Building on the analysis of 141 instances from the corpus FOLK, we identify\u0000 three sequential environments in which ich dachte is used to index that an assumption which a speaker (has) held contrasts\u0000 with some other, contextually salient assumption. We show that practices which have been studied for English I thought are\u0000 also routinely used in German: ich dachte is a means to manage epistemic incongruencies and to contrast an incorrect with a\u0000 correct assumption in narratives. In addition, ich dachte is also used to account for the speaker’s own prior actions which\u0000 may have looked problematic because they built on misunderstandings which the speaker only discovered later. Moreover, ich\u0000 dachte-practices may also be used to create comic effects by reporting an earlier, absurd assumption. The practices are discussed\u0000 with regard to their role in regaining common ground, in managing relationships, in maintaining the identity of a rational actor, and in\u0000 terms of their exploitation for other conversational interests. Special attention is paid to how co-occurring linguistic features, and\u0000 sequential and pragmatic factors, account for local interpretations of ich dachte.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43767968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That\u0000 multi-functionality poses a potential problem: How do hearers in conversation determine which function is actualized and how do speakers\u0000 project the function actualized? We address both questions examining factors hearers rely on to disambiguate well and the\u0000 resources speakers deploy to designate well’s function. The study is based on 8-, 9-, and 10-word turns containing\u0000 well extracted from the British National Corpus for which audio files from the Audio BNC are available. We include\u0000 duration, measuring well’s durations in Praat. The workflow comprised both qualitative and quantitative methods.\u0000 Qualitatively, all turns were manually inspected and the functions and subfunctions of well were identified. Due to data\u0000 paucity the quantitative analysis was based only on a broad distinction between syntactic and pragmatic functions. The analysis involved two\u0000 logistic regression model selection processes, one adopting a hearer, one a speaker perspective. Based on the factors position in the turn,\u0000 duration and lexical context, our final models indicate that hearers disambiguate the two main functions of well drawing on\u0000 lexical context and position in the turn while speakers project well’s functions by modulating duration. We propose that\u0000 Hoey’s (2005) 6th priming hypothesis, concerned with polysemy, can be extended to also include\u0000 polyfunctionality. Position also suggests a reading in terms of Hoey’s ‘textual colligation’ hypothesis related to a word’s\u0000 position: particularly in its incarnation as a marker of dispreferreds, pragmatic well is heavily primed\u0000 to occur turn-initially.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48951058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Logophoricity and shifts of perspective","authors":"Tatiana Nikitina","doi":"10.1075/fol.20001.nik","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/fol.20001.nik","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract This study presents a typology of existing approaches to logophoricity and discusses problems the different approaches face. It addresses, in particular, perspective-based accounts describing constructions with logophoric pronouns in terms of their intermediate position on the direct-indirect continuum (Evans 2013), and lexical accounts incorporating the idea of coreference with the reported speaker into the pronoun’s meaning, either through role-to-value mapping mechanisms (Nikitina 2012a, b), or through feature specification (Schlenker 2003a, b). The perspective-based approach is shown to be unsatisfactory when it comes to treating language-specific data in precise and cross-linguistically comparable terms. It fails to account, for example, for cross-linguistic differences in the behavior of logophoric pronouns, for their optionality, and for their close diachronic relationship to third person elements. Lexical accounts are better equipped to handle a variety of outstanding issues, but they, too, need to be revised to accommodate a variety of discourse phenomena associated with logophoricity, including alternation with first person pronouns. The proposed solution follows the lines of lexical approaches but aims at enriching the pronouns’ lexical representation with notions pertaining to narrative structure, such as the role of Narrator. A separate solution is proposed for treating conventionalized uses occurring outside speech and attitude reports.","PeriodicalId":44232,"journal":{"name":"Functions of Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48970144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
