Marta Kirilova. All dressed up and nowhere to go: Linguistic, cultural and ideological aspects of job interviews with second language speakers of Danish. PhD Dissertation. University of Copenhagen. (2013)

This dissertation is a sociolinguistic, data-driven study of authentic job interviews with second language speakers of Danish. The job interviews are part of a Danish governmental initiative aimed particularly at immigrants and newcomers to Denmark, who are assumed to experience linguistic and cultural difficulties at the Danish labour market. The particular designs of the job interviews as well as the explicitly stated evaluations of language and culture create an unusual frame. On the one hand we deal with “traditional” job interviews as institutional gatekeeping instruments; on the other hand we face a tailored selection process meant to address the needs of the vulnerable. These contradictory practices produce certain tensions: although the job interviews in focus are meant to accomplish the target group’s special needs, they exemplify a practice in which the good intentions are all dressed up but have nowhere to go.

The presence of offensive language on social media platforms and the implications this poses is becoming a major concern in modern society. Given the enormous amount of content created every day, automatic methods are required to detect and deal with this type of content. Until now, most of the research has focused on solving the problem for the English language, while the problem is multilingual. We construct a Danish dataset DKhate containing user-generated comments from various social media platforms, and to our knowledge, the first of its kind, annotated for various types and target of offensive language. We develop four automatic classification systems, each designed to work for both the English and the Danish language. In the detection of offensive language in English, the best performing system achieves a macro averaged F1-score of 0.74, and the best performing system for Danish achieves a macro averaged F1-score of 0.70. In the detection of whether or not an offensive post is targeted, the best performing system for English achieves a macro averaged F1-score of 0.62, while the best performing system for Danish achieves a macro averaged F1-score of 0.73. Finally, in the detection of the target type in a targeted offensive post, the best performing system for English achieves a macro averaged F1-score of 0.56, and the best performing system for Danish achieves a macro averaged F1-score of 0.63. Our work for both the English and the Danish language captures the type and targets of offensive language, and present automatic methods for detecting different kinds of offensive language such as hate speech and cyberbullying.

Much socialization of children into healthy food practices takes place in the educational system. However, teachers’ understandings of healthy food may differ from those of students and parents. Furthermore, health is connected to respectability. Thus, food socialization concerns more than nutritional values. This study examines lunchtime interactions between minority students and majority teachers in a Danish classroom. I show that certain traditional food items (rye bread) are treated as superior to certain others that minority children regularly bring. Children are accountable for lunch boxes, and cultural and personal preferences are disregarded if at odds with dominant understandings of healthy food. [

Børn i Danmark i dag møder sproglige ressourcer, som knyttes til forskellige måder at tale på; ’dansk’, ’arabisk’ eller den måde, man taler på med vennerne. Dermed er sproglig diversitet et (hverdags)faktum. Hvad det betyder for såvel udviklingen af dansk som for sprogbrugerne selv, er et væsentligt spørgsmål. I en social tilgang til sprog inddrages mere end ét semantisk niveau i betydningsanalysen. Aktiviteter, domæner og de forhandlinger, der foregår gennem og i forhold til sprog, er væsentlige for, hvad sproget kommer til at betyde. I denne artikel vil jeg bidrage til diskussionen af relationen mellem sociolingvistisk sprogforandring og børns situerede sproglige møder. Jeg undersøger sprogbrug hos børn i en ret almindelig københavnsk skoleklasse med elever fra forskellige sociale, etniske og sproglige baggrunde fra 0. til 4. klasse. En dreng med dansk baggrund er den centrale deltager. Fokus er på den ideologiske og metapragmatiske forståelse af sproglige ressourcer, der associeres med ikke-dansk. Bidraget anvender et begrebsapparat fra den lingvistiske antropologi såsom registergørelse, indeksikalitet, det komplette sproglige faktum og forskelsskabende akser. Data inkluderer optagelser af hverdagsliv og mere eliciteret sprog-i-brug.

This book contributes to current theory building within applied linguistics and sociolinguistics by looking at the role of language in the lives, realities, and understandings of real children and youth in an urban setting. Collectively the studies amount to a comprehensive account of how urban children and youth construct, reactivate, negotiate, contest, and navigate between different linguistic and sociocultural norms and resources.

This article focuses on a case that compared to previous studies of hip hop language, is surprising; a group of adolescents in Copenhagen increasingly use more monolingual, standard linguistic practices in their hip hop productions on YouTube. We argue that to fully understand this development, it is necessary to take into account the local, socio-cultural meanings given to particular linguistic resources, and that this cannot be fully captured without attention to the ethnographic and sociolinguistic context. We find that the hip hop language and literacy practices in this context are related to both traditional educational norms and artistic aspirations.

In this article, we carry out an ethnographically informed sociolinguistic analysis of language use in contemporary Danish rap. We contextualize our analytical observations by drawing on knowledge from interviews with stakeholders from the music industry and ethnographic fieldwork carried out among a group of young rappers. Based on this research, we argue that while current Danish rap may be innovative and renew the way language is used compared to the linguistic tendencies of the Danish hip hop market before 2013 it does not expand the way language as such is talked about, but to some extent reproduces existing value ascriptions.
