Abstract:

The chapters in this edited volume explore the sociolinguistic implications of 
orthographic and scriptural practices in a diverse range of communicative 
contexts, ranging from schoolrooms to internet discussion boards. The focus 
is on the way that scriptural practices both index and constitute social 
hierarchies, identities and relationships and in some cases, become the 
focus for public language ideological debates. Capitalizing on the now robust 
body of literature on orthographic choice and debate in sociolinguistics and 
anthropological linguistics, the volume addresses a number of cross-cutting 
themes that connect orthographic practices to areas of contemporary interest 
in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. These themes include: the 
different social implications of self vs. other representation and the 
permeability of the personal/social and the public/private; how scriptural 
practices ("inscription") serve as sites for social discipline; the historical and 
intertextual frameworks for the meaning potentials of orthographic choice 
(relating to issues of genre and style); and writing as a broader semiotic field: 
the visual and esthetic dimensions of texts and metalinguistic "play" in 
spelling and its ambiguous implications for writer stance.
