Language variation and change in social networks

A bipartite approach

By: Robin Dodsworth,Richard A. Benton

This monograph takes up recent advances in social network methods in sociology, together with data on economic segregation, in order to build a quantitative analysis of the class and network effects implicated in vowel change in a Southern American city. Studies of sociolinguistic variation in urban spaces have uncovered durable patterns of linguistic difference, such as the maintenance of blue collar/white collar distinctions in the case of stable linguistic variables. But the underlying interactional origins of these patterns, and the interactional reasons for their durability, are not well understood, due in part to the near-absence of large-scale network investigation. This book undertakes a sociolinguistic network analysis of data from the Raleigh corpus, a set of conversational interviews collected form natives of Raleigh, North Carolina, from 2008-2017. Acoustic analysis of the corpus shows the rapid, ongoing retreat from the Southern Vowel Shift and increasing participation in national vowel changes. The social distribution of these trends is explored via standard social factors such as occupation as well as innovative network variables, including a measure of nestedness in the community network. The book aims to pursue new network-based questions about sociolinguistic variation that can be applied to other corpora, making this key reading for students and researchers in sociolinguistics and historical linguistics as well as those interested in further understanding how existing quantitative network methods from sociological research might be applied to sociolinguistic data.

Justice in a New World

Negotiating Legal Intelligibility in British, Iberian, and Indigenous America

By: Brian P Owensby,Richard J Ross

A historical and legal examination of the conflict and interplay between settler and indigenous laws in the New World As British and Iberian empires expanded across the New World, differing notions of justice and legality played out against one another as settlers and indigenous people sought to negotiate their relationship. In order for settlers and natives to learn from, maneuver, resist, or accommodate each other, they had to grasp something of each other's legal ideas and conceptions of justice. This ambitious volume advances our understanding of how natives and settlers in both the British and Iberian New World empires struggled to use the other’s ideas of law and justice as a political, strategic, and moral resource. In so doing, indigenous people and settlers alike changed their own practices of law and dialogue about justice. Europeans and natives appealed to imperfect understandings of their interlocutors’ notions of justice and advanced their own conceptions during workaday negotiations, disputes, and assertions of right. Settlers’ and indigenous peoples’ legal presuppositions shaped and sometimes misdirected their attempts to employ each other’s law. Natives and settlers construed and misconstrued each other's legal commitments while learning about them, never quite sure whether they were on solid ground. Chapters explore the problem of “legal intelligibility”: How and to what extent did settler law and its associated notions of justice became intelligible—tactically, technically and morally—to natives, and vice versa? To address this question, the volume offers a critical comparison between English and Iberian New World empires. Chapters probe such topics as treaty negotiations, land sales, and the corporate privileges of indigenous peoples. Ultimately, Justice in a New World offers both a deeper understanding of the transformation of notions of justice and law among settlers and indigenous people, and a dual comparative study of what it means for laws and moral codes to be legally intelligible.

Redemption

Redemption

By: Richard Powell-Gonzalez

Rarely do see we stories written about God, and even less about His creation. Too frequently, we limit the first verse of the Bible to what happened here on earth. However, the verse could easily read: In the beginning God created Heaven and (fill in the blank). We forget that God is infinitely more capable of creating every what-if scenario that men can only imagine and write about. However, God can make any scenario real. In the movie Contact, the character played by Jodie Foster says, The universe is a pretty big place. If its just us, seems like an awful waste of space. The author of those words was Carl Sagan. I do not think he would have thought that way if he had seriously considered the themes in C. S. Lewis Space Trilogy. C. S. Lewis wrote his Space Trilogy about God quarantining his creations from each other in the existing solar system. What I do in this fictional novel is show how three of his creations work, in different parts of the universe, against a fourth to bring about Gods will of saving the remnant from each and giving them the opportunity to experience his redemption. Therefore, the overarching purpose of this novel was to expand Lewis idea of the universe as a whole, and show how each creation stood in the presence of God and how, through Gods sovereignty, His will is done among these different creations.
