The Potential of Poetry in Sociolinguistics
Research in the field of sociolinguistics has taken a relational and artistic turn, as scholars have developed creative means of showing research findings. Drawing on relational ethics, the authors explore the capacity of art to reach beyond the indexical. They suggest that sociolinguistic ethnographic poetry can evoke the rhythm, rhyme, and music of social life, opening up new ways of working, representing others, and responding to fundamentally ethical questions.
