School staff’s experiences of supporting students’ social, emotional and mental health (Semh) needs: An interpretative phenomenological analysis
Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) is a growing concern in education, and school staff face mounting responsibility to provide support for students with complex SEMH needs. Although this is often detrimental to staff well-being, little is known about how they make sense of this responsibility. This study uses Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore school staff’s experiences of supporting students with SEMH needs. The dataset …
Managing emotions and occupational demands: A phenomenological exploration of the experiences of child exploitation support workers
Protecting children from criminal and sexual exploitation is a priority for safeguarding teams across the globe. Supporting children who are at risk of exploitation is a demanding role with high staff turnover. Experiences of third-sector child exploitation support workers, commissioned to deliver interventions to safeguard children from exploitation, have been neglected. This study presents an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of semi-str…
Young peoples’ lived experiences of shifts between face-to-face and smartphone interactions: An interpretative phenomenological analysis
Users of smartphones are finding new ways to shift between the online and the physical world, due to increases in the number of people who go online while ‘out and about’. This study focuses on youths’ lived experiences of using and managing their smartphones and how they navigate their shifts between face to face and digital interactions. Semi-structured interviews with seven smartphone users were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological A…
Mechanisms of Grammaticalization in the Variation of Negative Question Tags
This paper presents an investigation of the extent to which Heine’s (2003) mechanisms of grammaticalization—erosion (phonetic reduction), decategorialization (loss of morpho-syntactic properties), desemanticization (semantic bleaching) and extension (context expansion)—are evident in the variation of negative question tags in three varieties of British English spoken in Glasgow, Tyneside, and Salford. The study considers the variation in terms of…
The grammaticalisation of never in British English dialects: Quantifying syntactic and functional change
Never originated as a temporal adverb expressing universal quantification over time (‘Type 1’, e.g. he’s never been to Paris ). As Lucas & Willis (2012) report, it has developed non-quantificational meanings equivalent to didn’t , starting with the ‘Type 2’ use which depicts an event that could have occurred in a specific ‘window of opportunity’ (e.g. she waited but he never arrived ). Subsequently, a non-standard ‘Type 3’ use developed, where ne…

Paradoxical Invitations: Challenges in Soliciting More Information from Child Witnesses
When interviewing children reporting their being victim of alleged sexual offenses, police officers will at some point ask interviewees if they would like to add to what has been said or if they have any questions. Formal interviewing guidelines recommend that this be done during interview closure. Using Conversation Analysis, we show that launching such invitations at interview closure makes them paradoxical. On the one hand, the child is asked …
Self-disclosure and self-deprecating self-reference: Conversational practices of personalization in police interviews with children reporting alleged sexual offenses
This article examines how police officers ostensibly reveal personal information about themselves in investigative interviews with children reporting their being victim of alleged sexual offenses. We identify two practices of personalization. First, we show how, during the opening phase of interviews, officers engage in clear, unambiguous self-disclosure and how these self-disclosures are designed to elicit expressions of affiliation from witness…
Canny good , or quite canny: The semantic-syntactic distribution of canny in the North East of England
The word canny has long been associated with the dialects of the North East of England, most typically in its adjectival sense. However, it has four distinct functions (adjective, adverb, intensifier and modifier in quantifying expressions), which this paper tracks in a diachronic speech corpus. Although the intensifier (e.g. it’s canny good ) is documented in the Survey of English Dialects (Upton, Parry and Widowson 1994), it appears in the corp…

I’m not X, I just want Y: Formulating ‘wants’ in interaction
This article provides a conversation analytic description of a two-part structure, ‘ I don’t want X, I want/just want Y’. Drawing on a corpus of recordings of family mealtimes and television documentary data, I show how speakers use the structure in two recurrent environments. First, speakers may use the structure to reject a proposal regarding their actions made by an interlocutor. Second, speakers may deliver the structure following a co-intera…
We All Had an Experience in There Together”: A Discursive Psychological Analysis of Collaborative Paranormal Accounts by Paranormal Investigation Team Members
This is a study of the verbal accounts of paranormal investigators. The focus of analysis is upon the rhetorical organization of event descriptions in ways that establish the factual status of reports in order to highlight the inherent problems associated with current understandings of reports of spontaneous cases. Drawing upon a corpus of interviews conducted with six investigation group members, analysis was conducted using discursive psycholog…
