“…Även om lingvistiska etnografer strävat efter ett deltagarperspektiv på språkliga fenomen är det just förortsskolan och elever som ofta varit i opposition till sin skolgång, som fått störst utrymme -både i våra egna tidigare studier och i det större forskningsfält som har studerat språkliga stilar i urbana miljöer (Milani & Jonsson 2011, 2012, Madsen, Karrebaek & Møller 2015, Nortier & Svendsen 2015. Ungas språkanvändning i prestigefulla skolor har visserligen diskuterats i senare studier (se Botsis, Kronlund & Jonsson 2020, Nørreby 2017, Årman 2018, men det är alltjämt ett underbeforskat område när det kommer till fältet som intresserar sig för ungdomsstilar i urbana miljöer -eller av det som av deltagarna i denna studie själva kallar "förortiska".…”

Jypp, Dompa and Jackson Pollock: Narratives on place, urban vernaculars, and upper class at a prestigious upper secondary school. Labelling a linguistic style by appointing it to certain groups of speakers and where they live can be a deeply problematic enterprise as both identities, language use and space become fixed and limited. In Sweden the speech style called Rinkeby Swedish (RS) has become an icon of ethnic Otherness, educational failure, and of an aggressive sexist and homophobic masculinity – ascribed to a fixed locality in the outskirts of the big cities. In this paper we have turned our gaze towards a place that have typically not been associated with RS before: a Stockholm elite school. The analysis reveals how a group of students, illustrated by how the participant Wille, perform authenticity and indexically anchor their linguistic practices and epistemics in various linguistic contexts. In a case study, we explore how the participants talk about and use not one but many different linguistic styles. We argue that the participants employ these styles as resources to comment on locality as well as social hierarchies in the school and the society at large.

“…Mer etnografiskt orienterade studier (t.ex. Engblom 2004, Haglund 2005, Otterup 2005, Jonsson 2007, Kahlin 2008, Almér 2011, Årman 2018 har skildrat hur unga positionerar sig genom bland annat språk. Inom den etnografiska inriktningen beskrivs den aktuella språkliga variationen ofta i termer av stil.…”

This article presents an edited conversation between Kenneth Hyltenstam, Christopher Stroud, Linus Salö and David Karlander. Its main topic is the rise and consolidation of bilingualism research/multilingualism research as a demarcated subject area in Swedish academe. The article delves into this history via the professional, scholarly trajectories of Hyltenstam and Stroud. By mapping and discussing their involvement in the field of bilingualism/multilingualism, the article offers analytical perspectives on the formation of the field, and on the general atmosphere surrounding this process. The account focuses on past and current research themes, institutional settings and modes of knowledge exchange. The creation of the Centre for Research on Bilingualism at Stockholm University in the 1980s emerges as a significant event in the evolving account of the research area. The conversation also makes clear that the history of bi/multilingualism research encompasses a variety of agents and interests. The subject area maintains mutable connections to numerous other scientific disciplines and is susceptible to various forms of intellectual influence. It has likewise been shaped in relation to various scholarly and societal values and concerns. By clarifying some of these dynamics, the article contributes to the yet-to-be-written history of bi/multilingualism research. It also comments on conversation as a scholarly method, and clarifies the scope and strength of its claims.

“…A third set of studies focuses on the production by citizens of musical and visual artifacts with political meaning. For example, Hanauer (2011) analyzes graffiti on the separation wall in the contested space of Abu Dis; other authors have looked into cartoons, posters, music videos or book covers produced by civil society actors (Angermüller, 2012; Arman, 2018; Lou, 2017; Way, 2016). Finally, a last set of studies focuses on more classical materials, such as the analysis of speeches by members of Protestant institutions in Northern Ireland (2007) or official documents of the military junta and religious leaders in Argentina (Bonnin, 2009).…”

There is a long tradition of linguistic research on political discourse, but little attention has been paid to what the concept of political discourse itself encompasses. With this in mind, this article aims to understand what types of discourse are categorized as ‘political’ in linguistic research and what their characteristics are (form, type of actors, policy domains, geographical coverage). To this end, we conducted a systematic literature review of 164 scientific articles from the Scopus database. Overall, the findings show that political discourse is generally limited to the discourses of (institutionalized) political elites and most specifically to oral monological speeches. The review also highlights discrepancies regarding the geographical scope and the policy domains covered by the empirical analyses, more specifically a bias toward the Western world and issues related to external defense policies, justice and home affairs.
