Analyzing classroom institutions as an exemplary setting, this paper documents a recurrent embodied and material practice regarding a teacher's use of a blackboard. Specifically, we examined teachers' mobile body torque toward the blackboard at the third position, which signals a positive evaluation of a student's response in the initiation (first)–response (second)–evaluation (third) sequence, known as IRE. Using video recordings of five English-language classrooms in Japan, we conducted multimodal conversation analysis on IRE sequences within a knowledge-check activity involving a blackboard. The activity was organized around teachers' known-answer questions directed to the students. When the teachers obtained a “correct” answer from a student, they quickly moved their bodies toward the blackboard to write the answer while withholding verbal evaluation. At this sequential moment, the teacher's body torque toward the blackboard projects a positive evaluation, along with other embodied conducts, such as a head nod. Terming this practice as the “embodied-material projecting third,” we will demonstrate the recurrence of this embodied and material practice across classrooms. In conclusion, we will discuss how the evaluative action is multimodally constructed through the interplay of the teacher's bodily placement and material engagement in classroom ecology. The data are in Japanese with English translations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"238 ","pages":"Pages 19-36"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143149248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet little attention has been directed towards the role of the interpreter's non-verbal behaviour when managing rapport and to the influence of video mediated forms of interpreting on the use of non-verbal behaviour. Therefore, this study proposes a multimodal micro-interactional framework for analysing interpreters' management of rapport challenge in both onsite (OSI) and video remote interpreting (VRI) interaction. The paper introduces a multimodal coding scheme based on Spencer-Oatey's Rapport Management Theory (2008), which is then applied to a dataset of video recorded interpreter-mediated interactions to examine how interpreters employ verbal, paraverbal, and non-verbal resources to multimodally address rapport challenge. Data were collected from simulated interactions involving professional public service interpreters and role-players adopting the role of primary participants in a reception centre for asylum seekers. The findings reveal that in OSI interpreters use a wide range of non-verbal resources when conveying rapport challenges, whereas VRI imposes constraints on non-verbal communication, often necessitating more disruptive verbal strategies to manage rapport. The study underscores the importance of a multimodal approach to interpreting research, highlighting how non-verbal behaviours significantly contribute to the management of interpersonal relations in interpreter-mediated talk.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"235 ","pages":"Pages 220-237"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143175994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the existing model provides valuable analytical tools, it falls short in explaining the plethora of directive data examined in this study. As an initial stride towards broadening the cross-linguistic applicability of interactive grammar, particularly in the realm of directive categorization, this study proposes a more elaborate classification. The Persian directives are categorized into two main groups: primary and secondary, with the latter further subdivided into imperative-derived, adverb-derived, vocative-derived, and nominal directives. Additionally, a fresh perspective is cast on the Persian double-verb imperative, transcending the traditional view of serial verb constructions and elucidating its unique features and functions. The taxonomy of Persian directives posited in this study not only enhances the granularity of the overarching model but also paves the way for its expanded cross-linguistic utility. This detailed classification opens avenues for corpus-based studies to glean deeper insights and aids in the development of more explicit annotation schemes, empowering researchers with some clear-cut categories of directives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"236 ","pages":"Pages 40-59"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143132453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(2005 [1992]) and Eelen (2001), Oliver (2022) developed a corpus-based method for inductively locating (im)politeness metalinguistic items, wherein a total of 234 (im)politeness metalinguistic forms such as <em>civil</em>, <em>kind</em>, and <em>villainous</em> were located across 4023 instances in a corpus of Shakespeare's plays. Some scholars (e.g. Haugh, 2007:302; Haugh and Culpeper, 2018:216–217) have observed that the discursive perspective to (im)politeness precludes generalisation across encounters, and therefore quantitative corpus-based analysis. This study deviates from the discursive perspective by testing a corpus-based analysis of the relationship between (im)politeness metalanguage and speech acts, via insults, in the <em>Enhanced Shakespearean Corpus</em>. While the results reveal methodological challenges with a corpus-based approach to identifying and comparing both phenomena, the approach nonetheless locates 11 conventionalised formulae for insulting encompassing 1447 instances. A sample of these insults are explored to examine their relationship with (im)politeness metalanguage, enriching an understanding of the use of (im)politeness metalanguage and insults in Shakespeare's plays generally. For example, it reveals that instances where (im)politeness metalanguage follows an impolite event tend to be when that event has a high impact on the events of the play.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"235 ","pages":"Pages 132-144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143177098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We manipulated the degree of incongruity between the context and the target utterance (No/Weak/Strong Incongruity) and the Presence/Absence of laughter before the target utterance. Overall, contextual incongruity with the target utterance was the strongest predictor of ironic interpretations regardless of laughter. Laughter had a significant effect only in the Weak Incongruity condition when considering individual variability. A cluster analysis revealed the emergence of three patterns of performance reflecting different laughter and speech semantic integrations: for some subjects, laughter cued towards ironic interpretations; for others, laughter reduced the probability of an ironic interpretation; while for a small group, laughter did not influence responses.

Conceptualizing frames as relevance establishers priming tendentious implicated premises, various corpus linguistic techniques are used to identify the frame-evoking elements of the storyline advanced by commenters. The analysis shows that frames can license conclusions potentially influencing the audience's epistemic attitude towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, making a particular victimhood narrative looks more relevant and more coherent. The argumentative potential of a given victimhood narrative lies in its ability to prime cognitive and affective effects that optimize relevance and activate emotional procedures making the audience more epistemically vulnerable to manipulation.

However, since then, the concept of phonological metaphor has not received significant scholarly attention. In this context, based on Gerard O'Grady's stratification model where intonation is located at the content plane, and notional comparison of “Unmarked/marked” and “Congruent/metaphorical”, the current paper examines whether and how marked intonation works as a metaphor. It argues that marked intonation parallels grammatical metaphor with the functional mechanism of inter-stratal tension as it carries metaphorical properties of “poly-form” (i.e. one meaning maps to more than one form) and “poly-seme” (i.e. one form maps to more than one meaning) when seen respectively from above and below. The paper further demonstrates the use of marked tone within a conservation video, illustrating how it conveys interpersonal meanings akin to the grammatical metaphor of mood. In conclusion, marked intonation serves as a phonological metaphor at the content plane. This study explores the emerging area of phonological metaphor and probably contributes to expanding the framework of metaphor in Systemic Functional Grammar which addresses a core issue in the interplay between form and meaning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"235 ","pages":"Pages 145-163"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143175995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
