Previous studies have demonstrated that\u0000 millennials (i.e., those born between 1981 and 1999) are the most representative generational cohort regarding their interests in\u0000 activities organized around BlaBlaCar and similar sites (Činjarević, Kožo and Berberović\u0000 2019). One direct consequence of this fact is that the way in which millennials communicate in this particular affinity\u0000 space (Gee 2005; Jenkins 2006) may be highly\u0000 informative of their discursive identities (Bucholtz and Hall 2005).\u0000 Against this backdrop, this study examines 1,000 online reviews taken from www.BlablaCar.es, in order to, first, understand how millennials conceptualize\u0000 their experiences in BlaBlaCar; second, examine how identity emerges through labels and implicatures (Bucholtz and Hall 2005); and third, discuss and understand the relationship between the discourse\u0000 identity shaped in BlaBlaCar reviews and millennials’ social identity. The findings reveal that BlaBlaCar reviews are highly\u0000 informative of users’ identities and their relational needs. Also, these reviews no longer comply with traditional definitions of\u0000 ‘consumer reviews’, and a re-conceptualization is needed.","PeriodicalId":46975,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics","volume":"216 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74122374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis focuses on Japanese non-reciprocal conversations between senpai ‘senior’ and kōhai ‘junior’ interactants, where the kōhai are normatively expected to speak using the honorific desu/masu markers. The analysis demonstrates that in such conversations, the kōhai sometimes drop the honorific markers while repeating the senpai’s utterances, thereby momentarily transcending the vertical boundary separating them from the senpai. Two types of plain form repetition are presented: (1) the kōhai repeat the senpai’s funny and/or questionable comments to savor the expressions, and (2) the kōhai repeat the senpai’s ideas, wishes or assessments to synchronize with the senpai. The analysis explicates how cross-speaker repetition allows the kōhai to drop the honorific markers in a way that is acceptable to the senpai. This study underscores the significance of the cross-speaker repetition device for creating harmonious relationships in Japanese.","PeriodicalId":46975,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89830856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses this difference and discusses its evolution. The main question addressed\u0000 in this paper is: How has Hebrew bilti, originally an exceptive marker (with sentential scoping), ended up\u0000 functioning solely as a privative in contemporary Hebrew? First, this paper argues that the biblical usage of\u0000 bilti was expanded and turned into a polyfunctional (or ‘polysemous’) item. This happened via a\u0000 constructionalization process which led to grammatical changes (‘grammaticalization’): The initially implicated negation (via a\u0000 generalized implicature) turned explicit (semantic). In addition, in Hebrew’s later periods, the usage of bilti\u0000 was narrowed and it became a privative. Thus, firstly, a pragmatically motivated path of constructionalization of\u0000 bilti in Biblical Hebrew is suggested. That is, the “pragmatic negation” that arose via a generalized\u0000 implicature shifted to the semantic level (performing semantic negation, explicit negation). Secondly, bilti’s\u0000 functions in post-biblical Hebrew periods are outlined, tracing its narrowing functions until its fixation in Contemporary Hebrew\u0000 as a privative.","PeriodicalId":46975,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77134427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Dunmire’s (2005) proposed framework and further explorations by Cap (2020)\u0000 on the subject, we approach twenty of Trump’s speeches on Iran, from 2017–2020. Our analyses indicated that the construction of\u0000 alternative futures is modified by the evaluations of Iran’s past-to-present status and the politics of preemption. This\u0000 relationship modifies the speaker’s epistemic judgment on the certainty of the privileged future, the cause-effect relation, and\u0000 the sceptic views on the successful implementation of preemptive measures, resulting in the articulation of the privileged future through\u0000 probabilistic and dynamic modalities. Moreover, the privileged future is conceptualised as necessary through deontic modality. By\u0000 contrast, the realisation of the oppositional future is articulated through unmediated modality pinpointing the status that will\u0000 materialise in light of inaction and negligence.","PeriodicalId":46975,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72709582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While in their\u0000 primary use, proper names uniquely denote specific individuals and have no meaning on their own, in their secondary uses, they act\u0000 as common nouns, capable of conveying non-literal meanings. In relevance theory, such non-literal uses can be explained in terms\u0000 of lexical modulation or ad hoc concept formation. The analysis of selected examples shows that while some of the XYZ\u0000 constructions can be seen as metaphors, others are better described as category extensions, and it substantiates the\u0000 relevance-theoretic claim that there is no clear cut-off point between the two varieties of loose use.","PeriodicalId":46975,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics","volume":"416 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72505864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the first study aiming to\u0000 discursively analyze how other-justified discourses, i.e., enhancing objectivity and trustworthiness through other people’s\u0000 comments, contribute to obtaining potential donors’ trust in Chinese online medical crowdfunding encounters. Through the discourse\u0000 analysis of 496 other-justified comments on fifty pieces of fully-funded online medical crowdfunding projects, it is found that\u0000 four different types of people (a family member, a person in the same business or occupation, a classmate, a friend) offer\u0000 evidence through other-justified discourses oriented towards ethos, experience, and emotion. The Wu-Lun (five\u0000 ethic orders) in the acquaintance society is the underlying theoretical rationale that supports the credibility of other-justified\u0000 discourse, which provides a novel research perspective for the dissemination and transitivity of trust in online medical\u0000 crowdfunding. The findings serve to offer commenters an array of other-justified orientations and identity choices to engage more\u0000 prospective backers in a medical donative event. The results highlight that crowdfunders not only need to display a compelling\u0000 narrative strength but also raise awareness to enhance the trustworthiness of their projects, especially focusing on shreds of\u0000 evidence provided by a third-person comment.","PeriodicalId":46975,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81469033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this vein, our objectives are first, to analyse the evidentials and boosters most frequently used in these debates and relate them to the speakers’ goals, and second, to contrast the use of these devices with the results of the referendum. Data were quantitatively analysed with METOOL, a tool specifically developed to detect metadiscoursal strategies.

It is argued that this “personalization” characteristic of Chinese directive public signs suggests their producers’ attempt at doing rapport with the public.
