The study presents the results of a discourse analysis of the confrontational discursive strategy of discrediting in the English authoritarian discourse of children. The work views the discourse of children as a field for implementing their communicative intentions. In the process of formation of their character and personality, children follow adults’ and peers’ example; they also experiment with a wide range of linguistic means in order to establish interpersonal control within the discursive surrounding. The discrediting strategy in the English authoritarian discourse of children is analyzed through the influence that a child-speaker is trying to exert over an addressee. Discrediting is understood in the paper as a macro-speech act which means damaging the reputation of the speaker and belittling his importance in communication. The necessary pre-condition for actualizing this strategy is its occurrence in public as it is intended for recipients, including an addressee himself and other hearers present. Discrediting is considered to be a face-threatening act which activates the category of impoliteness and belongs to the area of evaluative influence. The results point to three most communicatively productive tactics of actualizing the strategy of discrediting: the tactics of insult, mockery, and belittling merits of the speaker. Their implementation occurs through exerting the authoritarian child’s influence upon an addressee/a third person. The linguistic means contributing to the implementation of these tactics include negative assessment markers (adjectives, comparisons, vocatives), the ironic/sarcastic mode of communication, rhetoric interrogative and exclamatory constructions, subjunctive mood structures. Skills of discrediting the speaker verbally find their development in the further shaping of a child’s discursive personality

Abstract In this paper we present a selection of preliminary results of our research project “Intonation and Meaning”, in which we compare recurrent intonation contours in German and Italian regional varieties. We apply the method of German Interactional Prosody Research (Interaktionale Prosodieforschung), which in turn is based on Conversation Analysis, to a sample of selfcollected empirical data. Our aim is to show the value of intonation as a resource to contextualize speech activities and to point out form-function relationships between intonation patterns and speech act types. In this respect, we observe the usage of intonation contours with rising accent (L*H) and with falling accent (H*L) in the utterance of question activities, and provide evidence for the fact that the latter represent a distinctive type of questions with epistemic presupposition, whereas L*H correlates rather with default, modally unmarked questions.

The paper presents a design strategy for e-learning hypermedia interfaces based on the notion of conceptual-navigational map. It proposes to analyze the cognitive and communication problems that arise in the use of hypermedia applications with specific goals, such as e-learning courseware modules, with the linguistic tools of pragmatics and discourse analysis, and shows how this can help in identifying specific communication problems related to the grounding and contextualization of new information, and how it can lead to new insights for design and to interfaces inspired by the linguistic means used in verbal communication to manage analogous problems. The implementation of such a design strategy in the SWISSLING courseware modules is discussed, and future directions of development towards context- aware adaptive hypermedia are briefly outlined.

This paper discusses the speech acts in Facebook Status Updates posted by an apostate of Islam. The Facebook Timeline was observed for a duration of two years (January 2015 to December 2016). More than 4000 postings were made in the data collection period. However, only 648 postings are related to apostasy. The data were classified according to the types of speech acts. Expressive speech act is the most frequent speech act (33%, n=215), followed by the directive (27%, n=177), assertive (22%, n=141), and commissive (18%, n=115), respectively. Based on the speech acts used, it is discernible that the apostate attempts to engage other Facebook users and persuade them into accepting her ideology while gaining their support. This paper is novel in the sense that it puts forth the social actions of an apostate which is very scarce in literature. It is also methodologically innovative as it uses social media postings as a tool to explore the apostate’s social actions in an online space.

This study is aimed at exploring the way the English teachers at senior high schools exercise power and domination during the teaching and learning process. Conversation analysis and critical discourse analysis were used to analyze the data. The data were generated from thirty transcripts of classroom interaction comprising of two academic hour session for each transcript. The findings of this study revealed that the English teacher still exercised strong power and domination in the classroom. Most exchanges were initiated by the teacher (93%), and the students involvements were limited to providing responses in accordance with the information initiated by their teacher. The teachers’ domination was also seen in the length of the turns. The teachers normally had extended turn comprising one clause or more, while students’ contributions were normally short consisting of one word, one phrase, and one clause was the longest in each turn. Beside the two indicators, the teachers’ power and domination were seen in controlling the topic, giving instruction, asking close questions and providing correction. Key words: conversation, classroom discourse, power and domination
