Abstract:
Age is by far the most underdeveloped of the sociolinguistic variables in
terms of research literature. To-date, research on age has been patchy and
has generally focused on the early life-stages such as childhood and
adolescence, ignoring, for the most part, healthy adulthood as a stage
worthy of scrutiny. This book examines the discourse of adulthood and
accounts for sociolinguistic variation, with regards to age and gender,
through the exploration of a 90,000 word age-and gender-differentiated
spoken corpus of Irish English. The book explores both the distribution and
use of a number of high frequency pragmatic features of spoken discourse
that appear as key items in the corpus. Part 1 of the book provides an
introduction, a theoretical overview of age as a sociolinguistic variable
and a description on how to compile a small spoken corpus for
sociolinguistic research. Part 2 consists of five chapters which
investigate and explore key features such as hedges, vague category
markers, intensifiers, boosters and high-frequent items of taboo language
in relation to the variables, age and gender. The book is of interest to
undergraduates or postgraduates taking formal courses in sociolinguistics,
applied linguistics, pragmatics or discourse analysis. It is also of
interest to students and researchers interested in using corpus linguistics
in sociolinguistic research.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These

(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your

administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
