Among many other important works in this area of research, Jonathan Culpeper's cognitive stylistic model is a particularly worthy contribution, which provides pragmatic and cognitive explanations for various insights regarding fictional character processing. This paper proposes that there is a way of further elucidating the picture of characterisation by bringing into Culpeper's model Anders Pettersson's perspective on characterisation, emerging from his cluster conception. The explanation of how this perspective can be added to Culpeper's work will be provided in terms of similarities and differences between their models.

These results show that online political discourse can foment both false controversy and false consensus. Because liberals tend to interpret these slogans moderately, while conservatives are more likely to interpret them as extreme, these results further suggest that people may choose their interpretation of a slogan to foreground the issues that they see as problems, and/or to justify their preexisting attitude towards the movement it champions.

We looked at what set of referents (the reference set for which some property holds, or the complement set, for which the property does not hold) speakers considered most noteworthy (speaker salient), and what form they used to refer to this set (reflecting its givenness status, i.e. hearer salience) in their sentence continuations. Most continuations targeted the complement set when the prompt included a negative quantifier. When negation was in the form of clausal negation, the reference set was targeted. Having a lexically negated verb in addition to the negative quantifier as subject mattered only when speakers were not prompted to make one of the sets the sentence topic. In this case, reference set continuations were also common. The conclusion is that although the types of negation convey similar negative meanings, they give rise to differences in discourse structure, and crucially the lexical properties of the predicate can influence the strong tendency of negative quantifier to focus the complement set.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"235 ","pages":"Pages 115-131"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143175997","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}

Indeed, coparticipants may rely on summons-answer sequences in order to look for their future interlocutors and identify where they are. Our study focuses on stand-alone first-name summonses in the opening phase of interactions involving a recruiting activity and considers locating the prospective coparticipant and recruitee as a preliminary to it.

The markers are found to have trust-assuring pragmatic functions, and are thus categorized as linguistic correlates of distrust.

The markers vary in the corpora, with the highest frequencies found in the Nigerian corpus, followed by Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa corpora.
