It quantifies doctors' degrees of resonance (Du Bois, 2014), a form of interactional alignment (Pickering and Garrod, 2021) that occurs when speakers imitate and re-use words and constructions uttered by their interlocutors. Resonance often involves creativity and active participation in others’ speech, overtly signalling that what they said is relevant for continuing the interaction (Tantucci and Wang, 2021). We looked at Chinese naturalistic consultations and explored whether resonance produced by Chinese doctors with a background in Western medicine (WM) differs from Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctors. Our data includes 60 online medical consultations and shows that TCM doctors’ resonance is remarkably higher. This reflected stronger involvement in patients’ speech in combination with other interactional indicators of engagement such as sentence peripheral markers of intersubjectivity (Tantucci, 2021) and strategies of relevance acknowledgement (Tantucci, 2023). The pragmatics of TCM doctors is also characterised by a more directive language geared towards a healthy lifestyle, whereas WM doctors favour etiological assessment, with a predominant use of assertive speech acts.</div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"230 ","pages":"Pages 126-141"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378216624001279/pdfft?md5=f2a34962e09984a22090d31b224ed8d9&pid=1-s2.0-S0378216624001279-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141960496","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}

Through analysis of excerpts from two Korean TV shows, Infinite Challenge and I Am Solo, various uses of self-deprecation emerge: as a defense mechanism, self-blame tactic, means of reprimand, and even as an accusatory tool. The findings illustrate the complexity of acts with self-deprecation, diverging from previous studies where self-deprecation is the main action for all participants. Participants may overtly acknowledge self-deprecating actions, yet these actions can also be layered with other interactional goals such as defense, reprimand, or accusation. Consequently, misinterpretations of self-deprecation can lead to tension or unintended outcomes. This study underscores the contextual and contingent nature of self-deprecation, emphasizing its role as a dynamic “communication practice” (Speer, 2019) in human interaction. By delving into the intricate interplay between self-deprecation and other interactional goals, this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of this phenomenon in social contexts.</div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"230 ","pages":"Pages 102-125"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141785636","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}

Regarding the influence of region, both groups used a higher number of nage than zhege.

Regarding the impact of gender, there existed significant differences in the frequency of zhege and the preference of ‘only use nage’ between Mainland males and females. Also, these differences were found between Mainland and Taiwanese males. By contrast, Taiwanese males and females used zhege and nage in similar ways, as do Mainland and Taiwanese females.

The present multimodal interactional analysis demonstrates that the general interactional motivations for the use of turn-expanding practices with för att are to manage not fully affiliating responses or a complete lack of uptake. The connective för att operates discursively and marks the upcoming talk as an explanation of some sort. The för att-prefaced contribution serves as a justification and a warrant for a first action, as well as elaborating on or merely reformulating it. The speakers also signal with embodied cues that they are prepared to elaborate on their first contribution. After having deployed depicting or pointing gestures during their first contribution, the speakers do not retract to a full embodied rest position, but halt in an intermediate body position alongside or directly after the syntactic completion of the first contribution. Thus, the speakers treat the transition space multimodally as optional slots for further talk, depending on the recipiency that the initial contribution accomplishes.</div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"230 ","pages":"Pages 41-59"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141594842","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}

The case study it proposes is non-English discourse markers in Namibian English, a postcolonial English variety set in a multilingual context. The study's methodological approach proposes to make Schneider's (2021) variational pragmatic framework more compatible with studying variation in multilingual settings by looking at multilingual speech data elicited from informants observed across contexts differentiated according to ethnolinguistic background distribution. The study finds that some discourse markers are overtly or covertly transferred along with their pragmatic functions across indigenous languages, Afrikaans, and English. It also finds that social indexicalities mobilized for social persona construction constitute a potent if not overarching factor in discourse marker selection: As it turns out, Coloured Afrikaans discourse markers rather than indigenous or English ones constitute the common core of non-English discourse markers that symbolically mark specific Namibian English varieties as simultaneously ‘Black’ and urban rather than as ‘traditional ethnic’ or ‘White’.</div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"230 ","pages":"Pages 60-75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141594841","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}
