Ghosts and the haunting of the American dream
“I Don’t Feel Like I Have Any Control of My Life at All . . . Everything Overwhelms Me. Everything”
Informal caregivers immersed in the daily care of loved ones at end-of-life stages face such challenges as medical and household issues, worries, doubts, and uncertainties. Using a macro-mezzo-micro approach to discourse, we analyzed parent study interview data involving 46 caregivers facing end-of-life realities. At the mezzo level, we examined caregivers’ expressed perceptions of control. We then more finely analyzed discursive expressions of a…
A Discourse Analysis
Informal family caregivers make a significant contribution to the U.S. health care system, and the need for caregivers will likely increase. Gaining deeper insights into the caregiver experience will provide essential knowledge needed to support the future caregiver workforce delivering care. Discourse analysis is a viable approach in analyzing textual caregiver data that focuses on the end-of-life caregiving experience. The purpose of this study…
Emergent multiplicities of self- and other-construction in Korean workplace-based television dramas
In Memoriam Noriko M. Akatsuka
Holding Death at Bay vs. Prolonging Life
Media discourse creates and shapes views of personhood, of possibilities, of wellness, and at the same time, these views and beliefs, in their turn, shape media discourse. Broadcasts of health-related edutainment programs and advertisements are rich sources for the discovery of stances concerning health and illness. We examine media discourse in the United States and South Korea, and uncover consistent indexical patterns pointing to overall ideol…

This article examines the interrelationship between literacy and the socialisation of incipient ideology. We focus on one first-grade classroom in Tehran, Iran, as students and teacher engage in a complex literacy event centering on a lesson from the national reader, bekhaanim (Let's Read). In the course of this textually driven meaning-making activity, we observe how participants explore and respond to elements of school-based language use as it…

A Conceptual Approach to Existential Verbs in Japanese
A Conceptual Approach to Existential Verbs in Japanese
This paper presents an alternative analysis of the two Japanese existential verbs: aru and iru. By appealing to the notion of conceptualisation that pervades the cognitive linguistic literature, I demonstrate that the two verbs pattern as motion verbs, and not simply as verbs of existence and/or location. Throughout the paper, I demonstrate that the traditional opposition of inanimacy versus animacy, said to determine the use of aru versus iru, r…
Indexicality and honorific speech level choice in Korean
The use of Korean honorifics is generally dependent upon such social factors as age, profession, socioeconomic status, and so forth. Traditional accounts of the two Korean honorific verbal suffixes, namely, the deferential and the polite forms, explain the use of each on the basis of relative status: the deferential is the more formal of the two, used when addressing persons of higher social status; the polite form is used when addressing persons…
