Introduction and Basic ConceptsDr Ron Singh Christopher, from the English department of a Nigerian university, presents a language ethnographic study on greeting and interaction. The presentation addresses key concepts such as the importance of greetings in interaction, power dynamics, gender roles and social solidarity.
• Methodology and Data Collection The research collects data using linguistic ethnography methodology and examines interactions at both the micro and macro levels of language through a micro-level analysis. In addition, data is collected through participant observation and animated recall interviews.
• The Importance of Greetings The presentation emphasises that greetings play an important role in interaction and affect interactions between individuals from different socio-cultural backgrounds, especially in multicultural societies such as Nigeria. It also addresses how greetings are intertwined with gender roles and power dynamics.
• Conclusions and Discussion The presentation shows that greetings are critical for a successful interaction and that a lack of greetings can lead to negative consequences, such as facial threats, especially towards male students. It also discusses that a softer approach is adopted towards female students and that this is related to gender-based expectations.
• Educational Implications and Conclusion The results emphasise the need for further studies in different contexts to better understand the impact of greetings on interaction structures. It also emphasises how critical greetings are for successful interactions and the importance of raising awareness aboutnthem. The presentation concludes by encouraging participants and the audience to think and discuss more about the topic.
Activity Outcomes
1. Language Consciousness and Meaning: To learn about what Turkish is, its origin and its relationship with the concept of nation. In this context, to understand that Turkish is not a language spoken only by Turks, that it interacts in a wide geography and the effects of this interaction on language.
2. Sociological Structure of Language: To understand that the concept of nation is not a biological or ethnic concept, but a sociological unity and how languages are affected by this sociological unity.
3. Evolution and Spread of Language: To understand how Turkish has evolved throughout history, which languages it has interacted with and how these interactions have changed the structure of the language. Also, to learn the spread of Turkish throughout the world and the reasons for this spread.
4. Language and Culture Relationship: To understand how Turkish and Turkish culture affect each other, how language reflects culture and the effects of culture on language.
