While these choices are not necessarily conscious, implicit in the communicative competence of a speaker, performer, or writer is an awareness of the consequences of their choice of linguistic code. Messages of intentionality thus go beyond the referential content of the conversational turn, performance, or literary work. Intentions refer to everything from attitudes toward the subject matter to the presentation of the speakers persona in relation to the topic or audience. In this way, linguistic choices serve as a tool for the speaker or author and simultaneously as an index used by the audience to find these implied communicative goals. The contributors examine this phenomenon, known as codeswitching, in situations ranging from translations of the Bible to surprise in poetry to supervisor-worker interactions on the automobile assembly line. A major theme throughout this volume is how the construct of markedness is utilized in codeswitching. Developed to varying degrees among these papers is the notion that speakers and writers, as rational actors, exploit the unmarked-marked opposition regarding audience expectations. Claims in many of these chapters follow the Markedness Model, Myers-Scottons explanation of linguistic choices. Under this model, the use of a particular code displays an intentional meaning that is viewed in terms of the extent to which the codes use matches community expectations, given the social situation or genre involved. A wide array of subjects, from novels to family conversations at a holiday gathering, are discussed in these essays, making this volume of interest to linguists specializing in such areas as discourse analysis and sociolinguistics, as well as scholars and students of English literature and rhetoric.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52130910732561,"sku":"NLS9780195115239","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780195115239.jpg?v=1757505799"},{"product_id":"contact-linguistics-book-carol-myers-scotton-9780198299523","title":"Contact Linguistics","description":"Language contact phenomena describe the linguistic varieties, or intrusions of one variety into another, that arise when speakers confront a new language. Language contact is one of the principal causes of linguistic change and diversity, and of central interest in historical, social, anthropological, and general linguistics. This book provides an account of contact outcome theories, including the author's own. It should have coursebook potential for advanced undergraduates and graduates.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52138997317905,"sku":"NLS9780198299523","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780198299523.jpg?v=1757566353"},{"product_id":"multiple-voices-book-carol-myers-scotton-9780631219378","title":"Multiple Voices","description":"Multiple Voices: An Introduction to Bilingualism provides a comprehensive overview of all major features of bilingualism, including grammatical, cognitive, and social aspects.     examines bilingualism as a socio-political phenomenon and emphasizes languages in contact, language maintenance and shift, language policy, and bilingual education includes many detailed examples from all over the world written accessibly for students with little or no background in linguistics by a prominent bilingualism researcher","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52152349262097,"sku":"NLS9780631219378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52152867684625,"sku":"GOR004977330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780631219378.jpg?v=1757616357"},{"product_id":"codes-and-consequences-book-carol-myers-scotton-9780195115222","title":"Codes and Consequences","description":"This edited volume examines the implications of the phenomenon known as codeswitching, where, in given situations, different people with access to the same linguistic repertoire (or one person in different situations) will sometimes make very different linguistic choices.
