Book Description
En 1932, A.H. Gardiner, le célèbre égyptologue, publie à Oxford The Theory of Speech and Language, résultat d'une longue réflexion sur la problématique du langage. Négation radicale d'une théorie immanentiste du langage, la théorie que propose Gardiner s'appuie sur l'analyse in vivo d'un acte de langage (act of speech) dans son intégralité - tout le parcours de la langue au discours. Ainsi appréhendé dans les conditions normales de production, le langage apparaît comme un moyen d'agir, plus précisèment comme un moyen pour le locuteur de provoquer un face à face avec son allocutaire, dans l'intention de le faire réagir - d'une manière ou d'une autre - à un certain état de choses. La théorie des actes de langage développée par l'auteur, dans la première partie de son livre, constitue le fondement de la théorie syntaxique qu'il expose dans la seconde partie. Deux composantes sont à prendre en compte dans l'analyse de la phrase, unité de discours: l'état de chose auquelle elle fait référence - son "contenu locutionnel" - et l'intention qui la sous-tend - sa "qualité particulière" ou, comme l'appelle depuis Austin, sa "force illocutoire". Les modalités élocutionnelle (prosodiques et kinésiques) et l'information d'arrière-plan fournie par la "situation" jouent un rôle fondamental dans la révélation de la force illocutoire et occupent ainsi une place centrale dans la théorie.Les recherches actuelles (étude des actes de langage, pragmatique, ethnographique et sociologie de la communication) témoignent de l'influence souterraine mais réelle de Gardiner, et il semble donc légitime de considérer Speech and Language comme l'un des textes majeurs de la linguistique du XXe siècle.

The Discourse of Indirectness
Author: Zohar Livnat
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027260567
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Indirectness has been a key concept in pragmatic research for over four decades, however the notion as a technical term does not have an agreed-upon definition and remains vague and ambiguous. In this collection, indirectness is examined as a way of communicating meaning that is inferred from textual, contextual and intertextual meaning units. Emphasis is placed on the way in which indirectness serves the representation of diverse voices in the text, and this is examined through three main prisms: (1) the inferential view focuses on textual and contextual cues from which pragmatic indirect meanings might be inferred; (2) the dialogic-intertextual view focuses on dialogic and intertextual cues according to which different voices (social, ideological, literary etc.) are identified in the text; and (3) the functional view focuses on the pragmatic-rhetorical functions fulfilled by indirectness of both kinds.

Dialogue Analysis IX: Dialogue in Literature and the Media, Part 1: Literature
Author: Anne Betten
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110946068
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 485
Book Description
These two volumes offer a selection of the papers held at the conference of the International Association for Dialogue Analysis (IADA) in 2003. Volume I contains 38 articles devoted to dialogue and the phenomenon of 'dialogicity' in literature, ranging from antiquity to a large number of modern languages and literatures. The conversation-analytic approaches drawn upon are notable for their methodological diversity. This is also true of the 32 articles in Volume II. The main focus here is on present-day types of dialogue in the new electronic media and their 'traditional' counterparts (press, radio, television, film). The examples are taken from various countries, and they are discussed in terms of the intercultural, semiotic, translatorial, and general pragmatic issues they pose.

Context and Appropriateness
Author: Anita Fetzer
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9789027254061
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This book departs from the premise that context and appropriateness represent complex relational configurations which can no longer be conceived as analytic primes but rather require the accommodation of micro and macro perspectives to capture their inherent dynamism. The edited volume presents a collection of papers which examine the connectedness between context and appropriateness from interdisciplinary perspectives. The papers use different theoretical frameworks, such as situation theory, speech act theory, cognitive pragmatics, sociopragmatics, discourse analysis, argumentation theory and functional linguistics. They reflect current moves in pragmatics and discourse analysis to cross disciplinary and methodological boundaries by integrating relevant premises and insights, in particular cognition, negotiation of meaning, sequentiality, recipient design and genre.

This book shows that the discourse of the Labour party 1994-2007, revolving around three key concepts of identity, narrative and metaphor, not only reflected new Labour's policy and organisational changes, but that it was also an essential part of its successful strategies of renovation and of power legitimation.

Discourse Readjustment(s) in Contemporary English
Author: Blandine Pennec
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119522501
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This study examines the linguistic tools which enable speakers and writers to propose adjustments and re-adjustments of the sentences they’ve just produced, as well as the goals they fulfil by doing so. We examine corrections, reformulations, specifications, modifications of points of views and link them with discursive strategies. (Re)-adjustments can be made in order to express oneself in a better way, to favor comprehension by adapting to the addressee, to structure one’s intervention, to play on the potentialities of language (polysemy, homonymy, ambiguity), to mention the main purposes associated with the use of those devices. The study focuses on the markers associated with those strategies. Therefore, it links the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels.

New Adventures in Language and Interaction
Author: Jürgen Streeck
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027256004
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
In this book sixteen international scholars of language and social interaction describe their distinct frameworks of analysis. Taking conversation analysis and interactional sociolinguistics as their points of departure and investigating ordinary conversation as well as institutions such as health care, therapy, and city council meetings, they often incorporate gesture, prosody, and the listener's behavior in the analysis of talk. While some approaches are grounded in a critique of the major schools of interaction analysis, others integrate the interactionist perspective with ideas from fields such as systemic-functional linguistics, distributed cognition, and the sociology of knowledge. Each chapter combines a statement of the terms and methods of analysis with an exemplary analysis of a moment of interaction. "New Adventures in Language and Interaction" gives an excellent overview of the novelty and diversity of interaction-focused perspectives on language and of the heterogeneity of approaches that have evolved from the pioneering work of Sacks and Schegloff, Gumperz, and their co-workers.

Verbal Communication
Author: Andrea Rocci
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110255472
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
Common sense tells us that verbal communication should be a central concern both for the study of communication and for the study of language. Language is the most pervasive means of communication in human societies, especially if we consider the huge gamut of communication phenomena where spoken and written language combines with other modalities, such as gestures or pictures. Most communication researchers have to deal with issues of language use in their work. Classic methods in communication research - from content analysis to interviews and questionnaires, not to mention the obvious cases of rhetorical analysis and discourse analysis - presuppose the understanding of the meaning of spontaneous or elicited verbal productions. Despite its pervasiveness, verbal communication does not currently define one cohesive and distinct subfield within the communication discipline. The Handbook of Verbal Communication seeks to address this gap. In doing so, it draws not only on the communication discipline, but also on the rich interdisciplinary research on language and communication that developed over the last fifty years as linguistics interacted with the social sciences and the cognitive sciences. The interaction of linguistic research with the social sciences has produced a plethora of approaches to the study of meanings in social context - from conversation analysis to critical discourse analysis, while cognitive research on verbal communication, carried out in cognitive pragmatics as well as in cognitive linguistics, has offered insights into the interaction between language, inference and persuasion and into cognitive processes such as framing or metaphorical mapping. The Handbook of Verbal Communication volume takes into account these two traditions selecting those issues and themes that are most relevant for communication scholars. It addresses background matters such as the evolution of human verbal communication and the relationship between verbal and non-verbal means of communication and offers a an extensive discussion of the explicit and implicit meanings of verbal messages, with a focus on emotive and figurative meanings. Conversation and fundamental types of discourse, such as argument and narrative, are presented in-depth, as is the key notion of discourse genre. The nature of writing systems as well as the interaction of spoken or written language with non-verbal modalities are devoted ample attention. Different contexts of language use are considered, from the mass media and the new media to the organizational contexts. Cultural and linguistic diversity is addressed, with a focus on phenomena such as multilingual communication and translation. A key feature of the volume is the coverage of verbal communication quality. Quality is examined both from a cognitive and from a social perspective. It covers topics that range from to the cognitive processes underlying deceptive communication to the methods that can be used to assess the quality of texts in an organizational context.
