La deslegitimación de los políticos españoles como estrategia de odio en un corpus de X
El auge del discurso de odio en redes sociales, especialmente en la red social X, ha transformado la comunicación política digital. Dentro de este fenómeno, la deslegitimación destaca como una estrategia habitual para erosionar la autoridad y capacitación del adversario mediante su otrificación, criminalización, estigmatización o deshumanización. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar el léxico frecuente, analizar las tácticas concretas de …
Attacking epistemic personhood on Twitter/X
This paper reports on an examination of the actions that Spanish epistemic agents perform in order to question, challenge, undermine and/or destroy the epistemic personhood of an informer on Twitter, recently been renamed ‘X’. Relying on a corpus of reactions to information about sanitary measures released during the COVID-19 pandemic by an allegedly reliable and trustworthy information source, namely the Spanish Ministry of Health, the analysis …
Concepts and context in relevance-theoretic pragmatics
Paralanguage and ad hoc concepts
Ad hoc concept construction is regarded as a case of free pragmatic enrichment, so it is presented as a non-linguistically mandated process that is automatically accomplished during mutual parallel adjustment . Recent research suggests that this lexical pragmatic process may be marked and steered by various linguistic elements. These include evaluative morphemes, lexical and phrasal items adjacent to content words, and stylistic resources like re…
Joke identification, comprehension and appreciation by Spanish intermediate ESL learners
This paper reports on an exploratory study examining joke identification, appreciation and comprehension by Spanish intermediate ESL learners. The study is based on a relevance-theoretic classification of jokes, which assumes that humorousness results from manipulation of three parametres: make-sense frames, cultural information and utterance interpretation. It firstly ascertains whether Spanish ESL learners recognise orally-delivered samples of …
Ad hoc concepts, affective attitude and epistemic stance
In relevance-theoretic pragmatics the lower-level or first-order explicature is a propositional form resulting from a series of inferential developments of the logical form. It amounts to the message the speaker communicates explicitly. The higher-level or second-order explicature is a description of the speech act that the speaker performs, her affective attitude towards what she says or her epistemic stance to the communicated information.

The role of humorous elements in Cádiz chirigotas in creating/reinforcing a local identity
This paper adopts a relevance-theoretic perspective to analyse how chirigotas – one of the types of bands in Cádiz carnival – exploit a series of verbal and visual comic elements in order to create or reinforce local identity: (i) the names of the bands, (ii) their attire, (iii) gestures and (iv) the lyrics of their comical songs, which satirise, mock, criticise, ridicule, praise, flatter or censure events or states of affairs. These elements wil…
New developments in relevance theory
Relevance: Communication and Cognition made a breakthrough in pragmatic research, shifting the spotlight from issues pertaining to discourse production and conversational interaction to cognitive phenomena underlying human communication. In their seminal 1986 book, Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson sought to offer a comprehensive account of the inferential processes involved in utterance comprehension and how inferences are routinely made by the hum…
On the interpretation of utterances with expressive expletives
Expressive adjectives or expressive expletives have been argued to voice the speaker’s attitude towards the referent of the noun with which they co-occur, even though the attitude may be felt to be expressed about the referent of another sentential constituent or the state of affairs alluded to in the sentence where they are inserted. A previous pragmatic approach suggests that this is possible because these expletives perform an individual speec…
Is free enrichment always free? Revisiting ad hoc-concept construction
Towards a relevance-theoretic approach to the diminutive morpheme
This paper intends to lay the foundations for a relevance-theoretic approach to the diminutive morpheme. In many languages, this morpheme is attached to nouns, adjectives, adverbs or verbs. It frequently nuances their referents by providing information concerning the smallness, littleness or scarcity of the size, amount or degree of their referents. However, the semantics of this morpheme cannot always be connected with such notions. In Spanish, …

Qualifying insults, offensive epithets, slurs and expressive expletives
The category of insults comprises disparaging qualifying terms, derogatory epithets, racial/ethnic slurs and participle-like expletives. All of them channel speakers’ (negative) psychological states, so they are considered expressives. Despite the enormous interest that they have aroused, research has not duly addressed whether all types of insults communicate in the same manner, share the same nature and make a similar contribution to communicat…
Expressive APs and expletive NPs revisited
Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis
Pragmatics is a well‐established discipline in its own right and goes well beyond semantics insofar as its scope is not limited to the study of the encoded meaning of words, phrases, or sentences in a vacuum. Rather, pragmatics considers a plethora of factors such as the interlocutors' identities (their gender, age, hierarchical status, social distance, profession, membership to a community of practice or ethnic group, geographical provenance, et…
Fostering EF/SL learners’ meta-pragmatic awareness of complaints and their interactive effects
This paper suggests a series of steps for teaching complaint behaviour in English. The production of complaints requires a meta-pragmatic awareness of their interactive value and functions, their different types and realisations, pragmalinguistic formulae frequently employed or the socio-pragmatic factors affecting them, among others, which many didactic materials do not address holistically. Integrating relevant findings about complaint behaviou…
On the role of vigilance in the interpretation of puns
Humans are vigilant against deception and misinterpretation thanks to a set of cognitive mechanisms that monitor their interlocutors’ benevolence, credibility, competence and preferences, as well as the plausibility and acceptability of the interpretative hypotheses constructed. This paper explores the role of these mechanisms in the comprehension of puns. Through purposeful ambiguity, these bias the audience to an interpretation which, despite i…
Pragmatic failure, epistemic injustice and epistemic vigilance
An integrative proposal to teach the pragmatics of phatic communion in ESL classes
Learners of English may have problems or make mistakes when engaging in phatic communion, as its use requires a meta-pragmatic awareness of a wide range of complex and subtle issues, such as when and with whom to engage in it, the underlying reasons to do so, the types of phatic tokens that may be exchanged, the topics that such tokens may address, or potential effects achievable. Although many didactic materials implicitly deal with some element…
Metapsychological awareness of comprehension and epistemic vigilance of L2 communication in interlanguage pragmatic development

On the phatic interpretation of utterances
In this paper, I suggest a theoretical approach to the production and interpretation of phatic utterances aimed at complementing other previous accounts. These argue that utterances are normally interpreted as phatic either because of their occurrence in particular conversational phases forming fixed adjacency pairs with other utterances, or because interlocutors activate specific frames and process them in a particular way. Besides, the extant r…
