Shakespeare’s language: Styles and meanings via the computer

Mapping the links between gender, status and genre in Shakespeare’s plays
The Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language project has produced a resource allowing users to explore Shakespeare’s plays in a variety of (semi-automatic) ways, via a web-based corpus query processor interface hosted by Lancaster University. It enables users, for example, to interrogate a corpus of Shakespeare’s plays using queries restricted by dramatic genre, gender and/or social status of characters, …
Depictions of deception: A corpus-based analysis of five Shakespearean characters
Drawing on the Enhanced Shakespearean Corpus: First Folio Plus and using corpus-based methods, this article explores, quantitatively and qualitatively, Shakespeare’s depictions of five deceptive characters (Aaron, Tamora, Iago, Lady Macbeth and Falstaff). Our analysis adopts three strands: firstly, statistical keywords relating to each character are examined to determine what this tells us about their natures more generally. Secondly, the wordlis…

Applying (im)politeness and facework research to professional settings: An introduction
The fourth Linguistic Impoliteness, Rudeness and Aggression conference (LIAR IV) was held at Manchester Metropolitan University (UK), from 12th to 14th July 2016. The conference was designed to provide a platform for bringing together investigators who, although they might represent diverse theoretical, applied and/or practice-led traditions, nonetheless shared an interest in (im)politeness and facework (broadly conceived)
The faces at play in performance appraisals: With a focus upon a UK retail organization
A variety of face types can be in operation in workplaces, dependent on, for example, the kind of workplace, the various activities engaged in in that workplace, the status/role/gender of participants working in and/or connected with the workplace, etc. This paper offers an adapted version of Archer’s (2015) Facework Scale as a means of accounting for the different types of face in evidence in one activity - Performance Appraisals - in one workpl…
Co-creating customer experience through call centre interaction: Interactional achievement and professional face
Many customer service institutions draw on the (argued over) notion of “customer experience”. Gentile et al. (2007) suggest that, at an optimum, the notion assumes a thinking and feeling customer who co-creates their customer experience together with the service providing institution. This co-creation is believed to comprise interactional involvement, personalization and the holistic treatment of the customer’s needs. Given the latter, we might e…
Impression management in the Early Modern English courtroom
This paper draws upon three texts from the trial section of the Corpus of English Dialogues , in order to explore the tactical impression management strategies used by Early Modern English courtroom participants (defendants, judges, lawyers and witnesses). I will demonstrate that modern impression management strategies (identified with other activity types in mind) are in evidence in the texts, as are additional courtroom-specific strategies. I d…
Negotiating difference in political contexts: An exploration of Hansard
Context and historical (socio-)pragmatics twenty years on
This paper has two purposes. First, it constitutes an exploration of context from the perspective of some prominent historical pragmaticians, and/or as demonstrated by publications which represent/exemplify a particular approach within historical pragmatics ( Jacobs and Jucker 1995 ; Archer and Culpeper 2003 , 2011 ; Nevala 2011 ; Traugott 2004 , 2011 ; 2012 ; Jucker and Taavitsainen 2014 ) as well as related disciplines such as historical sociol…
Tracing facework over time using semi-automated methods
Impolite behaviour tends to attract more evaluative comment than other facework, making it easier to investigate synchronically and diachronically. A reliance on metapragmatic commentary is not optimum for UK parliamentary studies, however, as MPs cannot use “insulting or rude language” that breaks the chamber’s “rules of politeness” ( www.parliament.uk ). The work reported here thus offers three innovative methods of tracing MPs’ facework as the…

Constructing a shared history, space and destiny: The children’s reader Udmurtia Forever with Russia
The children’s reader, Udmurtiia naveki s Rossiei, celebrates the “450th anniversary of the voluntary entry of Udmurtia into the Russian State structure”. Published in Russian, one of its aims is to familiarize young children (aged 10 and under) with “key events” in Udmurt-Russian relations leading up to the inclusion of Udmurt-inhabited areas in the Russian Empire; emphasizing throughout the absence of inter-ethnic conflict in a “multi-ethnic Ud…

Facework and im/politeness across legal contexts: An introduction
In this introductory essay, I outline some of the studies which have already explored facework and im/politeness in legal contexts: specifically, Lakoff (Multilingua 8: 101–29, 1989), Penman (Facework and politeness: Multiple goals in courtroom discourse, Multilingual Matters, 1990), Archer (Verbal aggression and impoliteness: Related or synonymous, Mouton de Gruyter, 2008, under review), Limberg (Threats in conflict talk: Impoliteness and manipu…
Libelling Oscar Wilde: The case of Regina vs. John Sholto Douglas
This paper explores the 1895 libel trial between Oscar Wilde (literary personality) and the Marquis of Queensbury (father of Wilde's close friend). Focussing on the lead defence counsel's cross-examination of Wilde (plaintiff), I demonstrate that Carson's FTAs are "aggressive" and, in some cases, "deliberately" so (cf. Bousfield, Impoliteness in interaction, John Benjamins, 2008: 72). However, as they do not breach the rules of the courtroom or i…

(Re)initiating strategies: Judges and defendants in Early Modern English courtrooms
This paper draws on the trial section of the Sociopragmatic Corpus to explore the interaction of judges and defendants in the English courtroom (1640–1760). I show that defendants tended to be more actively involved in their defence than defendants are today, because of: (i) the absence of legal counsel (although this was changing during our period), and (ii) a perceived need that defendants should demonstrate their own innocence, via their respo…
Can innocent people be guilty?”: A sociopragmatic analysis of examination transcripts from the salem witchcraft trials
In this paper, I present a sociopragmatic method of analysing historical courtroom interaction, drawing data from Boyer and Nissenbaum’s (1977) Salem Witchcraft Papers. Concentrating as much upon the answers that the magistrates’ questions received as the questions themselves, I complement a grammatical analysis of question-types and their conducivity, with an analysis of responses in terms of Grice’s (1975) Cooperative Principle. I argue that (1…
