Descortesía en las páginas de Facebook de festivales de música
2015
El presente artículo se centra en las interacciones que se desarrollan en Facebook (FB), el conocido sitio web de redes sociales que también es un recurso para la comunicación, y la promoción turística. Nos planteamos caracterizar este contexto sociocultural específico, que abarca comportamientos, actitudes y valores conocidos, aceptados y practicados en una comunidad discursiva, para luego describir el fenómeno de la descortesía en un corpus acotado de páginas de Facebook de festivales musicales, ofreciendo algunas reflexiones sobre sus características y sus funciones. This article focuses on interaction in Facebook (FB), as one of the best known and effective social media networks for mar…
Spatial interaction in Sámiland: Regulative and transitory chronotopes in the dynamic multilingual landscape of an indigenous Sámi village
2013
Using the example of the linguistic landscape of an indigenous Sámi village in northern Scandinavia, this article explores multilingualism in public signs located in public spaces of the village. Based on long-standing ethnographic and discourse analytical research on multilingualism in the spaces and practices in the peripheral locality of Sámiland, I will focus on the temporal and spatial dimensions of the signs. In this, Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope is applied. Two chronotopes are identified and examined with regard to language change, mobility and multilingualism in public spaces. It is argued that linguistic landscapes often highlight spatial normativity and creativity, as well…
'Tell Us Only What You Know': Evidentiality in the Discourse of Participants in Spanish Trials
2019
El objetivo de esta propuesta es explorar el uso de la evidencialidad en los juicios españoles y su relación con las convenciones del género y los roles de los participantes en estos eventos discursivos. Para ello, basamos nuestro estudio en un análisis cuantitativo-cualitativo de un corpus transcrito de ensayos orales en español. La evidencialidad es una categoría semántico-funcional que incluye dispositivos lingüísticos que marcan la fuente de información detrás de las declaraciones del hablante. El marcado explícito de la fuente no es obligatorio en español; sin embargo, en géneros específicos (legal, parlamentario y académico), se convierte en una poderosa herramienta argumentativa para…
Discourse markers and modality in spoken Catalan: The case of (és) clar
2012
Abstract The present paper illustrates the fuzzy limits between modality markers and discourse markers by analysing the different uses based on the word clar ‘clear’ in oral Catalan. Clar is lexically described as an adjective, but it has developed different functions in various syntactic and pragmatic contexts. In the adverbial and the interjective uses, (es) clar (que) ‘it is clear that’ is a modality marker indicating certainty and shared knowledge. As a conjunction, clar que has developed a concessive meaning (‘but, nevertheless’). When (es) clar acts as a discourse marker (i.e. introducing an utterance) it can be an effective mitigation device used to soften a potentially face-threaten…
Las funciones interactivas del marcador español ‘¿no?’ Las fronteras entre la atenuación y la protección de la imagen
2020
In this paper the functions of the Spanish discourse marker ?no? are analysed from a pragmatic and an interactive perspective. Specifically, we explore the values of ?no? taking the pragmatic phenomena of mitigation and boosting, as well as the notion of affiliation as described in conversation analysis. The previous literature devoted to the study of this linguistic form has consistently identified its uses as a confirmation request or a phatic device (Fuentes, 1990, 2009; Santos Rio, 2003; Garcia Vizcaino, 2005; Montanez, 2008, 2015; Rodriguez Munoz, 2009; Moccero, 2010; Santana, 2017). This work, however, analyses how the mitigating uses interact and share features with neighbouring cate…
Co-occurrence of discourse markers in Catalan and Spanish oral narrative
2009
The analysis of oral narratives in Catalan and Spanish highlights the frequency, variety and importance of co-occurring discourse markers. A detailed study of the formal aspects of co-occurrences leads to differentiating three degrees of integration of markers: juxtaposition, addition and composition. These types can be related to dominant category patterns, positions in the narrative and also functional domains (namely, propositional, structural and modal). The analysis and extensive exemplification suggests that co-occurrences based on the addition and composition of markers behave and contribute to discourse cohesion in a special way.
Corpus-driven insights into the discourse of women survivors of Intimate Partner Violence
2018
Despite its ubiquity, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is still under-researched from a Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) perspective. Thus, this paper investigates the discourse of women survivors of IPV focusing on a corpus-driven examination of the data. This is done after applying the text-analysis software tool LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) to a 120,000-word corpus collected from an anonymised, public, online forum available to IPV survivors. I contrast a plethora of linguistic phenomena in three online communities embedded within this forum (‘Is it Abuse?’, ‘Getting out’ and ‘Life after abuse’) in the attempt to sketch out how the discursive output varies across these three s…
Multilingual dynamics in Sámiland: Rhizomatic discourses on changing language
2013
Multilingualism in indigenous language communities brings forth tensions and creativity related to language change. In this article, taking dynamic multilingual indigenous Sámi language practices as a focus of ethnographic and discourse analytical research, I examine rhizomatic discourses on changing language in multilingual Sámi spaces. Based on longitudinal research on multilingualism in Sámiland, I will argue that the interlinked discourses of endangerment, commodification and carnivalisation simultaneously circulate across Sámi spaces, and structure language practices and experiences. Furthermore, multilingual dynamics can lead to both contestation and creativity in language practices,…
‘Full power despite stress’: A discourse analytical examination of the interconnectedness of postfeminism and neoliberalism in the domain of work in …
2013
Stories and images of successful career women and support for women’s advancement in working life have become hallmarks of contemporary postfeminist media culture, and especially of women’s magazines such as Cosmopolitan. While in previous research these features have been seen as signs for a new, popular feminism, more recently they have also been connected to the growing hegemony of neoliberal governance, a mode of power that ultimately aims at the economization of the social and is fundamentally exercised in and through discourse. The aim of this article is to investigate further the interconnectedness of these two phenomena, postfeminism and neoliberalism, in the domain of work, using …
