Abstract:

Just about everyone seems to have views about language. Language attitudesand language ideologies permeate our daily lives. Our competence,intelligence, friendliness, trustworthiness, social status, groupmemberships, and so on, are often judged from the way we communicate. Eventhe speed at which we speak can evoke reactions. And we often try toanticipate such judgements as we communicate. In this lively introduction,Peter Garrett draws upon research carried out over recent decades in orderto discuss such attitudes and the implications they have for our use oflanguage, for social advantage or discrimination, and for social identity.Using a range of examples that includes punctuation, words, grammar,pronunciation, accents, dialects and languages, this book explores theintricate and fascinating ways in which language influences our everydaythoughts, feelings and behaviour.
