Abstract
This paper describes 'gasps' – ingressive vocoids, ingressive nasal stops, and certain sharp inbreaths – expressing stance in Hebrew conversation. A sharp inbreath can be part of a startle reflex, but sequential analysis shows gasps used as carefully coordinated interactional resources. Gasps in themselves express high arousal only; valence and specific affective categories must be gathered from context. Gasps’ liminal status, blurring the lines between body and language, self and other, informs their expressive power, making them potent ways to redirect attention, display emotion, and express empathy. Despite their liminal status, gasps fit the usage patterns of established linguistic categories of affective expressions, such as response cries, prompting reconsideration of the limits of linguistic categories.
期刊介绍：
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
