Pragmatics and Stance
This entry examines stance, here defined as those aspects of language that reveal features of individual experience and ways of relating to the world and others. Stance imbues every human (communicative) act, but is also associated with a range of dedicated linguistic expressions, which makes it particularly challenging to delimit the phenomenon in a cross‐theoretical and cross‐linguistically uncontroversial fashion. This is where pragmatics come…
Displayed monologues
Many of the ancestral languages of Australia’s 250+ Aboriginal cultures employ extensive avoidance registers used in speech situations involving community members with whom one is prohibited from interacting under customary law, so-called ‘avoidance relatives’. Marking in avoidance languages signals that the speaker is talking as if not in the presence of the avoidance relative, which recalls Hasegawa’s (2011) category of formal, intentional soli…
The Trees Above
We adopt an ethnolinguistic approach to examine cultural practices involving trees in two Indigenous communities: the Ngarinyin Aborigines of Australia and the Solega/Soliga of India. On the basis of two separate types of data and methods, we demonstrate that the lives of the Ngarinyin and Solega are intimately connected with the trees surrounding them. Mentions of trees in Ngarinyin creation narratives are numerous and varied and show that trees…
Irregular perspective shifts and perspective persistence, discourse-oriented and theoretical approaches
In this introduction, we set out the central themes of the special issue. It concentrates on imperfect function-form mappings, and discusses several cases in which specific perspectival meanings are not fully predictable on the basis of a perspectivizing grammatical construction alone. We distinguish two kinds of form-function mismatches: (1) perspective-persistent phenomena, i.e. grammatically signaled deictic and/or cognitive perspective shifts…
In a Manner of Speaking
We present a first, broad-scale typology of extended reported speech, examples of lexicalised or grammaticalised reported speech constructions without a regular quotation meaning. These typically include meanings that are conceptually close to reported speech, such as think or want , but also interpretations that do not appear to have an obvious conceptual relation with talking, such as cause or begin to . Reported speech may therefore reflect bo…
Grammar and levels of addressivity
Evans et al. (2018a,b) introduce the notion of ‘engagement’ as a new grammatical domain related to intersubjective coordination of knowledge. The present paper applies this notion to data from the Australian Aboriginal language Ungarinyin. It identifies three markers/construction types in the language as expressions of engagement and develops a descriptive framework rooted in Bakhtinian Dialogism in order to demonstrate why these expressions repr…

Solega defenestration
Based on original fieldwork, this paper discusses reported speech and thought constructions in Solega (Dravidian). Following McGregor (1994) we claim that reported speech can only be comprehensively characterised if it is identified as a syntactic construction in its own right, a construction we label a framing construction. In natural discourse, elements of the framing construction, particularly clauses referring to the reporting event, may be l…
