  • Dooka Oshiete Kudasai! ‘Please, Please tell us!’: Politeness, Requests, And Learning in A Japanese Language Immersion Program

    Shinsuke Tsuchiya, Stephen J Moody et al.•ARTICLE•East Asian Pragmatics•2025

    This study uses interactional sociolinguistics to analyze requests produced by American learners of Japanese during mealtime conversations in a Foreign Language Housing immersion program. Attention is given to the use of politeness strategies and honorifics during requests and to how their use may or may not encourage learning through unstructured social conversations. The analysis illustrates how honorifics are used for social activities, such a…

  • Interactional competence and performances of compliments and consolations by learners of Japanese

    Stephen J Moody, Jeff Peterson et al.•ARTICLE•Intercultural Pragmatics•2024•References: 6

    In recent years there has been an increased recognition of the need for learners to understand language as social action. However, language learners are often left on their own to develop the ability to adapt to the unanticipated demands of real-world interaction. To encourage this development, attention is turning toward the notion of interactional competence (IC). The present study contributes to efforts to better understand Japanese learners’ …

  • Multimodality, interactional competence, and the 'intercultural' in achieving intercultural service encounters in Japan

  • Participation in Multiparty Language Play: Navigating Sociability and Learning in Dinnertime Conversations

    Open Access•Stephen J Moody, Shinsuke Tsuchiya•ARTICLE•Applied Linguistics•2021

    This study examines participation in language play (LP) during spontaneous multiparty talk in a Foreign Language Housing (FLH) program. FLH programs represent hybrid spaces where talk emerges naturally for social reasons but is framed under an institutional purpose for language learning. Given its multifunctional ability to simultaneously coordinate both sociable humor and learning-in-interaction, LP emerges as a salient resource in such dual-pur…

  • Contextualizing macro-level identities and constructing inclusiveness through teasing and self-mockery: A view from the intercultural workplace in Japan

    Open Access•Stephen J Moody•ARTICLE•Journal of Pragmatics•2019•Cited by: 8•References: 26

  • Interculturality as social capital at work: The case of disagreements in American-Japanese interaction

    Open Access•Stephen J Moody•ARTICLE•Language in Society•2019•Cited by: 1•References: 33

    Theories of social capital hold that strong interpersonal relationships can be leveraged to facilitate information sharing, gain trust, and strengthen group solidarity. Thus, it is often predicted that international workers are disadvantaged in these areas because they lack established social ties. Using data from disagreements between American interns and their colleagues in Japanese companies, this study critically examines this prediction by i…

  • Fitting in or Standing out? a Conflict of Belonging and Identity in Intercultural Polite Talk at Work

    Stephen J Moody•ARTICLE•Applied Linguistics•2017

    This study analyzes how American interns in Japanese companies use Japanese addressee honorifics to assimilate to new cultural and professional settings. Data are drawn from recorded interactions of interns’ regular work activities and are supplemented with follow-up interviews. The analysis uses Interactional Sociolinguistics to link micro-level discursive practices revealed in records of interaction to macro-level ideologies revealed in intervi…
