Such responses\u0000 minimize the debt incurred by the thanker and serve purposes of negative politeness. The history of responses to thanks has\u0000 received only brief attention (Jacobsson 2002; Jucker 2020; Taavitsainen and Jucker 2020). Most of the contemporary\u0000 responses to thanks (e.g., no problem and you bet) are of quite recent origin. Those that\u0000 “express pleasure” (the pleasure was mine) appear in the late-nineteenth century, while those that express\u0000 “verbal acknowledgment” (all right, okay) appear in the twentieth century. The increase of minimizing responses\u0000 is consonant with a trend toward negative politeness, while the loss of the deferential forms found in Early Modern English\u0000 (your humble servant) reflects the rise of camaraderie politeness. Responses to thanks have also undergone\u0000 “attenuation” (Jucker 2019), evidenced by the appearance of short forms\u0000 (welcome), the rise of verbal acknowledgment types, and the increasing use of such responses as\u0000 conversational closers.","PeriodicalId":446907,"journal":{"name":"Historical Pragmatics today","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132854935","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}

The topic of this paper is the rise of the specialized concessive construction “but (be) X all\u0000 the same”. In the full rhetorical formula of which it is a part, X is initially represented as not having properties Y but\u0000 nevertheless as having sufficient other relevant properties to be classified as X, as in “…fear. It is not the eye-rolling,\u0000 quaking fear seen in police states, but it is fear all the same” (1963 coha). Here the writer concedes that there is fear\u0000 despite Y (see Horn [1991] on “redundant information”) and invites the addressee to\u0000 reinterpret the initial X retrospectively (see Haselow [2013] on functions of “final\u0000 particles”). Using data mainly from clmet3.0 and coha, I discuss the conventionalization of this construction in\u0000 terms of Diachronic Construction Grammar and argue alongside, for example, Goldberg\u0000 (2004); Cappelle (2017) and Finkbeiner\u0000 (2019) that pragmatics should be given a larger role in construction grammar than has often been the case in the\u0000 past.","PeriodicalId":446907,"journal":{"name":"Historical Pragmatics today","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114821883","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}

Looking for concepts in Early Modern English 寻找早期现代英语中的概念

The project mapped prominent lexical co-occurrences across the two hundred years of publications in Early English Books Online (eebo-tcp; Text Creation Partnership edition), yielding concept models – constellations of non-adjacent lemmas that consistently co-occur across spans of up to 100 tokens. The goal was to map meaning onto concept models as “discursive concepts”, using encyclopaedic knowledge, pragmatic analysis and context.\u0000The first question concerns the effectiveness of making early hypotheses about the discursive meaning of concept models based on the inferred connections between the lemmas in a quad constellation. The second question is whether the meaning of frequent, apparently stable concept models changes upon their closer scrutiny in the discourses they lead us into. A reader familiar with the particular universe of discourse in which these quads occur, and with the social, historical, literary and philosophical traditions, and the context that they occupy, might be effectively primed by their encyclopaedic knowledge to hypothesise this discursive meaning. This paper demonstrates the efficacy of hypothesis building using encyclopaedic knowledge and pragmatic analysis to interpret optimally relevant concept models.","PeriodicalId":446907,"journal":{"name":"Historical Pragmatics today","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128707866","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}

The method employed is qualitative discourse analysis in its sociohistorical context. Two different lines of development emerge. The first issue of pt contains a book review that set a model genre script by surveying the contents and providing a concise positive evaluation at the end. gm published few book reviews at first but their number increased towards 1800. pt keeps to the positive end of evaluation with discreet criticism, while gm speech acts range from praising compliments to aggressive insults. The former trend goes back to book advertisements and the latter to scientific disputes; but in general, polite society conventions prevail in both publications.","PeriodicalId":446907,"journal":{"name":"Historical Pragmatics today","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124239053","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}

Nevertheless, despite recent advances in the compilation and especially the\u0000 sociopragmatic annotation of corpora, EModE pragmatic markers have not been studied extensively over the last decade. This article\u0000 addresses this gap by offering an investigation into the sociopragmatic nature of interjections in EModE drama comedy. It is based\u0000 on the sociopragmatically annotated Drama Corpus which includes a total of 242,561 words from the period 1500 to 1760. Taking a\u0000 data-driven, form-to-function mapping approach, this study explores the use of interjections in the Drama Corpus\u0000 with a focus on their distribution according to sociopragmatic variables. The aim of this study is to contribute to reaching a\u0000 more comprehensive understanding of pragmatic marker use in EModE.","PeriodicalId":446907,"journal":{"name":"Historical Pragmatics today","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132127775","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}

This paper investigates\u0000 whether politeness reciprocity works similarly in early modern English – specifically, in the plays of Shakespeare. Focussing on\u0000 thanking behaviours, the questions of whether politeness reciprocity can be detected, and, if so, how social status might\u0000 influence the nature of reciprocity, are addressed. The first part of the paper establishes that Early Modern English politeness\u0000 behaviours were being discussed in terms associated with reciprocity (e.g., metaphors relating to balance and financial/commercial\u0000 transactions). Then, all the instances of the two main thanking formula patterns (the verbal first person pronoun +\u0000 thanks + second person pronoun and the nominal thanks) were extracted from\u0000 thirty-eight plays attributed wholly or substantially to Shakespeare, and coded for a number of variables, including the\u0000 weightiness of the gift for which thanks has been given, the amount of effort expended in performing thanks, and the social\u0000 statuses of the Thanker and Thankee. The results show that reciprocity does govern thanking behaviours, and that social status\u0000 licences imbalances in those behaviours. The paper also touches on conventionalisation.","PeriodicalId":446907,"journal":{"name":"Historical Pragmatics today","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131404942","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}
