This small-scale contrastive research project, largely inspired and founded on the specificities of gendered discourse style as identified by R. Lakoff (1975, 2004), and later discussed by Holmes (1986), Romaine (2003), Talbot (2003), Eckert & McConnell-Ginet (2003) and others, is based on analyzing contextualized question-tagging sampled from a corpus of texts within the journalistic register. The corpus encompasses 100 interviews provided by English and Serbian male and female interviewees from on-line newspapers and magazines. The analysis also addresses such issues as how culturally-conditioned or gender-conditioned tag-question usage is, whether a fixed form of question tagging would be less productive a pattern than the variable form, etc.","PeriodicalId":220184,"journal":{"name":"AARN: Language","volume":"300 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121458655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Se presentan las prácticas sociales paralelamente a las prácticas discursivas, existiendo una relación dialéctica entre ambas. Las relaciones de poder, dominio, hegemonía y especialmente la ideología son las áreas de trabajo en las que se concentra el ACD y cuyo campo de acción implica el recurso interdisciplinario y ransdisciplinario en áreas como la sicología, la sociología, la economía, la política y la educación (entre otras) relacionándose con la historia para poder describir, interpretar y explicar, a través de los discursos (escritos y orales), las relaciones históricas entre el lenguaje y la sociedad. <b>English Abstract:</b> The objective of this article is to invite the reader to consider the new field of critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a complementary way to the study of history. It intends to approach several interdisciplinary concepts for the incorporation of critical discourse analysis, a relatively recent theoretical and practical approach of discourse analysis based on critical theory, critical linguistics and discourse analysis into history. It centers its focus on the consideration of discourse as an event, a socio-cultural expression conditioned by social structures and belief systems of groups of power acting upon others and conditioning the social context while being the transmitter of ideology. It presents social practices in parallel to discursive ones thereby creating a dialectal relationship between them. The relations of power, hegemony, dominance, and especially, ideology, are the main concerns of critical discourse analysis thereby making room for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary joint efforts to research: psychology, sociology, politics, economics, and education, among a few others are related to history in order to describe, interpret and explain the historical relationships between society and language.","PeriodicalId":220184,"journal":{"name":"AARN: Language","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133198816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
