Question
Penelope Eckert and Sally McConnell-Ginet co-authored a sociolinguistics textbook titled for “Language and” this concept. For 10 points each:
[10e] What concept shares its name with a grammatical property possessed by masculine or feminine nouns?
ANSWER: gender [accept grammatical gender; reject “sex”]
[10m] Eckert’s “Jocks and Burnouts” study examined the interplay between class and gender in one of these specific language changes occurring in the Northern Cities. These processes occur when change in one phoneme causes a cascade of changes to follow.
ANSWER: chain shifts [accept Northern Cities Chain Shift; accept pull chain or push chain; prompt on vowel shifts]
[10h] Early studies stated that women often overlap to support this process and men often interrupt in violation of it, but Eckert and McConnell-Ginet’s meta-analysis suggests no consistent evidence of a gendered effect. Eye contact and response tokens assist this process, which occurs at TRPs.
ANSWER: turn-taking [or taking turns; or floor transfer]
