However, regionally influenced ethnic varieties may not always manifest differences in traditional variationist-based studies of diagnostic phonological and morphosyntactic variables. This study examines how members of an adolescent friendship group in the small black Appalachian community of Texana, North Carolina, use lexical items and meta-commentary on the use of these items when their phonological and morphological variables converge. Since most Texana residents maintain regional speech patterns, we argue that lexical items may serve a significant indexical function in the social construction of ethnicity in this community. Our data suggest that lexical items may take on marked significance as symbolic vehicles through which speakers assert and negotiate their ethnic identity.}, number={1}, journal={AMERICAN SPEECH}, author={Childs, B and Mallinson, C}, year={2006}, pages={3–30} } @article{mallinson_brewster_2005, title={'Blacks and bubbas': Stereotypes, ideology, and categorization processes in restaurant servers' discourse}, volume={16}, ISSN={["1460-3624"]}, DOI={10.1177/0957926505056664}, abstractNote={Individuals employ general, cognitively grounded categorization processes to form expectations for interactions with members of other social groups. Such categorizations sometimes surface in the form of racial, ethnic, or other stereotypes. But although much literature describes and/or tests the cognitive nature of stereotyping and categorization, less investigates how stereotypes and categories are formed in casual interaction, through casual discourse. This article analyzes data from 15 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with restaurant servers to investigate how they categorize customers by drawing on racial stereotypes and stereotypes related to class and/or cultural capital to produce two types of discriminatory discourse: ‘racetalk’ and what we term ‘regiontalk’. Our analyses suggest potential differences in the servers’ processes of categorization according to patron type, which we interpret with regard to the larger context of racism and classism in contemporary U.S. society.}, number={6}, journal={DISCOURSE & SOCIETY}, author={Mallinson, C and Brewster, ZW}, year={2005}, month={Nov}, pages={787–807} } @misc{mallinson_2004, title={African American English: A linguistic introduction}, volume={79}, number={2}, journal={American Speech}, author={Mallinson, C.}, year={2004}, pages={219–223} } @misc{mallinson_2004, title={Everyday talk: Building and reflecting identities}, volume={79}, number={3}, journal={American Speech}, author={Mallinson, C.}, year={2004}, pages={323–328} } @article{mallinson_wolfram_2002, title={Dialect accommodation in a bi-ethnic mountain enclave community: More evidence on the development of African American English}, volume={31}, ISSN={["0047-4045"]}, DOI={10.1017/S0047404502315021}, abstractNote={The investigation of isolated African American enclave communities has been instrumental in reformulating the historical reconstruction of earlier African American English and the current trajectory of language change in African American Vernacular English (AAVE). This case study examines a unique enclave sociolinguistic situation – a small, long-term, isolated bi-ethnic enclave community in the mountains of western North Carolina – to further understanding of the role of localized dialect accommodation and ethnolinguistic distinctiveness in the historical development of African American English. The examination of a set of diagnostic phonological and morphosyntactic variables for several of the remaining African Americans in this community supports the conclusion that earlier African American English largely accommodated local dialects while maintaining a subtle, distinctive ethnolinguistic divide. However, unlike the situation in some other African American communities, there is no current movement toward an AAVE external norm for the lone isolated African American teenager; rather, there is increasing accommodation to the local dialect. Contact-based, identity-based, and ideologically based explanations are appealed to in describing the past and present direction of change for the African Americans in this receding community.}, number={5}, journal={LANGUAGE IN SOCIETY}, author={Mallinson, C and Wolfram, W}, year={2002}, month={Nov}, pages={743–775} }
