One focus lies on institutional contexts, in which the authors examine standardization, language policy and the implementation of usage norms. In the context of language learning, the authors investigate cognitive strategies of L2 norm construction by initial learners, L2 norms in grammars as well as interactional norms regulating teacher behavior. Finally, the volume theoretically explores the nature of discourse norms and examines their management and metadiscursive formulation in a variety of communicative activities and genres.

In diesem Artikel geht es um die Beschreibungs- und Interpretationspraktiken, mit denen Wissenschaftler Bilder, die sie während bestimmter Tätigkeiten produzieren, auswerten, als Belege heranziehen, in Frage stellen. Besonderes Interesse gilt der interaktiven Dynamik, durch welche Bilder den praktischen Anforderungen des Moments gemäss als geordnet, sinnvoll und nützlich konstituiert werden. Die Analyse dieser Praktiken basiert auf Transkripten von Diskussionen, während denen Chirurgen aus verschiedenen medizinischen Teams per Videokonferenz Meinungen und Ratschläge zu schwierigen klinischen Fällen austauschen. Der Beitrag analysiert die Verwendung von Bildern in der Präsentation eines klinischen Falls, ihre «Aneignung» durch ein Mitglied eines anderen Teams während der Diskussion und der Kommentierung von Bildern im Off sowie während informellen Gesprächen innerhalb eines Teams. Diese verschiedenen Kontexte geben einen Einblick in die sprachliche und interaktive Dynamik, durch die Bilder den praktischen Anforderungen der Diagnosestellung gemäss interpretiert, beschrieben und kommentiert werden. Die Analyse zeigt die Relevanz der Formen und sequenziellen Organisation von Bildbeschreibungen und hebt die Kontextgebundenheit und die kollaborative Dimension der Verwendung von medizinischen Bildern hervor.

Accordingly, the contributors to the project, who have all presented their work during the 2nd Argumentation and Language conference, which took place in Lugano in February 2018,1 have been specifically instructed to produce papers which explicitly tackle the importance of the study of meaning for that of argumentative practices. All papers therefore cover at least one aspect of this complex relationship between argumentation and meaning, which contributes to delivering a state-of-the-art panorama on the issue. Drawing from computational linguistics, semantics, pragmatics and discourse analysis, the contributions to this special issue will illuminate how the study of meaning in its different forms may provide valuable insights for the study of people’s argumentative practices in different contexts, ranging from the political ...

We show that users position themselves as legitimate contributors by conforming to genre conventions that are central in official reviews, in particular to the requirement that the reviewer must possess direct knowledge of the reviewed object. Other genre norms are not observed, thus adapting the genre to the context of comment spaces.

Pragmatics & Beyond New Series, 2007

The condatt allows the speaker to allude to the existence of pragmatic prerequisites for his/her utterance without presenting them as taken for granted. An empirical study of spoken data reveals that at least in French this property has specific effects on various levels of interaction: the form expresses negotiability of the speaker’s acts; it preferredly encodes new information and contributes to structure the thematic progression of discourse; it tends to encode initiative and/or dispreferred communicative acts. These results lead us to formulate some hypotheses as to the condatt’s appropriateness with regard to global context. In particular, given that the form signals negotiability and is better compatible with a reduced rather than with a rich common ground, we expect it to be most appropriate in dialogical genres characterized by a low degree of acquaintance, a high degree of social distance between co-participants, and symmetry of social roles.

La presente contribution traite un marqueur italien base sur un verbe de perception, come si vede ('comme on le voit'), qui, parmi d'autres fonctions, peut signaler une connexion infe- rentielle. L'analyse, basee sur un corpus ecrit, decrit la polyfonctionnalite de ce marqueur, sa specialisation pour certains loci et le rapport entre ces fonctions et le signifie compositionnel. L'approche choisie met en valeur la relation conceptuelle entre les connexions inferentielles dans le discours argumentatif et la categorie de l'evidentialite.

In argumentative discourse, evidential markers and strategies can be hypothesized to function as “argumentative indicators” (van Eemeren et al. in Argumentative indicators in discourse. A pragma-dialectical study. Springer, Dordrecht, 2007) by contributing to signal argumentative relations (see Rocci in Argumentation 22:165–189, 2008; J Pragmatics 44(15):2129–2149, 2012 on modal verbs in Italian and English and Mieznikowski in Parole, gesti, interpretazioni.
