STAGING LANGUAGE - URSZULA CLARK KARTONIERT (TB)

Although there are many studies on linguistic variation as it relates to both traditional and
new media such as film  TV  newspapers  and online behavior  little has been written about
spoken performance in overt but face-to-face conversations. This book bridges that gap  and
focuses on an in between zone between casual face-to-face conversations and the type of heavily
scripted language of most traditional spoken media. The book draws upon a substantial amount of
empirical data in its investigation of the role played by performance texts in creating 
maintaining and challenging imagined communities and focuses upon the ways in which performance
contributes to people's sense of the kinds of use for which dialect variational use is
appropriate and those for which it is not. It sheds light on how such stylization intersects
with multiple social indexes and how performers and other creative artists challenge and mock
hegemonic practices through enregistering a defined set of linguistic variables in the context
of their performance and other associated written texts.
