Clint Awai-Jennings will lead discussion of some of his dissertation research: Title: The syntactic and semantic functions of kine and da kine in Hawai`i Creole English Description: Both kine and da kine, originating from English kind, are emblematic features of Hawai`i Creole English ("Pidgin"), known for their numerous functions and meaning beyond the nominal use as 'kind, sort'. My work focuses on a thorough synchronic account of all of these functions and meanings, as well as a categorization of the various senses. I also consider the social meaning behind these expressions and the impact their use has on the Pidgin speech community living in an English-dominant society. There are both in person and zoom attendance options. Clint will present over zoom. Date/Time: Friday February 17, 11am-12n Physical Location: Oxley 103 (note different location!!)

In preparation, please read this article https://psyarxiv.com/ektmf/. More details on some of the contents of our discussion below (inspired from an abstract of Anna and Devin Grammon's work). Zoom link: https://osu.zoom.us/j/94792211951?pwd=MDVMZnpEdUVCS1dVbDN4cTU5L3pGdz09 In person location: Oxley 103 Summary of some of what Anna will lead us in through our discussion: Decentering the colonial native speaker In this talk, we contrast Eurocentric definitions of the ?native speaker? with those of speakers of Quechua, an indigenous language of the Andes that is highly heteroglossic and typically centered on orality rather than written language. The native speaker construct has been thoroughly critiqued in fields such as second language acquisition and language policy and planning by demonstrating the ways in which this concept is racialized, reductionist, and used to validate the hegemony of powerful ethnic and political interests (e.g. Davies, 2003; Paikeday, 1985; Slavkov et al., 2022). Nonetheless, these critiques have tended to rely on implicit assumptions that connect an idealized native speaker to proficiency in a standardized national language via standard language ideologies (Bonfiglio, 2010; Bylin & Tingsell, 2022; Hackert, 2012; Lippi-Green, 1994). Recent critiques in linguistics have advanced the discussion of native speakerism by highlighting the construct?s links to colonialism and essentializing discourses, and advocating for a more specific, and less reductionist approach to the concept (e.g. Chen et al 2021; Birkeland et al forthcoming; Grammon & Babel 2021). Our research builds on these ideas and moves to decenter the colonial native speaker by investigating speakerhood beyond the western European nationalist tradition. We consider data from Peru and Bolivia to explore the concept of the native speaker in Quechua. In our data, drawn from recent interviews as well as long-term ethnographic fieldwork, family connections, place of birth, and language use, rather than language purism, nationalism and standard language ideologies, play an important role in defining a ?[native] speaker of Quechua.? Perhaps most strikingly, a Quechua speaker is centrally defined as bilingual or multilingual, and monolingual speakers are characterized as lacking something, objects of pity, and ultimately not fully competent human beings. We argue that approaches to the ?native speaker? are often fundamentally different in Indigenous communities, and that these differences point to important critiques that have so far been implicit in the literature on native speakerism. The characterization of native speakers by Quechua speakers leads us to question the naturalized linkages between idealized notions of racial and cultural purity, literacy, language standardization, and a modern national identity that are implicit in much of the academic literature in our fields.

The experiment aims to collect perceptual data based on speech samples from Tyneside speakers, a region in the North-East of England, in combination with visual stimuli of people of different ages. In this way, the results will produce important perceptual information to inform our understanding of age-related variability in language perception.
