Abstract | Dialect is commonly understood to be a spoken variety of a standard or national language, linked to a local place, or people with a shared group identity of class, occupation, ethnicity, or nationality. The association of place and/or class with dialect means that it is often a marker of identity, which in some contexts may be elevated, others stigmatized. This has implications for how speakers may knowingly use dialect in social interaction. Dialect speaking can be used as a pragmatic resource to create similarity or distance with others. Scholars note that what counts as a dialect, especially when contrasted with a “standard” language, is not easily definable; such designations are often impacted by macrosociological factors and contested ideologies that have more to do with issues of history, capital, government and power than pure linguistic considerations. |
