Abstract It has been hypothesized that an increase in literacy within a society is associated with more negative perceptions of aging and older adults. The present study empirically tested this premise among the Dani in West Papua. Sixty-one Dani participants were asked to nominate two individuals within each of the following categories: (1) most respected, (2) best source of life advice, and (3) most satisfied with life. They also reported the age and gender of the nominees. Literacy was associated with nominating younger targets in the life advice and life satisfaction categories. These results add evidence that literacy is associated with perceptions of older adults. We conclude by discussing the scholarly and practical implications of these findings.

Abstract Parents are often considered the pivotal stakeholders in Family Language Policy (FLP). However, grandparents are increasingly acting as surrogate parents among multi- generational families around the globe including in dual-career families in Singapore. Analysing family interactions and interviews, this study examines how grandparent’s language ideologies contribute to shaping the language ideology, management, and practices of the family, even to the extent of overwriting and becoming the dominant voice in the family’s FLP. Our findings show that the grandparents seem to be driving the shift towards English. In addition, the negotiation of FLP within the Singaporean context pro- vides insight into how ideologies and the choice of languages can be deeply intertwined with harmony within the family unit and respect for one’s elders.

Abstract The article proposes a multimodal discourse semantics approach to the analysis of video game tutorials that provides a discourse pragmatic analysis of the game canvases in these tutorials. The study mainly builds on linguistic approaches to formal dynamic discourse semantics that have already been successfully applied to other multimodal artefacts. The article will showcase the application of the resulting ‘logic of multimodal discourse interpretation’ to two specific cases of video game tutorials. This will outline particular discourse relations holding between events and segments in the tutorials as distinctive features of this video game genre and show the discursive patterns of these instructions.

Trivializing language correctness in an online metalinguistic debate

Anna Heuman, Örebro University, School of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences, Örebro, Sweden

Abstract This study focuses on trivialization as a key strategy for challenging subjects who defend standard language, and for challenging standard language ideology in itself. While pre- vious research has emphasized trivialization as a strategy for perpetuating the status quo, this study exemplifies the opposite function. Drawing on stance theory, the analysis focuses on the formation of the participating subjects and the stance object (linguistic correctness), and the link between them. The data consist of 157 posts from two blog comments sections, 32 of which trivialize linguistic correctness. The analysis shows that interlocutors mainly trivialize linguistic correctness through negative other-positioning, thus avoiding explicit metalinguistic arguments. Furthermore, the study illustrates and underlines how language ideological meaning is created in contention by emphasizing differences.

Abstract A central aim of experts, officials, and citizens meeting in the context of policymaking is to organize their encounters in ways that enable them to learn about the other’s perspectives – that is, to engage in “dialogue”. However, what is less understood are the interactional trajectories over which these transformative engagements are pursued. Using conversa- tion analysis and drawing on a corpus of recorded Dutch public meetings on livestock farming, we identify a template describing one way “dialogue” unfolds. Key to this tem- plate is organizers’ query that retroactively invokes citizens’ apparent trouble and invites discussion of it. Citizens respond by elaborating the issue, resulting in participants’ displays of understanding conveying a state of transformation. We discuss the implications for dialogue theory and practice.

期刊简介

This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics.

该期刊的独特之处在于它提供了一个致力于语言和交际的跨学科研究的论坛。语言及其交际功能的研究是应用语言学、儿童发展、文化研究、话语分析、思想史、法律研究、语言进化、语言人类学、语言学、哲学、政治学、语言学、语用学、心理学、修辞学、符号学和社会语言学等领域的共同关注点。

The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries. 

该期刊欢迎学者探讨当前研究对建立共同理论框架的影响；在该框架内，可以容纳和关联来自不同研究领域的发现。通过关注语言与其他形式的交流活动和互动行为相结合的多种方式，该期刊旨在鼓励不受现有学科界限限制的语言和交际研究方法。
