Abstract

This paper investigates the role of local dialect forms and other semiotic signs in languagecultural practices on social media in the southern Dutch province North Brabant. Although dialect use is severely decreasing in this area, we find abundant dialect features in present-day media productions, but these are not simply some last remains. By conducting a qualitative discourse analysis of a carnivalesque music video (2020), we argue that non-linguistic resources and co-occurring dialect features are enregistered as recognizably ‘Brabantish’ for the purpose of indexing place-based identities. Moreover, we show that reproduction on TikTok (2021) takes place through recontextualization and indexical stance-taking.

将当地方言融入其中：TikTok挑战中的索引性和风格化

本文调查了荷兰南部北布拉班特省当地方言形式和其他符号符号在社交媒体语言文化实践中的作用。尽管该地区的方言使用正在严重减少，但我们在当今的媒体制作中发现了丰富的方言特征，但这些并不是最后的遗迹。通过对嘉年华式音乐视频（2020）进行定性话语分析，我们认为非语言资源和共同出现的方言特征被注册为可识别的“Brabantish”，以索引基于地点的身份。此外，我们还表明，TikTok（2021）上的复制是通过重新文本化和指数化立场来实现的。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
