Abstract

Abstract Pragmatic markers are linguistic resources, many of them highly ubiquitous, that provide speakers with a means to display their stance toward a given proposition and, at the same time, toward their fellow interlocutors and others. Using naturally-occurring spoken data from the Sejong Spoken Corpus, we examine the role of Korean pragmatic marker com as an interactional resource for stance management in conversation. We integrate a ‘stance triangle’ framework and a dialogicality model that involves both ‘internal’ and ‘external’ dialogic processes, and analyze how Korean com is recruited as a face-threat mitigator to attenuate the assertive force of a speaker’s utterance in a variety of conversational contexts. Our findings indicate that the use of com is frequently motivated by sociocultural values, reframed as politeness norms, which prompt speakers to modulate their position in ways that mitigate face-loss for both themselves and others. We thus propose an expanded version of the ‘stance triangle’ for situations involving mitigation acts whereby, in potentially dis-aligning contexts, the speaker’s external positioning toward the stance object often does not directly nor fully reflect their internal evaluation, indicating a frequent desire among fellow interlocutors to preserve solidarity with each other.
论韩国通信的面子威胁弱化功能——对互动中内外对话处理的启示
摘要语用标记是一种语言资源,其中许多非常普遍,它为说话者提供了一种手段来展示他们对某个命题的立场,同时也展示了他们对其他对话者和其他人的立场。利用世宗口语语料库中自然出现的口语数据,我们考察了韩语语用标记com作为会话中立场管理的互动资源的作用。我们整合了一个“立场三角”框架和一个涉及“内部”和“外部”对话过程的对话模型,并分析了韩国com是如何被招募为面部威胁缓解者,以在各种对话环境中削弱说话人话语的主见力的。我们的研究结果表明,com的使用经常受到社会文化价值观的激励,这些价值观被重新定义为礼貌规范,促使演讲者调整自己的立场,以减轻自己和他人的面子损失。因此,我们为涉及缓解行为的情况提出了一个“立场三角”的扩展版本,即在可能不一致的背景下,说话者对立场对象的外部定位往往不能直接或完全反映他们的内部评价,这表明其他对话者经常希望保持彼此团结。

期刊介绍: Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.
