Newsmarks from a crosslinguistic perspective: Introduction
Hebrew ken ? (Yes?): A minimal format for inviting the review of prior talk
Reframing shame: Confrontational support discourse in online forums
This study examines the discourse surrounding shame in Israeli-Hebrew online peer-advice forums. Employing a discursive psychology approach, we analyze how shame is mobilized in advice requests and addressed by commentators in these sites characterized by increased emotional exposure and disinhibited communication. Drawing on a corpus of posts from a leading Israeli advice forum containing explicit expressions of shame, our findings reveal distin…
Orienting to knowledge as remarkable: The newsmark be'emet ('in-truth') in Hebrew conversation
Request for confirmation sequences in Egyptian Arabic
The article presents a description of request for confirmation (RfC) sequences in everyday conversation in Egyptian Arabic. Through a quantitative analysis of 200 sequences excerpted from telephone calls, the analysis is concerned to identify the main design features of RfC sequences and their context-sensitive distribution and use. Analysis reveals that RfCs in Egyptian Arabic often do not bear special syntactic or prosodic marking. Lexical devi…
Newsmarks as an Interactional Resource for Indexing Remarkability: A Qualitative Analysis of Arabic waḷḷāhi and English really
This paper presents a study of Arabic waḷḷāhi (lit. ‘by God’) and English really when they are used interactionally as newsmarks. The literature has claimed that the role of newsmarks in conversation is to treat prior talk as news, to open up a slot for further talk, to express doubt or disbelief, and to implement requests for confirmation. A close analysis of waḷḷāhi and really shows that they do not necessarily follow the patterns described by …
Say, are you a little ashamed?” – Shame allocation and accountability in Israeli news interviews
Waḷḷāhi ('by God') as a marker of commitment and involvement in Egyptian Arabic conversation
The embodied modification of formulations: The quoting gesture (QG) in Israeli-Hebrew discourse
Responses within activities: Alignment via Egyptian Arabic ʔāh ‘yeah’ in extended turns
Large conversational activities (e.g., storytelling) necessitate a suspension of ordinary turn-taking rules. In the resulting constellation of main speaker and recipient, minimal displays of cooperative recipiency become relevant at particular junctures. We investigate this mechanism by focusing on the Egyptian Arabic particle ʔāh ‘yeah’ when thus used. We observe that tokens of ʔāh are mobilized by main speakers via the opening of prosodic slots…
Discourse markers as a lens to variation across speech and writing: Egyptian Arabic yaʕni ‘it means’ as a case study
This paper explores the use of the discourse marker (DM) yaʕni (lit. ‘it means’) in spoken and written Egyptian-Cairene Arabic. The DM yaʕni originates in conversational interaction and is symbiotic with its socio-cognitive constraints and goals: it serves to facilitate the verbalization of new or hard-to-activate ideas and to optimize the verbalization of already-introduced ideas, so as to enhance participants’ mutual understanding and involveme…
Adapted and emergent practices in text-based digital discourse: The microanalysis of mobile messaging chats
Displaying consideration via EHM (‘uhm’) in Hebrew WhatsApp dialogues
Stance-taking viaya′ani/ya′anu: A discourse marker in a Hebrew-Arabic language contact situation
We explore two stance-taking patterns in casual Hebrew conversation involvingya′ani/ya′anu, a discourse marker originating in colloquial Arabic. In the first,ya′ani/ya′anu, the same as Arabicyaʕni(lit. 'it means'), frames reformulations of prior discourse serving to enhance interpersonal involvement and mutuality regarding the interlocutor's stance toward what has been said, thereby constructing intersubjectivity. The second pattern consists of a…
