Results support a view of children's social-semiotic landscapes as rich and expanding; children as young as 5 volunteer a wide range of social indexes, but substantive comments increase in developmental time. Children use personal and local information early and often. Developmental increases in comments relying on more public or evaluative social knowledge suggest a developmental process building outward from the personal to the public. Children offer a window into the vibrant scaffolding process that all language users utilize, connecting language to the social in a local and dialogic process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139675379","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 paper examines how journalators sought to render the verb and re-narrate that particular discursive instance, largely judged as vulgar, divisive and improper for a head of state, in order to save or aggravate the French president's face through selective appropriation and reframing. It draws on narrative theory of translation as developed by Mona Baker (2005, 2006, 2010), and explores the concept of facework (Goffmann, 1967; Brown and Levinson, 1978, 1987; Bull and Fetzer, 2010) and the notion of ethos (Mainguenau, 2002, 2014) to analyze from a critical discourse analytic perspective a corpus of press articles in English and Greek. The results of both quantitative and qualitative analysis indicate that there is an array of lexical choices and strategies to intensify or attenuate vulgarity and offensiveness and save or aggravate Macron's image. The study has also confirmed the role of ideology and ideological positioning in the choice not only of lexical choices but also what is selected or deselected to be translated.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139419414","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}

Based on a corpus of Hansard debates from 1800 to 2005, we analyse MPs' explicit references to ‘voice’ in parliamentary debates. We aim to explore the salience of ‘voice’ for MPs and of different aspects of voice as a vehicle for expressing political will.

Our overall argument is that, as a general feature of language resulting from the indeterminacy of meaning at all levels of language, ambiguity can be taken advantage of in specific contexts for a host of purposes. Given that an ambiguous utterance has (at least) two possible meanings – A and B – there are two logical possibilities for a speaker in a deliberate ambiguity: to mean both A and B or to mean only A (or B). However, a closer examination of the literature and available data reveal a far more complicated picture: there are more strategies under either of these possibilities, each of which closely interacts with the context and is motivated by the speaker's purpose of communication in that context. The treatment of deliberate ambiguity in the present study is thus more coherent theoretically and more comprehensive in coverage than what is found in the sizable literature on the subject.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027153092300068X/pdfft?md5=86c5f69675dad8fa2dd7cdcd8db6de50&pid=1-s2.0-S027153092300068X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138569134","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}
