An individual's identity is understood as being fluid, unfixed and multifaceted. Therefore, how an individual presents their identity through the use of languages in one's linguistic repertoire is a complex and dynamic process. This present study explored the linguistic repertoire and linguistic identities of Taiwanese multilingual students, ranging in age from 11 to 17, through the use of a Language Portrait Silhouette. The analysis focused on the qualitative data and sought to understand how individuals represent their rapport with their languages through the choice of color, the mapping location of a language on the silhouette and written narratives. Results revealed that Taiwanese students’ identities are evolving as their linguistic repertoire is expanding. That is to indicate that Taiwanese multilingual students’ linguistic identities are flexible and constantly changing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47468,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics and Education","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 101248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0898589823001079/pdfft?md5=27d2a911a94e7fb91fad32379d10c59c&pid=1-s2.0-S0898589823001079-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92108575","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}

In critical discourse studies, textbooks have been shown to function as national policy instruments, carry a hidden curriculum, and enact a global agenda. The existing literature, however, pays a little attention to the fact that textbooks also represent competing discourses rather than merely being ideological apparatuses. The purpose of this study is to fill this gap by examining national subjecthood, alterity, and the way textbooks engender competing discourses and make them accessible to learners. Based on critical and post-structuralist discourse traditions, 12 English language textbooks were analyzed in one province of Pakistan. National subjecthood appears to have been constituted through various discursive indexes, including religion, gendered subjectivity, languages, literature, and patriotic sentiments among others. The Other is constituted in textbooks both as internals (religious minorities) and externals (e.g., India). Additionally, textbooks offer learners competing discourses with a possibility to negotiate their subject positions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47468,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics and Education","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 101250"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0898589823001092/pdfft?md5=d4262cfc464ec07c7e3b3151229f45ba&pid=1-s2.0-S0898589823001092-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92067982","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}

Analyses of the texts using children's “agency” and “subjectification” showed his linguistic resistance to the writing routine. While he capitalised his dislike of the parental intervention as a recurrent writing topic, he also exploited linguistic transgression, translanguaging and language play as vital mechanisms for resistance. Paradoxically, such forms of resistance also pointed to his mastery of rhetorical conventions and linguistic resources.

The existing definitions of the concept of discourse are considered. The grounds for singling out pop discourse as a variation of the song discourse are provided and its main features are discussed. In the practical part of the work, the characteristics of Simge’s songs are determined. For this, the methods of linguo-stylistic and contextual analysis are primarily used. As the result of the research, it is concluded that such stylistic figures as rhetorical questions, rhetorical exclamations, antitheses, parallel constructions, anaphors, epiphoras and are particularly important for pop discourse. It is found out that in Simge’s songs rhetorical questions are among the most common rhetorical devices. Most likely, this is a feature of Simge’s individual musical style. It is also assumed that the active use of rhetorical questions is typical for Turkish pop-music in general.","PeriodicalId":47468,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics and Education","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135888312","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}

Highly-structured and familiar communication structures reduced many obstacles to EL participation and recognized all students, regardless of language proficiency, as knowledgeable members of the classroom community. These teachers accounted for language learning and language learners at the outset of the course in the overall structure, design, and delivery, not only within individual activities, lessons, or units.
