5. The link between linguistic subordination and linguistic inferiority complexes: English as a second language migrants in Australia

Author

Tankosic, Ana, Dryden, S., Dovchin, Sender, Tankosic, Ana, Dryden, S., and Dovchin, Sender

Abstract

Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: This article aims to explore the link between linguistic subordination and linguistic inferiority complexes in the context of English as a second language (ESL) migrants in Australia. We address the following research questions: (a) To what extent and how do ESL migrants in Australia suffer from linguistic subordination? (b) To what extent and how is this linguistic subordination linked to linguistic inferiority complexes for ESL-migrants in Australia? (c) What are the main social implications of the link between linguistic subordination and linguistic inferiority complexes for ESL migrants? Design/methodology/approach: The study involved the participation of 150 participants who were observed using linguistic ethnography. The participants engaged in interviews and focus group discussions so that we could explore the psychological consequences of linguistic subordination that they encountered. Data and analysis: The interviews and focus group discussions were transcribed and analysed with consideration to the context, as well as the participants’ utterances and paralanguage. The study followed alternative quality criteria. Findings/conclusions: Many ESL migrants in Australia face linguistic subordination for the way they speak English. Consequently, these migrants suffer from linguistic inferiority complexes – psychological and emotional damages, which result in self-marginalisation, self-vindication, loss of sense of belonging, social withdrawal, fear, anxiety and the erosion of self-confidence. We find that there is a direct link between linguistic subordination and linguistic inferiority complexes. Originality: This article addresses a gap that exists regarding the link between linguistic subordination and the development of linguistic inferiority complexes, discusses how this has real-life consequences for ESL migrants, and explores how this may be overcome. Significance/implications: ESL migrants need support so t

6. Accentism: English LX users of migrant background in Australia

Author

Dryden, S., Dovchin, Sender, Dryden, S., and Dovchin, Sender

Abstract

Using Linguistic Ethnography (LE), we analyse the ways in which English as an additional language (LX) users from migrant backgrounds in Australia encounter overt and covert ‘accentism’ from the dominant English-speaking Australian society. These forms of accentism may be used to discriminate against LX users’ pronunciation and accent in a bid to conform, normalise, contest, and encourage unequal power. Overt accentism is used to reinforce stereotypes and ideologies about the culture, race, ethnicity or gender of the LX users on the receiving end, using mockery, laughter, and sexualisation to denigrate and stigmatise their accents. Covert accentism occurs in a subtle and indirect way when LX users may feel social exclusion by strong local accents, or through locals misunderstanding migrants’ non-standard English accents. Consequently, these participants often experience feelings of embarrassment, frustration, and loss of confidence. Accentism can also lead to problems with employment, maintaining relationships with local Australians, and exclusion from social situations. We show that these accentism experiences are intersectionally linked with race, ethnicity, nationality and gender, all of which are affected by the broader cause of structural racism, that discriminates against English LX migrants with these identity attributes.

34. The role of medial hypothalamic serotonin in the suppression of feeding in a rat model of colitis

Abstract

Background & Aims: Experimental colitis is associated with anorexia that is attenuated by treatment with an interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) is a potent inhibitor of feeding, and its release from the hypothalamus is stimulated by IL-1. We have tested the hypotheses that anorexia associated with experimental colitis results from increased activity of hypothalamic 5-HT neurons and that the increase in activity occurs secondary to an increase in availability of tryptophan, the precursor of 5-HT. Methods: In vivo 5-HT release and regional hypothalamic 5-HT and tryptophan concentrations were measured in rats with 2,4,6,-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis, healthy controls, and animals pair-fed to match the food intake of the colitic group. Food intake in the colitic group was assessed after depletion of brain 5-HT by p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA). Results: In the colitic group, release of 5-HT from the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) was 3-fold (P = 0.01) and 14-fold (P < 0.001) higher than in control and pair-fed groups, respectively. Concentrations of tryptophan were similar in each group in all hypothalamic regions. Food intake was significantly increased in the colitic group after PCPA treatment but was not restored to control values. Conclusions: In animals with TNBS-induced colitis, 5-HT release from the PVN is increased. The increase in food intake after depletion of brain 5-HT suggests that hypothalamic 5-HT contributes to anorexia but is not the only mediator. Increased 5-HT release in the colitic group was not driven by increased precursor availability. GASTROENTEROLOGY 2000;118:544-553

39. Must Your New Plant Be Too Noisy?

Author

Dryden, S. L. and Judd, S. H.

Abstract

Building a quiet plant requires attention to noise from the initial concept to onstream operations. This paper is based primarily on outside process plants but the same approach is valid for a wide variety of facilities. Part I deals with achieving an acceptably quiet noise environment in the plant by: (1) establishing goals for acceptable composite noise levels; (2) converting the goals into a single set of criteria; (3) incorporating the criteria into design and performance specifications for contractors and suppliers; (4) considering compliance capability and using desgn review; (5) requiring compliance testing before and/or after startup; (6) enforcing design contractor and supplier guarantees on excessively noisy equipment; (7) providing for maintenance of acceptable noise levels throughout the life of the plant; and (8) recycling the experience gained to improve future performance. Part II describes the additional procedures required for converting goals into criteria when there is concern over the intrusion of noise into neighboring communities. This complex process is illustrated by a case history of the construction of a crude unit which met it goals inplant, off-plot, and in the nearby community without undue “overkill.”
