Pavesi, Maria; Formentelli, Maicol – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2019
Insults are prototypical means to express impoliteness in social interactions. In film they are prime ways of staging conflict or jocular abuse, reflecting everyday communicative practices while contributing to the emotionality of dialogue, characterisation and plot advancement. Both original and dubbed films offer a privileged perspective to…

?Kumar, Thirumalaikolundu Rose – Online Submission, 2020
I have been interested in the study of language since I was a very young kid, and this caused me to give up everything else just to focus on the study of language. Applied linguistics has specifically been my passion and blessing, and every now and then I prepare a bibliography of research on applied linguistics for people who are interested in…

Gudmestad, Aarnes; Edmonds, Amanda; Donaldson, Bryan; Carmichael, Katie – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2020
This study aims to advance the understanding of sociolinguistic competence among near-native speakers and to further knowledge about the acquisition of variable structures. We conduct a quantitative analysis of variable future-time expression in informal conversations between near-native and native speakers of French. In addition to examining…

LoCastro, Virginia – Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2011
Making pragmatics accessible to a wide range of students and instructors without dumbing down the content of the field, this text for language professionals: (1) raises awareness and increases knowledge and understanding of how human beings use language in real situations to engage in social action; (2) fosters the ability to think critically…

Horan, Geraldine – Language and Intercultural Communication, 2013
This article will discuss why cursing and swearing, as manifestations of emotional language, should be addressed in foreign language learning (FLL). Psycholinguistic and pragmatic studies have argued that cursing and swearing are a central component of an individual's communicative repertoire, fulfilling a variety of functions, including…

Gonzales, Wilkinson Daniel Wong – Online Submission, 2016
Adopting a quantitative approach, this paper highlights findings of an exploratory study on Hokaglish, initially describing it as a trilingual code-switching phenomenon involving Hokkien, Tagalog, and English in a Filipino-Chinese enclave in Binondo, Manila, the Philippines. Departing from the (socio)linguistic landscape of the archipelagic…

Gudmestad, Aarnes – Language Learning, 2012
This investigation connects issues in second language (L2) acquisition to topics in quantitative sociolinguistics by exploring the relationship between native-speaker (NS) and L2 variation. It is the first large-scale analysis of L2 mood use (the subjunctive-indicative contrast) in Spanish. It applies variationist findings on the range of…

Tarone, Elaine – Modern Language Journal, 2007
This article discusses sociolinguistically oriented research on second language acquisition (SLA) in the decade since Firth and Wagner (1997). Over the last 10 years, substantial progress has been made in developing a model of the sociolinguistic processes that inform second language acquisition. This model is supported by empirical evidence on…

Young, Richard – Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, 1999
Discusses two complementary traditions in the study of communication and social context and shows how one researcher's theory of context influences the methodologies he or she adopts. Reviews substantive findings of sociolinguistic researchers in four main areas of second-language acquisition and use: interlanguage variation, cross-cultural…

Stauble, Ann-Marie; Larsen-Freeman, Diane – 1978
This study presents a formal device which can be used to display interlanguage variability while revealing its overall systematicity. Two types of variability are recognized: (1) production of a number of variant structures for a single target language structure at one point in time; and (2) variation over time that is attributable to the…

Bialystok, Ellen – 1982
An observable feature of learner language, linguistic variability, is described and used as the basis for speculating about an aspect of the process of second language learning. It is hypothesized that variation in correct use of target language forms varies as a function of the demands placed on the learner to produce these forms. Three groups of…

Faerch, Claus – 1979
To assist language researchers in their analysis of interlanguage, some values for the linguistic variables of Source Language (SL), Interlanguage (IL), and Target Language (TL) are set forth. Although the fundamental assumption underlying interlanguage research is that interlanguages are linguistic systems, it is difficult to describe the…

James, Carl – 1980
Contrastive analysis is viewed as an interlinguistic, bidirectional phenomenon which is concerned with both the form and function of language. As such, contrastive analysis must view language psycholinguistically and sociolinguistically as a system to be both described and acquired. Due to the need for a psychological component in the analysis,…

Richards, Jack C. – 1978
From a consideration of variability in language-learner and language-user data, the concept of proficiency is considered in relation to models of second and foreign language learning. Proficiency is defined in relation to four separate dimensions: grammatical well-formedness, speech-act rules, functional elaboration, and code diversity. This…
