Abstract:

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.
