Conversely, <em>shazai</em>/<em>ayama</em>∗ is associated with お互いに (<em>o-</em>)<em>tagai</em> (<em>ni</em>) ‘reciprocal(ly)’ to indicate that a reciprocal apology from Rock would be appropriate.

Based on everyday conversation data, it argues that the newsmark <em>be'emet</em> attributes remarkability, of whatever degree or valence, to the prior speaker's informing. This can be done to endorse a similar stance already offered by the informer, or it can be independently proffered by the recipient. The study shows how the negotiation of remarkability unfolds in <em>be'emet</em>-embedding sequences, focusing on cases where recipients use <em>be'emet</em> to align with their positioning as the less knowledgeable or newly informed party, as previously projected by the informer, or to withhold acceptance or contest this positioning. These different options are grounded in the epistemic and social positioning of the informer and recipient and are contextualized through the multimodal design of the <em>be'emet</em>-turn. The study proposes that the lack of specificity of <em>be'emet</em> is an affordance of such a response token since it opens up the possibility of combinedly dealing with other exigencies established by the larger activity, as well as allowing for an off-record negotiation of problems of epistemic alignment between the parties. On a broader level, the paper highlights how more general analyses of response tokens in the field of pragmatics can be enhanced by micro-analytic investigations of individual newsmarks within their local sequential context.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"238 ","pages":"Pages 40-59"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143149246","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}

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.

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}
