What would you consider to be the age at which someone becomes a teen, adult, and senior? Have you seen different popular concepts of these in other countries/cultures?

  • What shared features can you think of between elder-speak and baby talk (infant-directed speech)? 
  • What reasons can you think of for these shared features?) 
  • Can you think of other age-related language variables that are also related to power relations?

  • What instances of linguistic age-grading (Individual language use changes across life stages) have you seen or experienced? 
  • What does the experience of reading stories to children in French say about the impact of Michel's identity attachment to French and his exposure to certain variants? Have you had similar experiences?

  • How do you think the emergence of the internet, and especially SNS (social networking services – Tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, FB, etc.), has impacted multilingualism? 
  • Williams recommends that rather than treating the language variation amongst multilingual youths as ‘monoglossic anathema’, language policies should be developed, “…that are … adjustable to the fragmentary, hybridized and fluctuating identities of young multilingual speakers…” . When you imagine such policies, what traits do they have? (Is there more being suggested here than a simple desire for a movement away from prescriptivist language ideologies?)

    "...adults are easier to access because they can give consent to participate".]]>     2022-05-16 08:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/awzhang2/nloizphdtxv5sqt7/wish/2185340455     Johnson and White (2016) awzhang2 https://padlet.com/awzhang2/nloizphdtxv5sqt7/wish/2185444340
  • How do changing environments and sources of input affect children's language learning process?
  • What aspects of children’s identity are tied up with variation as it develops?
