first reject parental norms and then gradually approximate to adult patterns during their school years
Adult stage
inizia ad imparare
further education and achievement of social status may bring about an attempt to conform their speech to status groups to modify it towards prestige forms and bigger stylistic variation
Old age stage
inizia ad imparare
Older people used to preserve some language patterns learned early in life although they are already out of use and sound peculiar to the representatives of the younger generation
1
inizia ad imparare
there occur differences in pronunciation and grammar as well old people do not seem to pay much attention to speech and also their stylistic variation tends to diminish
WHY IS WOMENS SPEECH DIFFERENT
inizia ad imparare
Otto Jespersen claimed that the differences have a biological basis, There are some differences in neurophysiological processes.
1
inizia ad imparare
phonological processing in males is located in the left hemisphere, in females both, But there is no evidence that such differences account for differences between male and female speech
2
inizia ad imparare
The biological basis and the physiology of the vocal tract can only explain the differences in the height of pitch The vocal cords are shorter, lighter, more stretched Much more explanation lies within the social context
WOMAN SOCIAL CLASS
inizia ad imparare
women speech is generally more correct, standard as they are more status conscious They are more sensitive to the prestige pattern and the social significance related linguistic variables
WOMAN Social roles
inizia ad imparare
Language differences reflect social roles laid down by society, Expressive role imputed to women and the instrumental role associated with men
1
inizia ad imparare
Hence occupations are associated with men, and women are expected to run the house take care of children be nice to hardworking husbands
Male dominance
inizia ad imparare
Male dominance in the language is a reflection of men’s superior position in a society and the role they have traditionally played
SPEECH ACT THEORY AND ITS FOUNDERS
inizia ad imparare
Speech act theory was first formulated in 1962 by the philosopher John Austin
WHAT IS A SPEECH ACT
inizia ad imparare
Speech acts are all the things we do when we speak, actions performed by a speaker in uttering a sentence such as requesting commanding questioning and informing
FUNCTIONS OR SPEECH ACTS
inizia ad imparare
In one sense we are talking about functions our purposes, intentions, but we are also concerned what the speakers are doing with language and what they are saying
1
inizia ad imparare
we say a particular bit of speech is a request or an instruction we are concentrating on what that piece of language is doing, or how the listener react and then we deal with speech acts
A LOCUTIONARY ACT
inizia ad imparare
It is Making a meaningful utterance, It is the act of saying something in the full sense of say by means of grammar lexis and extratextual information
AN ILLOCUTIONARY ACT
inizia ad imparare
It may be an invitation to someone to shut the window – this is the underlying force why the speaker has made an utterance, the intended action by the speaker
1
inizia ad imparare
The illocutionary act or illocutionary force can be achieved by means of certain words expressing assertion, prediction, warning, I warn you, PRAGMATIC MEANING in the CONTEXT
A PERLOCUTIONARY ACT
inizia ad imparare
It reflects the consequence of the locutionary and illocutionary acts, to designate an utterance that has an effect upon the actions, thoughts, or feelings of the listener
1
inizia ad imparare
An utterance may have such an effect on the listener that he becomes alarmed convinced, surprised, or persuaded, It is not under his control and then he may meet the unintended result
THE UPSHOT
inizia ad imparare
People don’t say what they mean and there are several reasons for speaking indirectly, it enables them to retreat in front of danger
1
inizia ad imparare
Indirection also enables us to give others the option of retreat. “Are you busy?”is a more avoidable request than‘Sit down and talk to me’
2
inizia ad imparare
The person then might answer Yes, I am, Sorry, because you have given the option of retreat, you can also retreat saying, Oh never mind I was just wondering if...
PERFORMATIVES
inizia ad imparare
A perfomative utterance is one that describes some act and simultaneously performs that act, Examples of perfomative verbs are, promise, beg, admit
DECLARATIONS
inizia ad imparare
Austin also isolated a group of performatives which have a conventional, ritualistic nature. When the speaker says I name this ship “The Queen Elizabeth”, she is performing the action of naming the ship
1
inizia ad imparare
Other ritualistic examples, of a conventional nature: swearing an oath, sentencing a criminal, opening a building, arresting an offender.
OTHER PERFORMATIVES
inizia ad imparare
Other performatives are also utterances in which saying is doing, but, unlike declarations their related verbs for example vow, arrest, declare, etc are not always actually said
PROBLEMS WITH RECOGNIZING PERFORMATIVES
inizia ad imparare
The form of performatives is usually the first person singular, Simple Present, active voice, but not always
FELICITY CONDITIONS
inizia ad imparare
The felicity conditions of an illocutionary act, are conditions that must be fulfilled, in the situation in which the act is carried out, if the act is to be said or to be carried out properly
Felicity conditions for declarations 1
inizia ad imparare
There must exist an accepted procedure, having a certain effect, procedure for christening babies, not dogs, naming ships, not houses, These procedures may be different in certain communities
2, The particular persons and circumstances must be appropriate for the invocation of the particular procedure
inizia ad imparare
The particular persons, and circumstances must be appropriate for the particular procedure, The uttering itself of the correct and appropriate words is insufficient to achieve the successful performance of the act
example
inizia ad imparare
the person for baptising the child is not a priest, the blacksmith reading the marriage service - the ceremonies are invalid.
3 The procedure must be executed by all the participants correctly and completely
inizia ad imparare
The procedure must be executed by all the participants correctly and completely During the marriage ceremony: “Do you take this woman?”“Yes” is an unaccepted answer.
Felicity conditions for other performatives
inizia ad imparare
John Searle worked out the conditions for the act of “ordering”, if certain conditions are in operation, and known to be in operation by both, the sender and the receiver
1, the sender believes the action should be done
inizia ad imparare
If I order someone to clean their boots when I do not really believe that it should be done, then my order is insincere.
2, the receiver has the ability to do the action
inizia ad imparare
I can order someone to clean their boots, but not to eat the Eiffel Tower - they will not have the ability
3, the receiver has the obligation to do the action
inizia ad imparare
My order will not succeed as an order unless the person I am talking to is obliged to clean his boots.
4, the sender has the right to tell the receiver to do the action.
inizia ad imparare
I have the right and the power to make him do so
CONVERSATION TURN TAKING
inizia ad imparare
Especially in formal situations there are clear rules on the order of speaking in parliament or other public meetings, a chairperson decides who can speak and how long
1
inizia ad imparare
In informal conversations turn-taking may depend on power and status who has the floor varies according to rules of the social group students will usually fall silent when the professor speaks whether they are in the bar or at the seminar
Strategies for taking a turn
inizia ad imparare
using interjections to signal a request for a turn, such as, Mm-hmm, Yeah and rising intonation, using facial or other gestures to indicate a wish to take a turn
Strategies for holding a turn
inizia ad imparare
through intonation using expressions to suggest continuity, such as First Another thing Then
Strategies for passing a turn to somebody else
inizia ad imparare
using phonological signals, such as slowing down the final syllables of an utterance and increasing the pitch,
1
inizia ad imparare
pausing to provide an opportunity for someone to take up the turn; using a facial or bodily gesture to signal that a turn is finished
Turn types
inizia ad imparare
ADJACENCY PAIRS, INSERTION SEQUENCE, SIDE SEQUENCE,
ADJACENCY PAIRS
inizia ad imparare
Question predicts an answer A greeting, for example, is likely to be answered by another greeting, Hi! Oh hello! Congratulations, thanks, Apology, acceptance
1
inizia ad imparare
In an adjacency pair, there is often a choice of two likely responses one is the preferred response because it occurs most frequently, the other the dispreferred response because it is less common
INSERTION SEQUENCE
inizia ad imparare
Sometimes the second part of an adjacency pair can be delayed, one question and answer contains another, like this: Question, Question, Anserw
1
inizia ad imparare
It might mean avoiding the topic, being polite or afraid of telling the truth
SIDE SEQUENCE
inizia ad imparare
Sometimes speakers switch from one topic to another unrelated one, and then back again
CLARIFICATION OR REPAIR
inizia ad imparare
Here the participants correct their own words or those of another participant to achieve a communicative effect, Together they negotiate a solution to the problem
Closing a conversation and termination of the topic
inizia ad imparare
The ending must be signalled so that the other participants know it is finished, Such signals may include particular words like, Anyway, So
COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLE
inizia ad imparare
Herbert Paul Grice offered a theory which he called conversational implicature and which attempted to explain what people mean saying something, why don’t they say directly what they mean

VIOLATING quality maxim
inizia ad imparare
TO FLOUT very often for effect
VIOLATING quantity maxim
inizia ad imparare
We often say more than we need for example to mark a sense of respect
VIOLATING Maxim of relevance
inizia ad imparare
to signal embarrassment or a desire to change the subject
VIOLATING The maxim of manner
inizia ad imparare
is violated for humour (puns) where rival meanings are deliberately tolerated, or in order to establish solidarity between speakers and exclude an overhearer from a conversation
1
inizia ad imparare
Doctors diagnose patients for medical students in a language which they know the patient will not follow. Prisoners, children
POLITENESS MAXIMS- ROBIN LAKOFF
inizia ad imparare
Don’t impose, i'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, trying to be polite, Give options: are you busy, Make your receiver feel good
COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLE
inizia ad imparare
Speakers from different cultural backgrounds may have different interpretations of what it means to be true relevant, brief or clear, The people try to act efficiently together with others in human interaction
POLITENESS PRINCIPLE A UNIVERSAL PHENOMENON
inizia ad imparare
All humans beings try to avoid intruding upon each other's territory and make the other person feel good
for example
inizia ad imparare
in some parts of India, Taiwan and the Arabic speaking world, it is impolite to accept food when it is first offered. Only on the third offer it is appropriate to accept, and only a third refusal is considered definitive
TENSION BETWEEN TWO KINDS OF PRINCIPLES
inizia ad imparare
There are situations, and types of relationships, in which one of purposes becomes dominant, and the other hardly matters at all
for example
inizia ad imparare
in emergencies, when there is a need for immediate action, it is hardly appropriate to follow the politeness principle MOVE, Would you mind moving slightly
BIASED ATTITUDE

HOW? APPLYING MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE IN SLA
inizia ad imparare
Raising the approach, planning classes, with activities, appealing to different kinds of intelligence.
8 KINDS OF INTELLIGENCE
