Codes in Transition: A Folk Linguistic Exploration of the Irish Traveller Cant
RIEDER, MARIA. - : Trinity College Dublin, 2019
Abstract: APPROVED ; unpublished PhD thesis ; The Irish Traveller community is traditionally a nomadic minority group that has very much held on to their own lifestyle, customs, and values. An important component of their cultural heritage is Cant, a communicative code composed of Cant lexical items and an English morphosyntactical framework and used for private, in-group conversation. Due to its oral nature, which entails that there is little written historical evidence, and the secrecy with which it is often guarded, the information about it is very limited. This thesis asks what folk linguistics can contribute to our existing knowledge about Cant and its role in the Traveller community. Three points justify a folk linguistic perspective. Firstly, this study intends to enhance our knowledge about Cant. Due to the scarcity of material we can only find out more about it by speaking to the community. This thesis provides new material in the form of speakers? descriptions and interpretations of the nature and use of Cant. Secondly, language use and folk views about language are deeply interwoven with the language ideology of a group and with how community members view themselves in society. By taking a folk linguistic approach we not only gain functional and pragmatic information about Cant, but we also learn about beliefs and attitudes that govern speakers? language use and how language stands in relation to other elements in the cultural and linguistic repertoire. This latter point leads to the third rationale. Its interrelationship with other cultural elements means that language is in a constant flux. A folk linguistic study is about speakers? experiences of language in action, and therefore gives a dynamic view of language use. Folk-beliefs about Cant were studied during a two-year ethnographic project in two small communities of practice. The data consists of ethnographic fieldnotes and focus group interviews and were analysed by a combination of Ethnography of Communication and Critical Discourse Analysis.
