Informed by sociolinguistic research, yet written accessibly, Keep Your Word challenges readers to investigate the act of promising as it relates to both language-use and inclusivity.
This engaging and delightfully illustrated book invites students to engage with concepts such as:
- the cultural meaning of the idiom "keep your word"
- Speech Acts and Felicity Conditions, two frameworks that linguists use to research and understand promises
- why the expectation to "keep your word" can make someone feel excluded
- and how understanding the way language works can help learn to be more inclusive
Featuring practical inclusivity tips related to promises, this enriching curriculum supplement can be used in a Language Arts setting to learn about figurative language; in a Social Studies setting to discuss diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; or as an introduction to linguistics for students ages 7-14.
