What linguists think everyone should know about language – on extracting salience from open-ended responses
The study reports on a global survey asking linguists what they think everyone should know about language. Specifically, we asked linguists to formulate questions that it would be important for the general public to know the answer to. We received 3,349 suggestions for such questions from 538 linguists from 49 different countries. The study undertakes a content analysis of these open-ended responses. We analyze the text data at three levels of ab…
Positive and negative risk in adventure tourism discourse
‘Risk’ is typically thought of as something negative, and as something that should be avoided at all cost: risk characteristically has to do with the probability of an unwanted event occurring. However, risk may also be seen as something positive, even energizing, as in the context of financial markets or gambling. Voluntary risk taking has typically been approached through the concepts ‘action’ and ‘edgework’. In this study, both negative and po…
Identity construction and dialect acquisition among immigrants in rural areas – the case of Swedish-language Finland
The study focuses on how transnational migration affects the socio-political peripheries of communities. Specifically, we focus on identity construction and on how identities are worked out among second-generation immigrants from Bosnia, whose parents came to the Swedish-language countryside in Finland as refugees in the early 1990s. We analyse the Bosnians’ small stories and their use of linguistic traits from the different varieties in the rura…
Modes of Expressing Finland-Swedishness
An overview of the establishment of Swedish as one of the two national languages of Finland is provided, followed by an examination of the ambiguous role of Swedish in Finland today. Proceeding from the perspective of Finland-Swedishness—the (imagined) community of Finland Swedes—the article discusses standard Finland Swedish, the traditional Swedish dialect areas, and Finland-Swedish sign language. The closeness to and contacts with speakers of …
Risk Discourse and Responsibility
The widespread view that risk is highly relevant in late modern societies has also meant that the very study of risk has become central in many areas of social studies. The key aim of this book is to establish Risk Discourse as a field of research of its own in language studies. Risk Discourse is introduced as a field that not only targets elements of risk, safety and security, but crucially requires aspects of responsibility for in-depth analysi…
Towards establishing what linguists think the general public should know about language
In order to develop effective strategies of science communication and public outreach in linguistics, one needs to choose what topics to prioritise in such efforts. We carried out a global online survey study among experts in linguistics ( n = 538) asking what they perceive as the most important facts about language that the general public should be aware of. We used two distinct methods to collect the respondents' opinions: open‐ended text respo…

Handbook of Pragmatics
This encyclopaedia of one of the major fields of language studies is a continuously updated source of state-of-the-art information for anyone interested in language use. The IPrA Handbook of Pragmatics provides easy access – for scholars with widely divergent backgrounds but with convergent interests in the use and functioning of language – to the different topics, traditions and methods which together make up the field of pragmatics, broadly con…
Handbook of Pragmatics
Socio-onomastics
The volume seeks to establish socio-onomastics as a field of linguistic inquiry not only within sociolinguistics, but also, and in particular, within pragmatics. The linguistic study of names has a very long history, but also a history sometimes fraught with skepticism, and thus often neglected by linguists in other fields. The volume takes on the challenge of instituting onomastic study into linguistics and pragmatics by focusing on recent trend…

Pragmatics in Practice
The ten volumes of Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights focus on the most salient topics in the field of pragmatics, thereby attempting to divide up its wide interdisciplinary spectrum in a transparent and manageable way. While the other volumes select specific philosophical, cognitive, grammatical, social, cultural, discursive, variational, or interactional angles, this 9th volume focuses on what pragmatics is good for – beyond the very discipline …

Language attitudes and the ideology of the Nordic
This article discusses the rise and the current standing of “Norden” (the Nordic societies) as an imagined community (Anderson, Imagined communities, Verso, 1991). The ideology of Norden as a coherent community rests on the one hand on the perceived mutual intelligibility of the Scandinavian languages, used as mother tongue or as lingua franca. On the other hand the ideology of Norden rests on a sense of historical unity. Historically, the ideolo…

You Know
The basic function the expression you know serves in conversational discourse is said to be that of a pragmatic particle used when the speaker wants the addressee to accept as mutual knowledge (or at least be cooperative with respect to) the propositional content of his utterance. The fact that you know is even used when the addressee is assumed not to know what the speaker is talking about, suggests that it functions at the deference level of po…
