There are six key word artificacts that play an important role in the understanding of the dynamism of language and how it reflects culture.

# data[].attributes.body
This field of study examines and contextualizes language and social identities. This field combines Sociocultural and psychological aspects of language, including the process of learning native and non-native language.

Rationale for Inclusion

Sociocultural-linguistics is the key framework of this class, as it allows us to critically examine the domains of language: speaking, writing, listening, reading and technology. It also examines the relationship between language and education and  how language and dialect impact the world.

# data[].attributes.body
This term is coined by socio-linguistic Jon Baugh, arguing that language is another factor that excludes people from an affluent community. In other words, Linguistic profiling is having preconceived notions or stereotypes about a person based simply off the way one speaks.

Rationale for Inclusion

This is also a key artifact to understanding the implications of language and dialect in everyday life. It is very important people are aware of this phenomenon and the social exclusion it creates towards minorities so that we can work towards acceptance and diversity.

Variations of the same language, different ways of saying the same thing. Dialect reflects social structure such as class, gender, origin.

Rationale for Inclusion
The rationale for including dialect is because dialect is embedded within each domain of language. For instance, register plays a role in written assesments as students experience misalignment. This is when they construct meaning from unfamiliar information or apply their own understanding of the given word based off of their implicit knowledge instead of the definition of the word in the given context. These results indicate that ELL students do not necessarily perform better if they are tested in a standard version of their native language than if they are tested in Standard English(Solano-Flores 2006 p.19)

Code switching is switching between dialects depending on who someone's is interacting with.

Rationale for Inclusion

Code- switching can occur in speaking as well as writing. In Vershawn Young’s article, “Should Writers Use They Own English” he explains that code- switching was originally called code- meshing. He goes on to say code meshing is code- switching, it is the multidialectalism and pluralingualism in a conversation or paper. Young defines code switching as blending two or more dialects together into one sentence intentionally or unintentionally. He explains, two dialects sometimes naturally, intentionally or unintentionally co- exist ( two dialects co- exist in on speech).

There are four in-depth socio-linguistic research studies our class learned about. The case studies focus around linguistic profiling, written assessments, socio-economic status and education.

This study examines the implication of dialect in the housing and employment market when callers who speak differently contact agencies and potential employers. media files and sound files.

Rationale for Inclusion

Linguistic profiling can happen within any of the domains of language. Baugh focuses on linguistic profiling through speaking but there also can be linguistic profiling through writing.

This study explores the role of socio-economic status in the language development of child by examining the difference in the amount of words a child experiences a day by age four.
The average child on welfare was having half as much experience per hour (616 words) as working class child (1251 words) and less than one third in a professional family (2153 words).

Solano-Flores (2006) examines the key concepts in socio-linguistics: dialect and register. She examines written dialect in assessments and  the role of dialect and register in assignment design, scoring, and responses. She found assessments were not producing accurate scores due to sensitivity to language variation such as dialects and registers and lack of effective accommodations. She concludes that there is a need to push research towards ways to design assessments that address the diversity of English language learners.

Register refers to people's ways of saying different things, reflecting social processes such as specialization and specific activities.

Rationale for Inclusion
Register is important because it also is embeded in the four domains of language.
The implications for the testing of ELLs revolve around around the lack of acknowledging students prior knowledge and the impact that has on their test scores. Their performance in tests sensitive to slight language variations such as different dialects or registers regardless of the language in which they are tested (Solano-Flores 2006 p.19).

There are five video artifacts that we encountered that helped contextualise and really bring to life the different concepts of language. The topics focus on linguistic profiling,  dialects, bi and tri dialectalism, endangered languages, and music as protest.

The Lakota language is described as an endangered language. Grandparents often think in Lakota but have no one to speak it of because it is not a language learned in school or at home so some are thinking of using Facebook as a way to teach the Lakota youth as well as others how to speak authentic Lakota language.
America and Britain tried to erase all knowledge from native

Rationale for Inclusion

Native Americans are currently experiencing the loss of language and culture due to forced intergenerational acculturation through the English American school system. Americans and force them into an education that belittles their origins.  Their culture and way of life is on the verge of being forgotten by the

younger generation because they were not offered the chance to  integrate their knowledge. This is important as it touches on history of dialect and the cultural importance of language as it reflects traditions and heritage for communities.

Marjorie Edwards, whose Lakota name means 'Sacred Dreamer,' is always thinking in Lakota, but there are only a few people she can converse with in her language. She is thinking about teaching her grandchildren Lakota on Facebook.

This video is about Americans linguistically profiling Japanese people, especially in the media and film. Japanese men offer up their own perspective and emotions towards these American stereotypes. One Japanese English speaker explains    America has outdated ideas despite their access to actual Japanese people online, and that their ideas do not change regardless of their knowledge of Japanese culture. In contrast, another Japanese English speaker explains that he is glad Americans are able to show Japanese culture their point of view, and that it is interesting for Japanese people.

Rationale for inclusion

This artifacts is important because it contextualizes the reality of linguistic profiling and the impact it has on a global scale. Learning about the diversity of language and also gaining the emic perspective allows you to create a new way of thinking as well as a new way of speaking which will allow new and strong relationships to form while networking in our careers.

Language Difference or Learning Disability? 

# data[].attributes.body
This study discusses the educational implications that arise due to speaking one language at home and another in an academic setting overlap with the educational implications when the language spoken at home is the same as the  language spoken at school: pronunciation, syntax and the meaning of words (semantics). For example, students with learning disabilities and ELLS also struggle with the use of figurative language.
