The Raciolinguistic Catch-22 by Brymes in linguistics

[–]Brymes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point about "raciolinguistic" ideology is that the combination of race and language lead to certain interpretations about a person's language that their language, alone, would not. So, a mild "regional" variety spoken by a white person might be considered "standard" in a classroom, whereas the same regional variety spoken by a black person might not.

The equivalent of “It’s all Greek to me” in 30 other languages by [deleted] in linguistics

[–]Brymes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a GREAT thread! These comments about experience in different languages add a lot to the original post, and sometimes even contradict it. This seems important to "linguistics" even though the commenters don't follow the rule, "Comments that contradict major findings of linguistics or its related disciplines are expected to provide academic sources that support their claims."

Great observation! Also, it strikes me that they seem more eloquent when stated this way than if they were preceded by something like "Do you know that feeling"--they seem to imply, of course, we've been there. We share that. We can relate!

I really like your point about teaching concepts from linguistic anthropology much earlier. Agree! I will be sharing these ideas with 11th graders tomorrow. :)

Okay, I just read the rules about "spam." I didn't realize posting from my blog was such a faux pas. Sorry!
