In this article I examine the perceptions of third grade minoritized emergent bilinguals (Spanish/English) in a US classroom as they articulate how family members serve as a source of jocularity.

The practice of "memes" -- taking an image from pop culture and adding humorous or inspiring text to it -- are an opportunity for marketing practice.

The aim of this study is to investigate the decline of pragmatic skills in aging, and to…

First, I invoke postcritical…
