The Coherence of Linguistic Communities

Orderly Heterogeneity and Social Meaning

ISBN: 9781032537221

出版时间：2022年5月

出版社: Routledge

本书主编：Karen V.Beaman ，Gregory R.Guy

这本书汇集了关于“有序异质性”和“社会意义”概念的一系列观点，揭示了社会意义的结构化变化和索引性如何在语言社区中“连贯”。本书通过批判性地考虑社会语言学家 Weinrich、Labov 和 Herzog 在 1968 年阐明的立场，即语言多样性是以反映和构建社会秩序的方式系统地组织起来的，从而填补了语言变异研究的空白。

该卷研究了以下关键主题：

协变和共现限制;
索引性、感知和社会意义;
连贯性和语言变化;
以及不同分析层次的连贯性结构和测量。

该文集通过对更大、更多样化的变量、语言变体、言语风格和社区的实证研究，推进了我们对语言社区连贯性的理解，这是社会语言学研究新方法和模型的发展和进步所提供的。

本书对社会语言学、语言变异和变化以及形式语言学的学者以及对语言学研究方法发展感兴趣的人很感兴趣。

内容简介

Varieties of language are seen – by linguists and non-specialists alike – as constituting sets of linguistic characteristics, items, and structures. This is true of languages, dialects, ethnolects, and sociolects, as well as of genres, styles, and registers. However, the boundaries and internal unity of all such lects are known to be problematic. Frontiers between lects are fuzzy, definitional characteristics are often scalar, and usage is not uniform across all speakers. Hence, an open question in sociolinguistics is how coherent the characteristics associated with a lect are, or have to be, and whether a lect should even be considered to constitute a coherent object, an issue we call the “unity dilemma”. Recent research in sociolinguistics has taken contrasting approaches to the unity dilemma. In a double issue of Lingua on the topic of sociolinguistic coherence, Guy and Hinskens (2016) argue that the postulate of “orderly heterogeneity” as a defining property of speech communities (Weinreich et al. 1968) presumes coherence and covariation among sociolinguistic variables: “the orderly variables that define the community should collectively behave in parallel: variants (or rates of use of variants) that index a given style, status, or a social characteristic should co-occur” (Guy and Hinskens 2016:2). Several approaches have been taken to the articulation of these inter-variable parallels. One treats them in terms of correlations (e.g., Guy 2013) and another in terms of implicational relationships (e.g., Fasold 1970). Yet another approach to the dilemma of linguistic unity treats the “definitional” characteristics of a lect as similar to a “repertoire” (cf. Benor 2010) from which speakers may draw a particular combination of variants in the construction of social meaning and in the performance of identity. Speakers’ choices may constitute “bricolage” (Eckert 2008), in which speakers assemble clusters of variants to construct interpretable personae they are trying to portray. According to Eckert, “linguistic variables do not index categories, but characteristics” (Eckert 2012:93). The research program that Eckert terms the “third wave” has focused on individual agency and micro-interaction, illuminating how variables, unified in local practice, tie up to larger social structures (Moore and Carter 2015; Sharma 2011). From this perspective, coherence is not to be found in rigid categories of speakers or clusters of variables but in a fluid and shared understanding among speakers of the indexicalities of linguistic variables and their agentive usage to evoke identities, stances, or styles
