Second Language Motivational Selves and Interactional Pragmatics in Study Abroad
The effects of individual differences factors on second language (L2) pragmatic competence are of interest to researchers because the development of L2 pragmatic competence is directly related to learners' personal traits and their knowledge of contextual factors. In a study abroad (SA) setting, prior studies have found that despite the abundant learning affordances in an SA context, learners vary in their use of such opportunities, such as socia…
Gendered social address in China's convergence culture
Henry Jenkins posited that digital culture is convergence culture. This prognosis has since been intensely debated. Critiques of its romanticization of grassroots participation and objections to its neglect of the political economy of media convergence are particularly pertinent in the context of China where media is under state control despite the drastic platformization of society. The present study probes China's convergence culture through a …
Aspect construal in Mandarin
Despite extensive research efforts to explain the Mandarin Chinese particlele, confusion persists in the absence of a unitary theory and sufficient empirical evidence. This study provides a unitary account ofleby adopting a usage-based constructionist approach, one that liberates grammatical aspect from, and is able to accommodate, lexical aspect. We argue thatleparticipates in two distinct family resemblance constructions of aspect construal ass…
Neological cancer metaphors in the Chinese cyberspace
This study examines emerging cancer metaphors that are encoded as a neological construction [X- ái ‘cancer’] using corpus data retrieved from Chinese social media. The quantitative findings show that [X- ái ] is a highly productive construction where the open slot X attracts a wide variety of lexical items. The qualitative findings are twofold. First, the central meaning of this construction is to express subjective feelings such as self-mockery …
“I am not criticizing you”
This study examines a Chinese indirect speech act conventionally expressed with what I call the construction of earnest advice . From a constructionist perspective, I posit that the construction of earnest advice is an indirect speech act construction. Its idiosyncratic form is paired with the function of showing genuine concern and providing advice in the best interest of the hearer. Based on corpus evidence and discourse analysis, I analyze the…
