Thurlow, Crispin and Adam Jaworski 2024 Regrounding work in elite discourse: Mediatizing and amplifying entitlement Pragmatics and Society: Online-First Articles | Article

Jaworski, Adam 2019 X X-Scapes: New horizons in Linguistic Landscapes, Thurlow, Crispin and Kellie Gonçalves (eds.), pp. 115–141 | Article

The grapheme and symbol x has been documented as relatively indeterminate and polysemic (e.g. Gale, 2015).
