“But Then Again, Too Few to Mention”
This study adopts a contrastive pragmatic approach to examine the meanings and functions of public regret in two linguacultures. We located questions of regret realized by news interviewers in Israel and the United States between the years 2010 and 2020 using keyword searches in databases of diverse radio and television broadcast news media. Contrastive analysis of realizations and uptakes of questions of regret reveals similar discursive, functi…
Stance-taking and participation framework in museum commenting platforms
The realization of subjectivity through language use is a key concern of sociolinguistic research. We argue for examining it by juxtaposing Goffman's participation framework and Du Bois' stance triangle. We focus on museums' commenting platforms as 'stance-rich' media (Du Bois 2007:151) by examining the communicative affordances of a visitor book at the Florida Holocaust Museum and analyzing museumgoers' texts (3,064). These texts are homogeneous…
Populism as a keyword and as a meta-discursive resource for positioning in mediated political discourse
The (inter)play of nationality, religiosity and gender
Reality television is a significant cultural forum for the exploration of personal, social and national identities. While its characteristic representation of ethnic and sociocultural diversity may promote democratization and pluralism, previous research indicates that this positive potential is significantly limited by reliance on conservative schemes and stereotypes. The present study aims at examining the full potential of reality television t…
The (inter)play of nationality, religiosity and gender
Shoshana Blum-Kulka (1936-2013)
Discourse Pragmatics
Dialectic textual negotiation
The present study proposes a discourse-immanent view (following Wodak 2001) of political manifestos, examining them as sites for textually negotiating tensions and paradoxes, rather than focusing on their persuasive aspects. This approach is applied to the analysis of two founding documents of the Israeli religious settlers’ movement, where tensions between religious vision and actual politics have increased over time. Findings indicate that in t…
Explanations in naturally occurring peer talk
This study examines explanations in children’s natural peer talk, as they emerge in collaborative interaction among children, in two cohorts: preschoolers (aged 4—5) and preadolescents (aged 9—10). The study examined 322 explanations for the diversity of their content-components, their modes of emergence, and social functions. Quantitative analysis revealed a wide range of explanation topics in both cohorts, with a shift with age from the immedia…
Surviving the ‘mock interview’
The Nation's Living Room
The article explores the changing meaning and salience of the ethos of solidarity in Israeli discourse in the 1990s, as reflected on the popular talk show Live, Hosted by Dan Shilon (1991–2000). Examination of the show's format and genre, textual analysis of its cast and topical agendas, and a quantitative analysis of micro-discursive patterns attest to the globalization, individualization, and commercialization of Israeli society and media and t…

Ian Hutchby, Media talk: Conversation analysis and the study of broadcasting . Berkshire, UK: Open University Press, 2006. Pp. xii, 185. Hb £60.00, Pb £18.99. Ian Hutchby's Media talk is an introduction to the analysis of talk-in-interaction on television and radio. Since the early 1990s, attention to interactive and discursive patterns in these broadcast media has produced a large, rich, and diversified body of work, targeting a wide range of me…
Caught between freedom and control
The article discusses the democratizing potential of the talk show genre by exploring the discursive positioning of anonymous lay participants in the Israeli prime-time talk show Live. Quantitative analyses of three measures of participation reveal that anonymous guests take fewer turns, intervene less and self-select less than famous and semi-famous guests on the show. Qualitative analyses reveal a dialectical response by the host to anonymous g…
From Observation to Transcription and Back
In this article, we address issues of methodology in the study of peer talk in child discourse and argue for the need to develop an interdisciplinary approach to child discourse at large. The peer talk under study is part of a larger project following the development of children's discursive skills, in method relying on ethnographic fieldwork, and conversation analysis methods of transcription and microanalysis. We use a case study to demonstrate…
