Through this framework we investigate the interpretative repertoires invoked by the participants in their small stories of their everyday life with smartphones and discuss how they relate to territorial concerns.

Know-how, or the understanding needed for performing a manual skill, however, is necessarily grounded in the practitioner’s sensorial experience of their movements, the tools they use, and the materials they manipulate. As such, sensorial touch is essential to the learning of manual skills, and participants require means for making their sensory experience accessible to one another for coordinating instruction. Building on previous work in practical skills training, this study investigates instructional interactions in cadaveric workshops. Focusing on interactions where a) instructors demonstrate manual actions and articulate tactile experiences, b) trainees attempt to explore anatomical structures, and c) instructors evaluate those attempts, we analyse the embodied and material resources that participants use for making tactile experience accessible, assessable, and thereby instructable in interaction, and how the instruction are consequently organized in pursuing that end.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"100 ","pages":"Pages 77-94"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143100991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to such view, when a speaker utters a sentence containing a slur, she simultaneously performs two different speech acts, one of which, following Searle's taxonomy (Searle, 1975), is an expressive one. Although this view is a particular version of expressivism, it has many advantages over other versions of this theory. First, it allows a clearer definition of the expressive component of slurs by relating slurs with other sentences in which we express various attitudes, not only contempt. Second, it can explain descriptive ineffability drawing on the fact that non-representative speech acts cannot be reduced to representative ones. Third, it can respond to some powerful criticisms recently directed against expressivism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"100 ","pages":"Pages 108-121"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143100996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main analytical approach used in this study was Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA). It is a branch of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) that pays special attention to the sociopolitical contexts, allowing the researcher to go beyond purely linguistic analyses and focus on (both micro and meso) sociological implications. Therefore, the study analyzed the discourses through the lenses of securitization and embedding the findings into a broader discussion about migration in Poland. The paper demonstrates that the coverage of the events by both stations was radically different: the state television largely reproduced the discourse of the then ruling party, whereas the liberal TVN focused on the delegitimization of the then government and the border guard, accusing them of violating international law.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"99 ","pages":"Pages 259-273"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656566","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}

Drawing on a dataset of 200 chat logs sourced from two prominent Chinese social media platforms, this research identifies three major categories of refusal response strategies, encompassing 13 distinct types. The findings reveal that both job applicants and HR staff tend to accept refusals, albeit in differing manners. Applicants employ more diverse and verbose responses compared to HR. The study highlights applicants' heightened rapport management awareness, while HR's responses suggest a focus on impression management on behalf of their companies.
