The analysis combines principles of corpus linguistics and conversation analysis by adopting a new approach for the micro-diachronic analysis of spoken interaction. Quantitative and qualitative evidence and micro-diachronic visualizations of VOICE transcripts show how the three groups examined interactively develop group-specific multilingual practices. The analysis reveals that the three groups have different preferences in this respect. While two groups develop inclusive multilingual practices in the course of their interaction, one group shows a tendency to use multilingual practices exclusively, primarily in side sequences. In addition to multilingual use, the presence or absence of metalinguistic discussions about language (and languages) plays a role for creation of shared transcultural territory and the formation of group identity. These processes are indicative of how unacquainted multilingual speakers negotiate and develop pragmatic conventions more generally.</p>","PeriodicalId":52343,"journal":{"name":"Corpus Pragmatics","volume":"8 3","pages":"175-200"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11319520/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141983842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investigation employed lexical and pragmatic analyses to probe a corpus of 882 reader comments posted on the Detiknews website news articles regarding the policies adopted by the Jakarta governor to handle the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. Based on the corpus, we examined the linguistic expression of negative criticism from word frequency, the speech acts underlying the negative criticism, and the stances of the commenters. The results of the examination revealed that the most frequent words of the criticism comprised nouns, pronouns, and negation lexis. Overall, such terms were used by commenters to intensify the impact of their negative criticism. Meanwhile, the most dominant speech act underlying the criticism is evaluative. In this case, the commenters functioning as judges is also the most dominant role because of the one-to-one relationship between the speech act and the stance-taking role. Such commenters produced negative criticism on the Jakarta governor, driven primarily by their different political views.","PeriodicalId":52343,"journal":{"name":"Corpus Pragmatics","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136342351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
