Joshua McNeill<p>A few years ago I designed a <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguistics</span></a> activity for students based on Purnell et al.'s (1999) and Baugh's (2015) findings on <a href="https://h4.io/tags/linguisticprofiling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linguisticprofiling</span></a>. Today I wanted to make sure it was still a relevant issue for them to discuss, and Kurinec &amp; Weaver (2021) and K. E. Wright (2023) suggest that it still very much is. Fortunate for lesson planning, unfortunate for the world.</p><p><a href="https://h4.io/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linguistics</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/race" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>race</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a></p>
Dave Mandl<p>Been seeing this linguistic tic more and more in the past decade or so: the use of a sort of grandiose "you" instead of "I" in this context. I first noticed it in interviews in sports and financial reporting, but I'm now seeing it everywhere. Even Bernie Sanders. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linguistics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguistics</span></a></p>
Joachim Scharloth<p>This week I'm at the 20th Historical <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sociolinguistics</span></a> Network (HiSoN) <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/conference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conference</span></a> in Bristol. I was first in Bristol 20 years ago for the Language History from Below conference, at which we founded <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/HiSoN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HiSoN</span></a> (though not during the Sherry Reception, as is sometimes claimed). My colleagues Nils Langer, Wim Vandenbussche and Stephan Elspaß did all the work. Though my research interests have developed in a different direction, I am very impressed by how the conference has flourished!</p>

Joshua McNeill<p>Another fun <a href="https://h4.io/tags/citationhole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>citationhole</span></a> today: Susberry (2004) claimed that <a href="https://h4.io/tags/antimiscegenation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antimiscegenation</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/laws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>laws</span></a> were passed in <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Louisiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Louisiana</span></a> after the <a href="https://h4.io/tags/CivilWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CivilWar</span></a>. She cited Dubois &amp; Melançon (2000) for this. However, the latter only talked about a CAMPAIGN to outlaw <a href="https://h4.io/tags/miscegenation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>miscegenation</span></a>, thus quoting a news article that they said was from "Le Moniteur" that they found in Domínguez (1986). BUT, Domínguez got the quote from Le Carillon, whose name even appears in D&amp;M's translation of the quote.</p><p><a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguistics</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/race" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>race</span></a></p>
Joshua McNeill<p>And another citation hole: Referencing a <a href="https://h4.io/tags/discriminatory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>discriminatory</span></a> law aimed at free people of color in <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Louisiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Louisiana</span></a>, Susberry (2004) cited Gehman (1994) who actually described the law(s) completely differently and cited Schweninger (1989), Blassingame (1973), and Tregle (1992), one of whom may or may not have actually cited the damn law(s) directly.</p><p><a href="https://h4.io/tags/race" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>race</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguistics</span></a></p>
Joshua McNeill<p>More on how poor citations can be: Susberry (2004), writing about <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Whites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Whites</span></a> and White <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Creoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Creoles</span></a> unifying after the <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Louisiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Louisiana</span></a> Purchase to dominate all people of color, cited G. R. Daniel (1992). That chapter, which was a useful analysis of <a href="https://h4.io/tags/race" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>race</span></a> itself, made literally no mention of Louisiana nor Creoles. This is why I'll always be an advocate for regularly citing page numbers regardless if people think that's "grad student style" or not.</p><p><a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguistics</span></a></p>
Joshua McNeill<p>Another fun citation hole: in discussing the existence of "cordons bleus" in the plaçage days of <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Louisiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Louisiana</span></a>, J. Martin (2000) cited Roussève (1937) who cited Embree (1931) who cited literally no one and was certainly not alive early enough to know of them firsthand. Who knows if this group ever existed</p><p><a href="https://h4.io/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/NewOrleans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewOrleans</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/NOLA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NOLA</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguistics</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Creoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Creoles</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Creole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Creole</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/race" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>race</span></a></p>

At one point, she discussed the tignon law, (unclearly) citing Roussève (1937), but Roussève cited G. King (1895) who herself cited the ordinance directly. It's like the telephone whisper game, hoping that the info stays intact.</p><p><a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/sociolinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociolinguistics</span></a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Creole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Creole</span></a></p>
