Ergative marking in Jādobāti depends on perfective aspect and subject prominence. Transitive subjects in perfective aspect take ergative case, while intransitive subjects do so when prominent. Light verb transitivity also affects ergativity. Non-nominative subjects appear with experiencer interpretations, taking dative, instrumental, genitive, or locative case. Differential object marking is driven by animacy, definiteness, specificity, and prominence. In non-perfective aspects, human objects are marked obligatorily if definite, while animate objects are marked optionally. In perfective contexts, object marking reflects prominence. Topic-positioned objects may be marked for economy and interpretation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"105 ","pages":"Pages 120-136"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145159038","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}

In this paper, I argue that the way these technologies are used by and used on language workers and other members of language communities can be understood as a type of <em>language management</em>. As social scientists of technology have long pointed out, all technologies are shaped by and expressive of ideologies. In the case of language technologies, some of these are ideologies about language(s) and their speakers. Rather than simply (or only) functioning as linguistic interfaces facilitating interaction between people, language technologies reinforce linguistic ideologies, and contribute to the ideological construction of particular languages and their communities, as well as more abstract notions of ‘language’ and its value and purpose. They are furthermore often directly deployed to manage language work(ers) through surveillance, and partial automation. Understanding the ways in which language technologies reproduce, mediate and shape linguistic behaviours and beliefs as part of “algorithmic language management” allows us to connect them to both the broader sociotechnical and political project of artificial intelligence, and the scholarship on language policy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"105 ","pages":"Pages 245-258"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145525374","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}

Using visual ethnography and social semiotics, it analyses posters, billboards and handouts in situ, attending to composition, salience, modality and text–image anchorage. The article advances mnemonic normalisation to describe the progressive erosion of the constraining force of Germany's post-war guilt through selective reframing of the past. Across motifs of reclaimed freedom, leadership personification, “free speech”, secure borders and remigration, minimalist design, spatial saturation and dog-whistle cues recalibrate what is publicly sayable. Comparative analysis shows that local reception differed—defacement and counter-messaging were common in Munich, while distribution practices intensified in Karlsruhe—yet the core effect converged: embedding claims about who may speak, belong and remain within everyday urban space. The study demonstrates how the far-right can recast remembrance as an obstacle to national renewal, legitimising exclusion and deportability through ordinary design and repeated public display.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"105 ","pages":"Pages 181-193"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145333207","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}

Tacit transitions rely primarily on participants' monitoring of one another's embodied actions and use of instruments, without announcements.

Based on a dataset of 306 photographs, this research investigates the social actions performed through these “graffiti”, analyzing how they construct affective regimes and resemiotize the protective gear and healthcare workers. Five social actions are identified, namely, boosting public morale and social cohesion, enhancing the health workers’ own morale, envisioning the future, engaging in community celebrations, and, lastly, expressing love and longing. The affective regimes constructed include solidarity, pride and empathy, which mitigate tensions due to the unequal power relationship between healthcare workers and the public. The graffiti transforms the protective gear from a symbol of alienation and power inequality to one affording communication and friendship; it also turns the healthcare workers from symbols of health threats and power to peers and relatable individuals. Specific to the China context, these graffiti prominently reflect collectivist thinking, contrasting with individualized expressions in Covidscape elsewhere or other types of graffiti discourse.
