Analyzing <i>Tash Ma Tash</i> (1993–2011), Saudi Arabia's landmark sketch series, we show how Urban Najdi indexes bureaucratic rationality, Urban Hijazi indices affective civility, and Southern varieties are enregistered as authentic yet institutionally marginal. Naming initiates this process: character names prime moral expectations before speech begins, one mechanism through which moral enregisterment operates. Through affirmative satire, the series grants marginalized voices emotional visibility while withholding institutional authority. This study extends enregisterment theory from social typification to the production of evaluative stance.</p>","PeriodicalId":47070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Linguistic Anthropology","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By viewing <i>fresas</i> as a meta-sign, their performance consists of three main behavioral practices: linguistic behavior, physical appearance, and inhabited space. The present study explores the presence of <i>fresas</i> in the Texas borderlands and investigates their social meaning and their relationship to certain geographical and social spaces. The present study supports how the construction of the <i>fresa</i> persona not only depends on the co-occurrence of linguistic behaviors, physical appearance, and inhabited spaces but it also depends on how Laredoans move through, inhabit, and position themselves within different socially meaningful places. These findings demonstrate that geographical and social places should not be understood merely as one indexical cue among many but rather <i>place</i> organizes the various semiotic resources through which the <i>fresa</i> persona becomes recognizable and performable. Thus, in the context of the Texas–Mexico border, this study shows how the circulation of the <i>fresa</i> persona across these national contexts depends on their local reconfiguration through meaningful places rather than their straightforward reproduction.</p>","PeriodicalId":47070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Linguistic Anthropology","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jola.70080","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2023 and 2025, the study examines how parody, satire, and collective performance allow young Basque speakers to contest the sociolinguistic marginalization of Basque in Navarre. Moving beyond approaches that treat context as a passive backdrop, the article adopts Blommaert's reinterpretation of Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope to conceptualize context as historically sedimented, socially active, and productive of meaning and action. From this perspective, the article proposes the notion of the “agentive chronotope” to explain how the carnivalesque framework of <i>Iruinkokoa</i> creates the conditions for collective agency. The study argues that carnival temporarily reconfigures dominant indexical meanings surrounding the Basque language and identity while enabling alternative forms of political voice and collective belonging.</p>","PeriodicalId":47070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Linguistic Anthropology","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jola.70085","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on 5 years of immersive ethnography in private erfān classes and mystical assemblies, I argue these gatherings function as contemporary diasporic courts, mobilizing core texts within a spiritual marketplace structured by economic exclusion. While historical scholarship has shown how Persian poetry negotiated status in medieval courts, and anthropological work has grounded these traditions in social life, this study offers the first analysis of how diasporic Iranians monetize this heritage to redraw ethnolinguistic and class boundaries from within. Synthesizing Bourdieu's model of capital conversion with theories of diasporic temporality and the semiotic politics of language, I trace a dual process. Externally, participants leverage poetic mastery to convert economic capital into compound capital of refined civility, positioning the community within Los Angeles's racialized landscape. Internally, through ritualized performances of interpretation and an ideology of pre-Islamic purity, they forge class boundaries and authenticate a distinct diasporic identity. Ultimately, it reveals how spiritual tradition enables the interconversion of capital through the performance of a purified past.</p>","PeriodicalId":47070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Linguistic Anthropology","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jola.70076","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was done through <i>transposition as activism</i>, or the process by which participants undermine, transcend, or defect from highly regimented boundaries of academic writing genres and their entailed participant roles. In particular, transposition as activism seeks to dismantle the hierarchical arrangement of conventionalized “expert/non-expert” academic positionalities (i.e., author/reader, professor/student, instructor/learner, etc.) and their assumed reading/writing practices (i.e., the consumption of academic/non-academic genres, the use of academic/everyday language).
