| Abstract | "To get the complete Idioms for Inclusivity experience, this book can be purchased alongside four others as a set, Idioms for Inclusivity: Fostering Belonging with Language, 978-1-032-28635-8. 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"-- Provided by publisher. |
