panel will examine scalar notions of typicality and a-typicality through an
analysis of narrative, performance and discourse data we have each collected as
part of ethnographic observation. Our fieldwork has included qualitative
interviews and recordings of socially-occurring interaction and public
performance, both in real life and online (during the pandemic). We will focus
on ideologies of language, personhood, and competence in multilingual and
multigendered communities across differing cultural contexts. We explore
stance-taking in interaction, differentiation, and other pragmatic strategies
that speakers use to compare and position themselves and others with respect to
contested notions of typicality and a-typicality. Speakers in our field sites
participate in local pragmatics and sometimes contest ideological stances through
position-taking towards goals of seeming more or less “local,”
“Indigenous/non-Indigenous,” “Native/Non-Native English Student,”
“gender-neutral,” “old-fashioned” or “traditional,” “modern” or “diverse.” <span></span></span></p>

field site, discourses of gender, race, discrimination, modernity and expertise
circulate through the nation-state and communities at multiple scalar levels
(Irvine & Gal 2019). Our analyses will consider: What constitutes a
“pragmatic a/typicality” in communities where Kreyol/French, Nahuatl/Spanish,
Hebrew, and Non-Native Englishes are spoken? How do ideologies of linguistic
purism affect bilingualism, and invented language such as Hebrew pronoun shifts
to foster gender equality? How do ideologies of native/non-native English
speaker categories shape interactions between international design students? <span></span></span></p>
