Professor Scott Kiesling (University of Pittsburgh) will be leading a workshop on data analysis, drawing on his research on stance. Stance and stancetaking is a useful tool for all sorts of sociolinguistic analysis, but what is it and how do we find it? This workshop outlines a framework for analysis and then provides practical steps […]
Professor Scott Kiesling (University of Pittsburgh) talks about how toughness can help shed more light on sociolinguistic variation. Toughness has long been appealed to as a quality used to explain patterns of sociolinguistic variation, particularly in relation to gender (e.g., Trudgill 1974). This paper explores the role of this term and the qualities it describes […]

It […]
