Title: | Standard language ideology in an English-medium Irish secondary school: Conflicting perspectives on the discouragement of nonstandard language | Authors: | Lucek, Stephen | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/12978 | Date: | 24-Nov-2021 | Online since: | 2022-07-06T11:30:56Z | Abstract: | The current paper aims to address how one English-medium school functions from the different perspectives within the school: the principal, student/teacher classroom interaction and the students. This approach allows us to see the power differential of the different stakeholders in a school and how iconisation, fractal recursivity, and erasure affect teenagers in Dublin. This paper presents interview data with a principal and the students in a secondary school. Taking a qualitative approach to these data, I show that standard language ideology is linked with economic disadvantage. The school principal’s approach to identifying, problematising and seeking to eliminate certain types of nonstandard language in the school reflects a standard language ideology and is consistent with a raciolinguistic approach to linguistic discrimination. The data suggest that the students themselves take a more nuanced approach. | Type of material: | Journal Article | Publisher: | Equinox Publishing | Journal: | Journal of Language and Discrimination | Volume: | 5 | Issue: | 2 | Start page: | 199 | End page: | 225 | Copyright (published version): | Equinox Publishing | Keywords: | Teenagers; Language ideologies; Standard language ideology; Raciolinguistics | DOI: | 10.1558/jld.20487 | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed | ISSN: | 2397-2637 | This item is made available under a Creative Commons License: | https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/ |
