It examines the frequency and percentage of persuasive\u0000 strategies deployed by fourteen Chinese real estate agents. Additionally, a qualitative analysis of each tactic is conducted,\u0000 supported by specific examples. The findings indicate that, in increasing order of frequency, persuasion attempts on the\u0000 participants’ WeChat Moments are primarily realized through rational, ethos, and emotional appeals. The determinants of this\u0000 strategic inclination are examined with respect to the anonymity afforded by the Internet, media effect, community of practice and\u0000 Chinese cultural particulars.","PeriodicalId":515853,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics.

“It’s nothing serious, take it easy” "没什么大碍,别紧张"

However, to date, there is a paucity of research focusing on doctors’ emotion-regulating strategies\u0000 and their effects on online medical consultation (OMC). In this connection, drawing on the concept of extrinsic emotion\u0000 regulation, this paper analyzes empirically the doctors’ strategies in regulating patients’ emotions and examines the effects\u0000 based on data from Dingxiang Yisheng, one of the largest online medical consultation platforms in China. It is\u0000 found that doctors deploy extensive discourse of relational work and diagnosis to regulate patients’ negative emotions. Comments\u0000 from patients not only reveal the effectiveness of doctors’ strategies in alleviating negative emotions but also showcase that\u0000 patients attribute the relief of their emotions to doctors’ expertise, attitude, response speed, and communication skills. All\u0000 these findings contribute to theoretical insights into emotion regulation and have practical implications for online\u0000 doctor-patient communication.","PeriodicalId":515853,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics.

A relevance-theoretic analysis of Colloquial Singapore English hor 新加坡口语英语角的相关性理论分析

In this paper, I propose, using a\u0000 relevance-theoretic framework, that hor encodes the procedural content that the proposition it marks is\u0000 accessible to the addressee, i.e. it can be readily recalled by the addressee. Pronouncing hor with a rising or\u0000 falling intonational contour then indicates that this procedural content should be interpreted as a question or directive\u0000 respectively – a rising contour indicates a check on whether the hor-marked proposition is accessible to the\u0000 addressee, while a falling contour indicates an instruction to the addressee to make the hor-marked proposition\u0000 accessible. This analysis also accounts for hor’s unacceptability with directives that seek to impose a new\u0000 obligation on the addressee that requires immediate action, which has not been previously observed in the literature.","PeriodicalId":515853,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics.

Metaphors to describe sanctions against Iran in American and Iranian newspapers 美国和伊朗报纸中描述制裁伊朗的比喻

Following Charteris-Black’s (2004) framework for\u0000 Critical Metaphor Analysis, sixty editorial news texts (thirty for each), since 2013 until 2021, were scrutinized for the CMs in\u0000 the two corpora. The findings revealed that although both newspapers took advantage of the metaphors in description of the\u0000 sanctions against Iran, there were significant differences between them in the employment of the CMs. The American newspaper\u0000 enjoyed more frequent and diverse metaphors to represent the sanctions compared to the Iranian newspaper, and “SAI is a\u0000 pain/illness” (22.7%) was the most frequent conceptual metaphor in the New York Times whereas “SAI is a human”\u0000 (32.4%) and “SAI is a journey” (18.9%) were the common metaphors in Iran Daily. The results suggest how language\u0000 could be manipulated to serve different purposes.","PeriodicalId":515853,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics.

Prosodic features of polite speech 礼貌用语的拟声特征

We asked fourteen Korean speakers to perform two tasks with two different interlocutors: a status superior and a friend.\u0000 Consistent with previous studies of non-interactional data, deferential speech has lower pitch and shimmer, and quieter final\u0000 syllables. However, divergent from previous studies, deferential speech featured higher jitter (in some locations), higher shimmer\u0000 and higher H1-H2 (on one task). Through analysis of different locations in prosodic structure, we found that females used more\u0000 pitch variation on final syllables in deferential speech. We argue that these mixed results show the importance of context in\u0000 signalling vocal politeness, and also complexities of using interactional data. The findings advance the study of multimodal\u0000 politeness beyond the analysis of experimental data.","PeriodicalId":515853,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics.

The use of the non-lexical sound öö in Hungarian same-turn self-repair 匈牙利语同转向自修复中非词汇音 öö 的使用

Since\u0000 self-repair inherently prevents the turn from progressing towards possible completion, by deploying the non-lexical\u0000 öö in the course of the three repair operations, speakers can vocalize and promise continuation without\u0000 producing lexical elements. Öö thus serves as a delaying technique and an indication that the speaker is aware of\u0000 the obligation to make the unit-under-way recognizably complete, and is ready to satisfy this obligation. When the\u0000 turn-in-progress is halted and verbally marked with öö in the course of the three repair operations under\u0000 investigation, the speaker displays to the other participants that the turn is problematic in some respects, but she is ready to\u0000 attend to the problem in order to produce a recognizably complete action.","PeriodicalId":515853,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatics.

A smaller category of implicit compliments involved such\u0000 strategies as comparison/contrast, rhetorical questions, and\u0000 praising contestant’s country.

Multiple repair solutions in response to open class repair initiators (OCRIs) in next turn 下一轮响应开放类修复启动器(OCRI)的多种修复方案

Using conversation analytic procedures, the\u0000 analysis reveals that speakers may offer multiple repair solutions following an OCRI, which appear oriented to a potential problem\u0000 of understanding rather than one of hearing. The participants combine repetition of the trouble-source turn with\u0000 comprehension-enhancing techniques such as lexical replacement, rephrasing of prior talk and explication of potentially\u0000 problematic words.
