This collection brings together research on cutting-edge developments at the intersection of language ideology and metalinguistic discourse, showcasing the potential of diverse approaches. With interest in language ideology and metalinguistic discourse growing, numerous qualitative and quantitative approaches have been established but have often resulted in a siloing of methods. Despite methodological advances, research on language ideology and metalinguistic discourse often relies on either qualitative methods (e.g., ethnography, content analysis) or traditional corpus linguistic techniques (e.g., concordance, collocation), with limited overlap between these “camps,” a division which has hindered a comprehensive understanding of the field. The book makes the case for bridging this gap by exploring the overlap between different approaches, demonstrating the nuanced insights a mixed methods perspective can provide. Featuring a wide range of applications across domains such as education, policy, minorities, traditional and social media, popular culture, and literature, the volume highlights the potential of integrating diverse methods. An afterword by Tommaso Milani ties these strands together, offering a forward-looking view of the field and potential directions for further research. This book will appeal to students and scholars in applied linguistics, language and education, and sociolinguistics.

This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of corpus linguistic approaches to the study of metalinguistic discourses and language ideologies. The book traces the historical trajectories of research on language ideology and metalinguistic discourse, respectively, as a foundation for exploring both the opportunities and challenges of classic corpus linguistic approaches as applied to data sets from comparative South Slavic and English case studies. This analysis paves the way for exploring methodological innovations afforded by multivariate approaches, such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, and topic modelling by applying it to the same data sets. The book concludes by reflecting on challenges and lessons learned toward outlining future directions for the further development of research at the intersection of metalinguistic discourses and language ideologies. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.

The study of language ideologies has become a key theme in sociolinguistics over the past decade. It is the study of the relationship between representations of language, on the one hand, and broader aesthetic, economic, moral and political concerns, on the other. Research into the particular role played by media discourse in the construction, reproduction and contestation of such ideologies has been widely scattered - this book brings together this emerging field. It considers how, in an era of global communication technologies, the media - by which we understand the press, radio, television, cinema, the internet and multimodal gaming - help to disseminate preferred uses of, and ideas about, language. The book is tightly focussed on the relationship between language ideologies and media discourse, together with the methods and techniques required for the analysis of that relationship. It also places emphasis on television and new-media texts, incorporating and expanding upon recent theoretical insights into visual communication and multimodal discourse analysis. International in scope, this book will also be of interest to students from a wide range of fields including linguistics (particularly sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology), modern languages, education, media studies, communication studies and cultural theory.

Washback is understood as the effect tests have on teaching and learning, with positive washback producing intended outcomes and negative washback generating unintended effects. By surveying the latest developments in the field and charting future directions, this collection offers a comprehensive treatment of research on washback in the field of language assessment. The book contains chapters exploring fundamental aspects of washback, including the impact-by-design approach, theoretical models, validity frameworks, research designs, and methods. Additional chapters examine washback across various assessment contexts, covering migration-related proficiency tests, formative and standards-based assessments, multilingual and professional language assessments, and the role of technology, including computer-based testing and AI. The book also surveys washback research in primary, secondary, and higher mainstream education, and shadow education, with a focus on English learning in Asian contexts. This book will be of interest to scholars and stakeholders in language testing and assessment, educational measurement, and applied linguistics.

This book constitutes a significant contribution to political discourse analysis and to the study of silence, both from the point of view of discourse analysis as well as pragmatics, and it is also relevant for those interested in politics and media studies. It promotes the empirical study of silence by analysing metadiscourse about politicians’ silence and by systematically conceptualising the communicativeness of silence in the interplay between intention (to be silent), expectation (of speech) and relevance (of the unsaid). Three cases of sustained metadiscourse about silent politicians from Germany are analysed to exemplify this approach, based on media texts and protocols of parliamentary inquiries. Ideals of political transparency and communicative openness are identified as a basis for (disappointed) expectations of speech which trigger and determine metadiscourse about politicians’ silences. Finally, the book deals critically with the role of those who act as advocates of ‘the public’s’ demand to speak out.

The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Linguistics introduces readers to the major facets of research on Arabic and of the linguistic situation in the Arabic-speaking world. The edited collection includes chapters from prominent experts on various fields of Arabic linguistics. The contributors provide overviews of the state of the art in their field and specifically focus on ideas and issues. Not simply an overview of the field, this handbook explores subjects in great depth and from multiple perspectives. In addition to the traditional areas of Arabic linguistics, the handbook covers computational approaches to Arabic, Arabic in the diaspora, neurolinguistic approaches to Arabic, and Arabic as a global language. The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Linguistics is a much-needed resource for researchers on Arabic and comparative linguistics, syntax, morphology, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics, and also for undergraduate and graduate students studying Arabic or linguistics.

Grounded in ethnography, this monograph explores the ambiguity of English as a lingua franca by focusing on identity politics of language and race in contemporary South Africa. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach which highlights how ways of speaking English constructs identities in a multilingual context. Focusing primarily on isiZulu and Afrikaans speakers, it raises critical questions around power and ideology. The study draws from literature on English as a lingua franca, raciolinguistics, and the cultural politics of English and dialogues between these fields. It challenges long-held concepts underpinning existing research from the global North by highlighting how they do not transfer and apply to identity politics of language in South Africa. It sketches out how these struggles for belonging are reflected in marginalisation and empowerment and a vast range of local, global and glocal identity trajectories. Ultimately, it offers a first lens through which global scholarship on English as a lingua franca can be decolonised in terms of disciplinary limitations, geopolitical orientations and a focus on the politics of race that characterize the use of English as a lingua franca all over the world. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, World Englishes, ELF and African studies.

The (potential) use of gender-inclusive language is being discussed controversially in the public sphere. Opinions on it have increasingly been voiced by individuals as well as organisations. These include state institutions, private associations, subject specialists such as linguists, and private individuals / laypeople. Views of and attitudes towards the use of gender-inclusive language cover a broad spectrum between extreme ends, and even subject specialists hold conflicting views. Research on gender-inclusive language is very much a current trend in linguistics, including the so-called ‘genderless’ languages. However, the focus is mostly on structural issues, while sociolinguistic research on attitudes towards the use of gender-inclusive language is mostly missing. Some scattered work in this area has been published, but a more thorough understanding and conceptualisation of attitudes is still needed. Furthermore, a multilingual, comparative perspective is still missing. This edited volume will address these shortcomings.

Targeting a full range of students and scholars, this volume provides a total of 50 chapters illustrating the linguistic dynamics and the dynamics of (inter)individual, and societal language contact as well as the dynamics of multidisciplinary language contact studies. Fueled by a wealth of data from a rich variety of contact situations, its geographically balanced case studies are governed by the triangulation between a focus on language structure and change, a sincere drive of sociopolitical and academic agency, and the confrontation with an everyday reality that can be unkind to (and ignorant of) those two factors. The volume clearly demonstrates the social relevance of our trade in a time burdened with ecolinguistic challenges.
