Doctoral student Chantal White, under the guidance of Dr. Bambi Schieffelin, New York University, will undertake research on language ideologies, language practices, and identity though formal linguistic and sociolinguistic analysis of radio communication. The researcher will examine how radio producers in a multi-ethnic and multilingual context draw on, mediate, and transform the ideological marking of different language varieties. The research will be conducted in Montréal, Canada, where the researcher will focus on the particular case of the development of Haitian identity. While situated within the larger socio-historical context of Québec's official cultural and language policies, aimed at forging a distinct society through the promotion of the French language, the researcher will pay particular attention to the choices and influence of the people who are most directly affected and targeted by these policies. The investigator will combine participant observation, semi-directed interviews, social network analysis, textual analysis of radio documents, and conversation, discourse and phonetic analyses of on- and off-air language practices. The data gathered through these methods will be used to answer the following questions: 1) Who is involved in Haitian radio production in Montréal and what are their everyday work and linguistic practices that contribute to generating audience-appropriate programming and representing an image of a plural Québec within Haitian radio? 2) How are decisions to broadcast in a language or a variety of language arrived at, implemented and justified at the organizational level and what are the consequences of on-air language choice on the daily operations of these radio stations? And 3) What are the language ideologies undergirding and shaping French and Kreyòl language choice and language policy at each radio station both on- and off-air, and how are they made evident through language practices? By attending to the ways Haitian radio producers negotiate their insertion into Québec's cultural landscape through their on-air language choices, this research adds to the theorization of radio, a widespread yet understudied medium. While much work has been done on the ways communities make use of visual media to represent and define themselves, this research will contribute to an understanding of the different ways a community get represented through its voices. The project also contributes to the education and training of a social scientist.

博士生尚塔尔白色，博士班比Schieffelin，纽约大学的指导下，将进行研究的语言意识形态，语言实践和身份，通过正式的语言学和社会语言学分析的无线电通信。研究人员将研究如何在一个多民族和多语言的背景下，无线电广播制作人借鉴，调解和转换不同的语言品种的意识形态标记。研究将在加拿大蒙特利尔进行，研究人员将重点关注海地身份发展的特殊情况。虽然位于魁北克省的官方文化和语言政策，旨在通过促进法语打造一个独特的社会的更大的社会历史背景下，研究人员将特别注意谁是最直接影响和这些政策的目标的人的选择和影响。研究者将结合联合收割机参与者观察，半定向访谈，社会网络分析，无线电文件的文本分析，以及对广播和非广播语言实践的对话，话语和语音分析。通过这些方法收集的数据将用于回答以下问题：1）谁参与了蒙特利尔的海地广播制作，他们的日常工作和语言实践是什么，有助于制作适合观众的节目，并在海地广播中代表多元魁北克的形象？2)在组织一级，以一种语言或多种语言广播的决定是如何作出、执行和论证的，广播语言的选择对这些广播电台的日常业务有何影响？3）在每个广播电台的广播和非广播中，支撑和塑造法语和克雷梅尔语言选择和语言政策的语言意识形态是什么？它们是如何通过语言实践表现出来的？通过参加海地广播制作人谈判的方式，他们通过他们的广播语言选择插入魁北克的文化景观，这项研究增加了理论化的无线电，一个广泛的，但研究不足的媒体。虽然已经做了大量的工作，社区利用视觉媒体来代表和定义自己的方式，这项研究将有助于了解不同的方式，一个社区得到代表通过其声音。该项目还有助于社会科学家的教育和培训。
