Two Politeness Dilemmas in Colombian Interpersonal Ideology
This chapter is based on ethnographic fieldwork in and around Bogotá between 1987 and 2003 that consists of participant observation, individual and group interviews, analysis of audiotaped and transcribed conversation between friends and family members, and analysis of organizational documents and media texts. It explains within Bilmes' conceptualization of contradictory cultural norms to describe some politeness phenomena in Colombia as they rel…
Power in theory, in data and in pragmatics research
In this review I examine the different approaches to power theorized in this collection, attending particularly to the power dynamics of language choice in multilingual, multicultural encounters. Together the essays demonstrate a considerable range of conceptual positions on the spectrum of critical discourse analytic and sociolinguistic approaches to language use. A particularly significant difference in the approaches taken by these works is th…

Diana Boxer , Applying sociolinguistics: Domains and face-to-face interaction . Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 2002. 244 pp. Hb $108.00, Pb $47.95. This book has many fine qualities, including careful attention to what is meant by applying linguistics as opposed to applied linguistics. The author's goal is to show readers how research findings in micro-sociolinguistic interaction can be applied to several domains of public and private life: family…
Cognitive aspects of ethnographic inquiry
This article proposes that despite an explicit emphasis on language in use, the interpretive nature of ethnography (especially ethnography of speaking) and its commitment to examining cultural meanings from the native’s point of view requires inclusion of discourse presumed to relate to cognitive processes such as memory, belief, and imagination. An example of a difficult interaction is used as the basis for an argument that forms of metacommunic…
Cultural Persuadables
This article explores the subtle and pervasive influence of culture on persuasion. Based on comparison across ethnographic case studies, I propose that cultural premises and norms delineate a range of what may and what must be persuaded. Outside that range lie actions requiring no persuasive appeal because the cultural premises and norms are so strongly influential that the persuasive work is already done, and actions so contrary to cultural norm…
Core Research Traditions Within Language and Social Interaction
Research undertaken by members of the Language and Social Interaction Division of the ICA addresses diverse topics, often topics of interest to scholars in other divisions as well. But it is not the topics that particular studies address that distinguish and coalesce work in language and social interaction (LSI); it is what these studies contribute directly or indirectly to helping us understand. Work within the core traditions of LSI research gi…

The Normative Context of Advice as Social Support
Much of the existing research on social support overlooks the communicative processes that link supportive acts to beneficial effects. The present study represents an alternative approach: The authors document the multiple goals and implications of advice and the situational, conversational, and cultural context far the evaluation of advice among some White, middle-class, U.S. Americans. On the basis of observation of 112 advice episodes and inte…
Culture, Ideology, and Interpersonal Communication Research
Traditional interpersonal communication research and theory are limited, first, by a culture-specific system of understandings of the nature of persons, relationships, and communication itself that creates scope conditions for theory that generally go unrecognized, and, second, by focusing on practices and processes of communication without detailed consideration of the culturally shared understandings that make them sensible. In overcoming these…
Culture, Communication, and Preferences for Directness in Expression of Directives
Although much research and discussion about culture and communication focuses on the importance of cultural specifics, efforts to theorize in that area tend to begin from apparent universals, and then move to examination of cultural practices as diverse realizations of those universals. This article examines a particular case of cross-cultural theorizing, in regard to preferences for expression of directives. Speakers can opt to express directive…
The issue of Selection of Objects of Analysis in Ethnographies of Speaking
A cross‐cultural study of directive sequences and some implications for compliance‐gaining research
Compliance gaining has been widely studied in communication research as a phenomenon central to interpersonal life. Yet the category of attempts to compel the actions of others, labeled as directives in pragmatics and ethnography, has received little specific attention, despite its close connection to actual spoken life. This essay presents an ethnographic examination of directive sequences in two speech communities, one in the U.S. and one in Co…
The interplay of linguistic universals and cultural knowledge in personal address
A general question that communication theories seek to answer is what kinds of resources and knowledge must be drawn upon for communication to take place. This essay proposes that the question may usefully be pursued through investigation of personal address. It elucidates ten address terms in Colombian Spanish derived from the central term madre, “mother.” From the data, a functional model of personal address is generated which incorporates both…

The Urbanization of Rural Dialect Speakers
If you speak Spanish they'll think you're a German
The present research attempts to study language attitudes in innovative ways. Specifically, our problem is how to examine the language‐switching event as a context that reveals language attitudes of communicators. The major findings reported here concern a mulu'lingual school setting in Spain in which language choice and language‐switching are everyday occurrences. Open‐ended interviews supplemented with observational data were used to study atti…
