Eckert (2008): Variation and the indexical field #
This file formalizes the indexical field of [Eck08]. On [Sil03]'s indexical
order, a first-order index marks membership in a population and every nth-order value is
available for an n + 1st reconstrual, so the paper takes the meaning of a variable to be not a
fixed category but the constellation of ideologically linked meanings that continual
reconstrual creates, any of which a situated use may activate. An ideological field records
what each meaning is available to be construed as (IdeologicalField), a reconstrual adds
those construals to a set of meanings, and the indexical field of a first-order index is its
closure under reconstrual, a closure operator whose closed sets are the sets no reconstrual
extends.
The examples are the paper's. [Lab63]'s Martha's Vineyard (ay) is an indicator become a marker. The (ING) field of Figure 3, after [CK07], holds favourable and unfavourable meanings for both variants, and a hearer expects the variant whose field holds the impression formed of the speaker. The stances of the /t/ release field of Figure 4 accrete into qualities, social types anchor the field, and [Pod07]'s diva combines the two extremes of the articulation continuum. Among the Belten High groups of Figure 1, the burnout girls alone are among the leaders of every variable.
Implementation notes #
Figures 3 and 4 are recorded as printed and the ideological links as the text states them; the
graded strengths of SocialMeaning.AssociationField are not in the paper. Leads marks a group
among the greatest or second-greatest users of Figure 1 and is derived from the text's two
generalizations, that girls lead the older changes and burnouts the newer. The burned-out
burnout girls, the Beijing variables of Figure 2 from [Zha05], Podesva's release-rate
measurements and the (DH) discussion are not represented.

Indexical order and the indexical field #
An ideological field records, for each potential meaning, the meanings it is available to be construed as, the links along which an nth-order value acquires an n + 1st.
Equations
- Eckert2008.IdeologicalField T = (T → Finset T)
Instances For
One reconstrual of S adds to its meanings everything they are construed as.
Equations
- I.construe S = S ∪ S.biUnion I
Instances For
Reconstrual only adds meanings, so the values of order n are among those of order
n + 1.
The indexical field of a first-order index is its closure under the ideological links, every meaning the index is continually reconstrued as.
Equations
- I.indexicalField = ClosureOperator.mk₂ (fun (S : Finset T) => {t : T | ∃ s ∈ S, Relation.ReflTransGen (fun (a b : T) => b ∈ I a) s t}) ⋯ ⋯
Instances For
The reconstruals of every order lie in the field.
Continual reconstrual creates, in the end, the indexical field, a meaning lying in the field exactly when some order of reconstrual reaches it.
A set of meanings is closed exactly when no reconstrual extends it.
Once a reconstrual stabilizes, it is the indexical field.
Martha's Vineyard (ay) #
The meanings of centralized (ay) are membership among Vineyarders and the claim about what a Vineyarder is that the fishermen made with the variant, local authenticity and opposition to the mainland.
- vineyarder : VineyardMeaning
- localAuthenticity : VineyardMeaning
- oppositionToMainland : VineyardMeaning

The first-order index of centralized (ay) is membership among Vineyarders.

The text attaches evaluations to the meanings the figure pairs as alternatives, the apical speaker heard as inarticulate or lazy or else as unpretentious or easygoing and the velar speaker as articulate or as pretentious; the other meanings carry none.

Instances For
A hearer's evaluation activates the region of a variant's field it evaluates that way.
Equations

Instances For
The pairs do not work in lockstep, each variant having favourable and unfavourable meanings.
Presupposed indexicality expects of a speaker the variants whose field holds the impression the hearer has formed of the speaker from general style and content.

Instances For
An impression of the speaker as educated leads the hearer to expect the velar variant, one as uneducated the apical.

Stance accretion is the ideological field on which a stance is available to be construed as the quality of habitually taking it, the mechanism by which the field is elaborated.

Instances For
Qualities are construed no further, so accretion elaborates the field in one round, and the indexical field of /t/ release is Figure 4 with the habitual quality of each of its stances.
The social types of Figure 4 are the enregistered voices at the less fluid end of the field that anchor interpretation, the British of the stereotype /t/ release evokes, the school teacher of the standard of clear speech, the nerd girl who builds on that standard while distancing herself from teachers, and the gay diva of [Pod07]'s Heath.

The nerd girls build on the school-teachery standard from which they distance themselves.
The diva's generalized attitude of exasperation is the stance accreted into a quality.
The continuum of /t/ articulation runs from hypo- to hyperarticulation, from the deletion stigmatized in African American English through the flap of American English and the release of British English to the exaggerated release of the diva's parody.
