Ethical practice in participant-centred linguistic research
This article outlines ethical principles for 'participant-centred linguistic research' (PCLR), a term we coin to incorporate a range of linguistic research approaches that place importance on the involvement of participants. Linguistics, as a field, has strengthened its focus on participant-centred and socially situated research, recognising the value of better understanding our participants' practices and linguistic knowledge. However, this also…
Communicating and categorising ‘kidnap’ incidents in UK police emergency calls: A Conversation Analytic Study
This study of police emergency calls in the UK addresses the interactional work conducted when dealing with reports of kidnap. In the UK, kidnap is classed as a type of 'crime-in-action', known to be complex to categorise and code for the appropriate police response. Using the qualitative method of 'conversation analysis', we address this complexity through analysing a dataset of anonymised emergency calls which are, at some point during the call…
Storytelling and affiliation between healthcare staff in Schwartz Round interactions: A conversation analytic study
It is well known that the demands of working in healthcare can take a psychological toll on staff. Schwartz Centre Rounds are an intervention aimed at supporting staff wellbeing through providing a forum to talk about the emotional, social and ethical complexities of such work, employing facilitated storytelling and group discussion to try and achieve this. However, while prior research, through extensive interviews and surveys, has found Schwart…
Action request episodes in trauma team interactions in Japan and the UK - A multimodal analysis of joint actions in medical simulation
Everyone happy with what their role is?”: A pragmalinguistic evaluation of leadership practices in emergency medicine training
This article reports a study of simulated interactions between emergency medical teams, as they are used in education for specialist trainee doctors. We focus on a key area of communicative competence that trainees are assessed on: the performance of leadership skills. Using videos of simulated trauma cases recorded within a training department of a large teaching hospital in the UK, we analyse how trainee doctors delegate tasks to their teams, m…
Assessing health professionals’ communication through role-play: An interactional analysis of simulated versus actual general practice consultations
Simulations, in which healthcare professionals are observed in dialogue with role-played patients, are widely used for assessing professional skills. Medical education research suggests simulations should be as authentic as possible, but there remains a lack of linguistic research into how far such settings authentically reproduce talk. This article presents an analysis of a corpus of general practice simulations in the United Kingdom, comparing …
Creativity in speech
Poverty, Race and Vulnerability
Rather than providing for the welfare needs of asylum-seekers in Ireland within the existing social welfare structure, the Irish State operates the Direct Provision System. This system provides full board in accommodation centres and a small weekly allowance. The problems with this “temporary” system are manifold, and though these issues are individually problematic in their own right, they are compounded by the fact that it has been known for an…
