项目摘要

The concept of 'Language as Talisman' is rooted in the belief that language is, in some sense extent, protective and operates as a way of averting risk and creating resilience. Members of communities believe that the way they speak to each other and the language and literacy practices they draw on, will in themselves, guarantee and shore up identity, safety and agency. The ways in which a community uses oral and written language include aspects such as dialect, accent, vocabulary, preferred genres and practices.In this study, we focus on one community, Rawmarsh in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Rawmarsh is a community that has a strong history of coal mining and steel industries. It encapsulates the concept of the 'post industrial' working class community described by Hoggart (1957) Williams (1961) and Charlesworth (2000). Rawmarsh is a rich site for literacy and language practices. This project aims to jointly understand the role of language and literacy in constructing and making sense of communities such as Rawmarsh. Partners include the Children and Young People's Service, Rotherham schools and Inspire Rotherham. We propose to produce a research review spanning a number of related fields, separate but adjacent, all of which deal with everyday language and literacy use. In parallel, and, interacting with the review, we shall develop a cross-disciplinary project on language in use with a local community in Rawmarsh. Our central focus will be the concept of language as 'talisman', an image that speaks to all the disciplines represented in the project. The perspectives represented include New Literacy Studies, Sociolinguistics, the investigation of dialect in literature and also in more popular cultural forms, as well as the intellectual history of language study itself. The New Literacy Studies uses ethnographic approaches to gain insights into everyday language and literacy practices in homes and communities (Barton & Hamilton 1998). Sociolinguistics offers tools for the fine-grained analysis of language use along with ways of conceptualizing the place of language within the social world. Looking at dialect in literature and popular culture involves examining the roles played by meta-language, 'folk-linguistic' beliefs, and perceptual phenomena such as enregisterment and indexicality in the way people orient themselves both to language and to the world through language. And bringing the tools of intellectual history to bear on language study allows for a rigorous and wide-ranging consideration of the relationships among different ways of thinking about and investigating language. Alongside, we propose to create a community study on the voices heard in the park, that reflects on the role of language and literacy as a source of resilience in everyday life, as well as develop a learning resource on language as talisman, for use in local schools. Our outputs include a Literature Review, a two page summary that draws each adjacent discipline together, a set of resources to be used with year 6 students in local schools, as well as a co-curated set of arts events in Victoria Park, Rawmarsh. Our community team includes a youth worker, the director of a community literacy initiative and an arts practitioner. Our academic team includes a researcher in the field of New Literacy Studies and ethnographic studies of community literacy practices (Dr Kate Pahl), a socio-linguist (Dr David Hyatt) an expert in the field of dialect and meta-language from English Literature (Dr Jane Hodson) and an academic interested in ideas about language (Dr Richard Steadman-Jones). In addition, an advisory group will guide the process. We have strong support from the Youth Service in Rotherham, as well as Cape UK and local schools for this project.

“语言作为护身符”的概念植根于这样一种信念，即语言在某种意义上具有保护性，并且可以作为规避风险和创造弹性的一种方式。社区成员相信，他们彼此交谈的方式以及他们所采用的语言和读写能力本身就能保证和加强身份、安全和能动性。社区使用口头和书面语言的方式包括方言、口音、词汇、偏好的流派和实践等方面。在这项研究中，我们关注一个社区，即南约克郡罗瑟勒姆的拉马什社区。拉马什 (Rawmarsh) 是一个拥有悠久煤炭开采和钢铁工业历史的社区。它概括了 Hoggart (1957) Williams (1961) 和 Charlesworth (2000) 描述的“后工业”工人阶级社区的概念。 Rawmarsh 是一个内容丰富的识字和语言练习网站。该项目旨在共同了解语言和读写能力在构建和理解 Rawmarsh 等社区中的作用。合作伙伴包括儿童和青少年服务中心、罗瑟勒姆学校和 Inspire Rotherham。我们建议撰写一篇涵盖多个相关领域的研究综述，这些领域既独立又相邻，所有这些领域都涉及日常语言和读写能力的使用。与此同时，并与审查互动，我们将开发一个关于拉马什当地社区使用的语言的跨学科项目。我们的中心焦点是语言作为“护身符”的概念，这是一个与项目中所代表的所有学科对话的图像。所代表的观点包括新读写能力研究、社会语言学、文学和更流行的文化形式中的方言研究，以及语言研究本身的思想史。新读写能力研究使用人种学方法来深入了解家庭和社区的日常语言和读写能力实践（Barton & Hamilton 1998）。社会语言学提供了对语言使用进行细粒度分析的工具以及概念化语言在社会世界中的地位的方法。审视文学和流行文化中的方言，涉及到审视元语言、“民间语言”信仰和感知现象（例如登记和索引性）在人们将自己定位于语言以及通过语言定位世界的方式中所扮演的角色。将思想史的工具应用于语言研究，可以对思考和研究语言的不同方式之间的关系进行严格和广泛的思考。此外，我们建议对公园中听到的声音进行社区研究，反思语言和读写能力作为日常生活中复原力来源的作用，并开发一种将语言作为护身符的学习资源，供当地学校使用。我们的成果包括文献综述、将每个相邻学科放在一起的两页摘要、一套供当地学校六年级学生使用的资源，以及在拉马什维多利亚公园共同策划的一系列艺术活动。我们的社区团队包括一名青年工作者、社区扫盲计划主任和一名艺术从业者。我们的学术团队包括一名新识字研究和社区识字实践人种学研究领域的研究员（凯特·帕尔博士）、一名社会语言学家（大卫·海厄特博士）、英国文学方言和元语言领域的专家（简·霍德森博士）和一名对语言思想感兴趣的学者（理查德·斯特德曼-琼斯博士）。此外，一个顾问小组将指导这一过程。我们得到了罗瑟勒姆青年服务处以及英国开普敦和当地学校对该项目的大力支持。
