Monday: Wheelchair basketball & Chil

5/4

Discussion on wheelchair basketball

Historically situated
Class of disability
o In context what are you?
o T-8, t-9 incomplete little bit of fxn
o T-10 complete diff
Organized talk overlap demonstrate we know each others disability
Identity is prescribed, lodged w/in action
Suitable ling code need language to mark as insider
o A.b/ abe: able body
o Biffer: spina bifita
o Gimp story: how you become disabled
Reapportion
o Para gut/para belly: refers to walk on incomplete paraplegics
who w/
o Para walk: abnormal galt abnormal galt incomplete
paraplegics
o Tbi traumatic brain injury
o Quad hands: hands of quadriplegic
Language structures our perception of reality
Minimizing the gap
Draws to things that are diff and similar to a gym
Wheelchair ran
Rise in intonation mocking
Feminine voice that doesnt know something

 Actually: used as a shift pitch to mark contrast

Cheeky voice: lowest voice you can go leads talk in falsetto
Rant about ppl who dont know about wheelchair basketball
Knowing participant in the convo know about the info that is being
given the pitches are rising higher and higher
Needs to alight the convo
Nancy is aligning w/ leah
Leah shifts her alignment when they say no transformation of the
language betch
Alignment leach is not together
They way she says something negative
Where do they place their ids here
Changing language you are proposing language
Remove of push handle- remove of aid
Whites of the eyes ways to reach each others face
For chil

Not using handles on the wheelchair to make it more independent

Looking for a Christmas tree chil is using his wheel chair
Pointing in another direction chil is rejecting it
Chuck get what chil is saying that is when chil says a long yes
What is being pointed at
o Chil and chuck point to the tree
o Pointing out the correct tree chuck guesses what it is about
the tree that makes it special or the correct tree
o It takes a lot of time and effort to see what is the correct tree
Force people to speak a standardized language
If youre not speaking standard English youre not American
People living away from white English as they made contact they
kept the grammar the same but changed it into English

African American language is actually a variety of southern speak

Not being real Mexican if you dont speak Spanish
Also some would refuse their children speak Spanish so they would
not get stuck in esl classes

Body and gestures vary with your audience

Taking of adjective and turning it into a verb
o Your dingy sneaks
o Im a dingy your head
Children transcription: working class children on the streets
A large amount of repetition
Mimicry
Changing words from adjectives to verbs to nouns
Argument and resolution
I dont like you but I can one up you by using the same things you
are saying
Linguistics taking what someone is say and seeing if it is a well
constructed sentence
o In this context you take the language materials from
someone else and make them your own, builds on the other
persons talk
Build new action by preforming accumulative transformations
Action is built by combining different parts
New action constructed by performing operations on existing
substrate
Re-use these parts
But transform them into something new
And new parts
Working with framework
Similar to recursion the outcome of operations performed on a
current substrate creates a new transformed substrate that
constitutes the point of departure for the next set of operations

However not deterministic like a Fibonacci sequence; instead

unanticipated modifications can occur continuously
Accumulatively each next action creates
Co-operative transformation zone
o Can build on previous sentence on pervious noun phrases
o Grammar is a form of social construction
o Debates on shared consciousness we share time together
consciousness intersect
Noun phrase built incrementally through the successive actions of
multiple actors
o Can build on to noun phrases
o Redo noun phrases
Subsequent actors build new action by performing accumulative
structure-preserving transformations on public materials created by
another
Accumulation
o We cant live in the artic if we dont have knowledge given to
use from our predecessors
Co-operation transformation zone
o Diff from other animals
o Cooperation as co-operation: build new action by performing
systematic operations by building on someone elses
knowledge
o Agonistic interaction
