I analyze the scalar configurations emerging in the report’s narrative argumentation with the goal of denaturalizing its scale-making narratives in the production of a ‘common-sense’ regimentation of the value of language learning and multilingualism in the United States. These configurations show how social inequalities in access to language learning are reinforced through the ideologically mapped categorizations of language to sociocultural domains and kinds of speakers. Nomically- and reportively-calibrated, future-oriented narratives present figurations of growth and progress that mix nationalist ideologies of US expansionism, neoliberal and raciolinguistic logics, and even utopian visions. By focusing on scale, and in particular on interscalar processes of comparison, the resonances across these sometimes contradictory ideological frames are brought into focus.","PeriodicalId":47598,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265979","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}

Data were recorded from live coverage of recent national and international football competitions. The analysis shows how ‘listen’ plays a role in what is referred to as prospective expertise: the work accomplished during the extensive pre-game build-up sections of a show, in which pundits engage in highlighting potential points of drama or sporting adversity to be anticipated in the game that is yet to be played. Three patterns are identified, in which different sequential positionings of ‘listen’ yield differing kinds of statements or evaluations, assessments, predictions and caveats regarding the forthcoming game.","PeriodicalId":47598,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265980","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}

I focus on two strategies that she deploys: the mixing of chronotopes associated with different scales of formality/publicness within the same story, and the use of downscaling strategies to reduce the formality of public chronotopes. More specifically, I analyze her alternation in the same story of images evoking chronotopes related to different domains of her life which can be placed on divergent scales on the public/private and formal/informal continuum. I also show how she uses downscaling strategies such as introducing her dog within chronotopes related to her role as a politician, establishing interpersonal connections, or talking about personal issues to reduce the distance between herself as a politician and her followers. This article thus contributes both to the study of the relationships between chronotopes and scales and to the analysis of communication strategies by politicians.","PeriodicalId":47598,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177719","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 article, I analyze a selection of cancel culture narratives published in mainstream media outlets, focusing on how narrators define the here-and-now and project it into the future. I argue that in order to represent cancel culture as an “epidemic” of “ruining people’s lives over a single mistake,” these narratives must engage in strategic scaling processes that: (1) frame the event(s) prompting the cancellation as “a single mistake”; (2) frame the consequences as “ruining” someone’s “life”; and (3) frame the incident not an individual injustice but as a burgeoning cultural problem—an occurrence that is already too frequent and only becoming more so. This analysis demonstrates the central role that narrators’ scalar framings play in shaping the narrative’s moral and political implications.","PeriodicalId":47598,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177718","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}

Participants talked about actual alongside hypothetical or counterfactual events surrounding their families’ rescue from Nazi-occupied Europe in the summer of 1940, thanks to then-illegal visas from ‘righteous gentile’ Aristides de Sousa Mendes. Specifically, participants recounted how their families were actually rescued, and what would have happened without Sousa Mendes’s actions (i.e. their family’s likely deportation and murder). They calibrated actual and hypothetical narrated chronotopes to multiple ‘present’ chronotopes: (a) that of the speech event; (b) that of speakers’ ongoing survival and their family members’ existence; and (c) that of timeless, nomic truths which narrators take the narrative to illustrate. Such alignments and disjunctures of multiple pasts and presents constitute a complex type of interdiscursivity, or more specifically, heterochronicity.","PeriodicalId":47598,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Studies","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177720","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 study, we examine coffee cup fortune-telling as a discourse type and analyse the sociocultural and linguistic characteristics of this intimate and interactional data among 25 Turkish-speaking women who are close friends. The data consists of 22 informal, naturally-occurring and face-to-face coffee cup reading sessions which correspond to 2 hours 40 minutes of audio recordings. Our analyses reveal that Turkish women use culture-specific semiotic and linguistic resources as tools of reflection and persuasion in this jointly constructed discourse. We also argue that coffee cup readings provide opportunities for establishing solidarity through engaging the speakers in troubles talk.","PeriodicalId":47598,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Studies","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177721","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 study, therefore, examines participants’ orientation to cultural values and their contribution(s) to the dispute resolution process. The study adopted Levinson’s notion of activity types and functionalism theory of culture. Data comprises purposively selected taped hearing sessions and documented cases between 2010 and 2017 in three southwestern Nigerian universities: the University of Ibadan, Adekunle and Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), where alternative dispute resolution is practised. The findings reveal that Nigerian alternative resolution encounters are punctuated with conservative-traditional, liberal and noncompromising cultural orientations. Conservative-traditional cultural orientation is expressed through male, sexual and children ownership supremacy cultural scripts; liberal cultural orientation is articulated through fatherhood, marked female support position and patience cultural scripts, while non-compromising cultural orientation is voiced through (dis)respect, (dis)obedience, (im)patience, non-submission and caution cultural scripts. The study concludes that culture plays a vital role in restoring societal peace.","PeriodicalId":47598,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Studies","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177730","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}

Keyness and concordance analyses show that these texts reflect, construct and negotiate identity construction in various ways to ultimately support citizen participation in scientific processes. Scientists primarily construct a professional identity through self-representation markers (‘we’ pronouns). They present themselves as credible professionals, aligned with the socially established values and ideologies of the scientific community. In addition, they appear to create a collective identity to promote empathy and to encourage and maintain citizen engagement in scientific processes. However, processes of indexicality and relationality – that is positioning and dialogism – reveal that the construction of a professional identity is consistently made more relevant than a collective expert-crowd identity, thus exposing overt power asymmetries. Even when dialogue between experts and nonexperts is encouraged, all the monologic and dialogic interactions established by the hypertext structure of the project sites reflect power imbalances.","PeriodicalId":47598,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Studies","volume":"146 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141863412","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}
