Emancipatory Pragmatics
Emancipatory Pragmatics focuses on the description of linguistic practices in languages other than Euro‐American majority languages in an effort to integrate diverse voices into the field of pragmatics. Emancipatory Pragmatics recognizes the contributions of well‐known theoretical perspectives such as Grice's theory of conversational implicature, speech act theory, politeness theory, and relevance theory, but it also seeks to establish theories o…
Between Turn and Sequence
Displays of concession in university faculty meetings
In light of the tendency in studies of Japanese discourse and communication to account for patterns of social interaction in terms of cultural concepts such as wa (“harmony”), omoiyari (“empathy”), and enryo (“restraint”), this report sets out to demonstrate how much of an endogenously produced, local achievement social interaction can be in Japanese. To do so, the techniques and principles of conversation analysis are employed to describe how a …
Communicative interaction in terms of ba theory
This paper proposes an innovative approach to pragmatics that breaks away from the notion of individual as starting point in order to understand interactive context as a single integrated whole. This break is made by introducing the Japanese philosophical concept of ba and basho. The conceptualization of basho was initiated by Nishida Kitaro and his fellow philosophers at the Kyoto School in the first half of the twentieth century, and the ba pri…
Hawaiʻi Creole in the public domain
In light of a belief that Hawaiʻi Creole (HC) is mostly inappropriate in public domains of society, this study examines how it was employed in two university commencement speeches by a local politician in Hawaiʻi. The analysis adopts the perspective of heteroglossia ( Bakhtin 1981 ) in order to describe how HC is used together in the speeches with English and also some Hawaiian words. By focusing on the contrastive indexical meanings attached to …
Documenting an Endangered Language
This study employs tape-recorded data from interviews with elder speakers of Hawaiian conducted in the year 1970 to describe how a specific feature of the Hawaiian language, the first-person inclusive plural pronoun kākou, may be used in discourse as a resource for making claims of ownership on behalf of Hawaiians. To do so, the analysis first invokes Hanks's (2005) notions of deixis and deictic field to show how kākou can create a sense of commu…
Rethinking Western individualism from the perspective of social interaction and from the concept of ba
Miyako Inoue
The Japanese language has long attracted researchers interested in the relationship between language and gender. Many scholars in the 1970s and 1980s found Japanese to be a fertile ground for studying gender differences in language use (Ide 1982; Shibamoto 1985), and more recently, researchers have frequently turned their focus to uncovering the ideologies that underlie language use in Japan and contribute to the construction of varying gender id…
Men's Adultery as Sickness
This article describes how Japanese TV programs adopting a consultation framework construct different realities for women and men concerning a specific social phenomenon, namely adultery. To do so, two perspectives, the theory of metaphor promoted by George Lakoff and membership category analysis, are combined toward a discursive analysis which reveals that, in the case of men's adultery, advice givers typically shift responsibility away from men…
Negotiation of Contingent Talk
Exploring aizuchi as resources in Japanese social interaction
Stance in Talk
The Moderator in Control
Research on media broadcasts has often focused on the interactional work engaged in by news interviewers and program hosts. In this report, I contribute to this line of inquiry by describing the work of the moderator of a Japanese roundtable discussion program that is known for its argumentative character. More specifically, in the analysis, I concentrate on an interactional progression consisting of three linguistic practices—naming, the particl…
The media and the pursuit of militarism in Japan
Following the attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, Japan passed laws that resulted in the dispatch of its Self-Defense Force to support military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. This marked a major break from Japan's previous pacifist stance, which, as stated in Article 9 of the national constitution, did not allow for participation in war. This article examines editorials from four leading Japanese newspapers, Yomiuri, Asahi, Main…
Conflict as interactional accomplishment in Japanese
Through an analysis of arguments in two different sets of university faculty meetings, this article attempts to demonstrate that episodes of conflict in Japanese can be treated as accomplishments at a local, interactional level. The analysis focuses on turn-taking organizations used by faculty member participants in two meetings to show how talk in one set of meetings was designed to facilitate the onset of arguments, while talk in the other set …
Using Conversation Analysis to Track Gender Ideologies in Social Interaction
In this article, we engage in the recent debate concerning the utility of conversation analysis (CA) for feminist purposes. Using analysis of a Japanese phone-in consultation TV program, we take the position that CA has much to contribute to the feminist critique of Japanese society. Combining two strands of CA research, Hutchby's reconsideration of power as an interactional achievement and membership category analysis (MCA), we show in the analy…
