\u201cGenderlectal Variation in the Pragmatics of South Asian Englishes\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

In the context of British colonisation, the English language took root in India at the beginning of the 17th century and has since become an integral linguistic force in South Asian countries. Despite political independence from the British around the 1950s, English continued to be used in South Asian countries not only because of its economic value but also because by then English had grown into a South Asian language with numerous nativised features unique to the Indian subcontinent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

As descriptions of these localised features have so far focused on sound systems, vocabulary and syntax , this talk offers empirical perspectives on routines of pragmatic discourse organisation and pragmatic action with a view to potential genderlectal variation as evident from the spoken parts of the British, Indian and Sri Lankan components of the\u00a0International Corpus of English.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

More specifically, pragmatic discourse organisation will be investigated with regard to speaker vs. hearer focus in statements, i.e. how often speakers employ references to themselves in comparison to references to their interlocutors, and pragmatic action will be studied with a focus on colloquial address terms such as\u00a0dude<\/em>,\u00a0bro\u00a0<\/em>and localised forms like\u00a0men\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0machang<\/em>. Qualitative and quantitative pragmatic characteristics that emerge from the corpus data profile the individual South Asian Englishes as unique varieties of World Englishes notably different from their historical input variety British English.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHow to perform systematic manual tagging of visual artifacts\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n
An interactive, data-driven workshop for the understanding and measurement of contemporary meaning-making practices<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The main objective of this workshop is to introduce students to the theoretical and analytical skills of categorization and annotation in visual and multimodal static artifacts. By offering a practical tagging session and research-based examples which will be visualized on a newly developed software for manual annotation and statistical analysis, the students will have the opportunity to reflect upon the scientific validity of categorizing and labeling knowledge with data-driven, reproducible methods, and to practically apply their interpretation of theories by developing their own tagging model for the detection of visual features. At the end of the workshop, students will have gained a theoretical understanding of the reasons why knowledge structuring is crucial to scientific research; they will also learn how to carry out research projects independently by resorting to original but robust theoretical adjustments based on actual observation of data.<\/p>\n
