- Explores how members of a multi-ethnic, multi-class Washington,
DC, community deploy language to legitimize themselves as community
members while discrediting others.
- Discusses such issues as public toilets and public urination,
the “morality” of co-ops and condos, and
characterizations of “good” girls and “bad”
boys.
- Draws on linguistic anthropology and discourse analysis to
provide insight into the ways that local activity shapes larger
urban social processes.
- Draws also on cultural geography and urban anthropology.
