Dear Listers,
My students and I are currently investigating narratives as discourses which construct identity. We have come across a piece of American slang we canot interpret here in New Zealand, and I ask foryour help. One narrative written by a student in North Carolina writes: [Name] was booting. [Name] was booting. Everyone was. Any ideas as to what this means? Thanks Martin Paviour-Smith Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand |
