Visual and verbal governance
Increasingly, choice architecture interventions aiming to steer people toward desired behaviours have become popular among policymakers. From a multimodal critical discourse analytic perspective, this study scrutinizes the ways in which such interventions are accomplished visually and verbally in official COVID-19 campaign posters, collected between 2020 and 2022 in the lesser-studied context of South Korea. Treating these texts as tools of behav…
Framing the Coronavirus Epidemic Through Intertextual Practices
This study deconstructs the way in which journalists in two lesser-studied contexts framed a major health crisis through the lens of intertextuality. Based on a corpus of English-language newspaper reports from Japan and South Korea from 2020 to 2022, the study explicates the way in which the risks, urgency, and gravity of the COVID-19 crisis are talked into being, amplified, or downplayed through the complex interaction of the quoted and reporte…
Doing relational negotiation through numbers
Conceptualizing numbers as a multimodal semiotic resource, the study takes a social-constructivist perspective to explore the interpersonal dimension of numerical claims in crisis communication. Bringing into dialog a pragmatic view of trust repair and a critical approach, the study analyzes a corpus of COVID-19 press briefings by the Thai government after three incidents of disease control failures and explicates the way numbers in various modes…
Doing newsworthiness in execution news and death penalty ideology
Based on a corpus of execution news articles from Thailand, this study takes a discourse analytic approach to scrutinize what news values are construed as dominant and the way in which ideologically significant lexico-grammatical choices are orchestrated to frame public perceptions of the death penalty. The findings indicate that the news values of Negativity and Eliteness predominate, serving to exaggerate the violence of the executed individual…
Negotiating trust through Covid-19 press briefings
Drawing from televised COVID-19 press briefings, this study explicates how the interplay between verbal and visual resources help policy makers restore public trust following organization-level failures by neutralizing unfavorable discourses that threaten the public’s perceptions of their competence, integrity and benevolence and by emphasizing positive aspects associated with these factors. The findings reveal that these mediated multimodal spee…
Reanimating experts and authorities
This study explores the incorporation of experts’ and authorities’ voices in COVID-19 news articles with respect to their distribution and discursive functions. Based on a corpus 90 articles from 2020 to 2022 in The Korea Herald, the analysis reveals that reporters rely heavily and, at times, uncritically, on biomedical voices, representing them as a homogeneous group that provides a superior form of knowledge. The discursive functions range from…
Linguistic purification of violence in the press
The aim of this study is to probe for the discursive construction of shared beliefs about capital punishment. Drawing upon a specialized corpus of execution news, the study explores representational practices, including social actor naming, action description, and incorporation of voices, and compares respective lexico-grammatical choices that are orchestrated to reconstruct the events of executions in Thailand from 1997 to 2017. The findings rev…
Membership categorization devices in courtroom opening and closing speeches
Through the lens of Membership Categorization Analysis, this study explicates the process of discursive categorization in courtroom opening and closing statements, focusing on the use of mundane categories as well as associated activities to negotiate the legal facticity of a criminal offense. Based on the official transcripts of a high-profile Anglo-American trial, the study reveals that much of what constitutes the opening and closing is the di…
Lawyers' metapragmatic expressions in the opening speech of Anglo-American criminal trials
Moral legitimation in capital trials
Underpinned by the assumption that the legitimacy of a social practice is obtained discursively, this study proposes a linguistically-grounded model for examining moral legitimation in the sentencing phase of capital trials. Drawing upon state lawyers’ closing speech in six capital trials (Indiana, USA), the study identifies key strategies the State uses to justify death and explores their ideological basis. The quantitative findings indicate tha…
Dramatic monologues
This investigation examines different speaking roles that lawyers may shift into, and depart from, in the monologic genre of the opening statement in three American trials, incorporating Goffman’s concept of Footing (1981) into an analysis of three high-profile trials. The findings reveal that lawyers take on three distinct discursive roles: The storyteller, the interlocutor, and the animator. In addition, indexical resources commonly associated …
The bullets brought the curtain down on that lowlife’
Underpinned by the polemical idea that governments have redefined their role as a penal actor that prioritizes the practices of repressing, punishing, and confining people (instead of tackling the very complex root causes), this study scrutinizes how the press discursively collaborates with the State in 'governing through crime' (Simon, J. (2007). Governing through crime: How the war on crime transformed American democracy and created a culture o…
The pragmatics of metapragmatics in death trials
Dissecting shelter for the displaced immigrants’ operations and challenges in the 2015 xenophobic violence in Durban
The 2015 xenophobic attacks in Durban left thousands of the victims mostly displaced foreign nationals in the shelters arranged by the South African government in accordance with the regulations of the United Nations. Millions were spent by the government in ensuring and providing basic services and necessities and professional assistance by a number of government departments, civil society groups and universities. Despite these concerted coordin…
Social distance and speech behavior
This study investigates the production and perception of apology responses (ARs) of English-using Pakistanis (L2), British English speakers (Native speakers of the target language), and Pakistani Urdu speaker (L1) under the influence of social distance variables. For data collection, two instruments are used; a discourse completion test (DCT in English and Urdu) and a scale response questionnaire (SRQ in English and Urdu). Further, at neutral and…
Linguistic politeness of Pakistani English and British English speakers
This study examines sociocultural, pragmatic, and gender differences between native speakers of British English (BritE) and Pakistani English speakers (PakE) in expressing apology responses (ARs). Based on a discourse completion task (DCT) using data from 60 speakers of both cultures, the study focuses on the variations in the use of apology response strategies in three severe and three non-severe situations. The findings show that the two groups…
Functions of the discourse marker So in the LINDSEI-AR corpus
This article aims to explore the functions of the discourse marker so in the LINDSEI-AR corpus. This corpus forms the first part of LINDSEI, representing English used by Arab learners. The participants in this study were advanced Saudi learners of English in their third and fourth years of undergraduate study. There are five discourse marker functions of so in the learner corpus, occurring with different frequencies. The most frequent use is so i…
A Corpus based analysis of the application of “concluding transition signals” in academic texts
This corpus-based study aimed at investigating Concluding Transition Signals’ (CTS) frequency, functions, and grammatical formula within the academic texts. Accordingly, nine CTSs were taken based on thetaxonomy described in the introduction section. Then, 400 different samples of CTSs were selected and analyzed within the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) both qualitatively and quantitatively. Findings revealed that the frequency of…
Diachronic corpus analysis of stance markers in research articles
Despite the continuously growing body of research on metadiscourse markers in different genres and through various perspectives for over 20 years, very little is known of how these features have evolved over time in response to the historically developing practices of academic communities. Motivated by such an ambition, the current research drew on a corpus of 4.3 million words taken from three leading journals of applied linguistics in order to …
Rethinking arbitrariness of language and its implication in language use
Language is said to be the arbitrary vocal symbol. This implies that language consists of speech sounds (e.g., sounds produced by using speech organs) based on the social agreement or convention. A certain word has a meaning because of the language users have given it. A word and its meaning are the results of social agreement or convention. This article is an attempt to develop the coverage of arbitrariness of a language relating to the concept …
Verbal humor in selected Indonesian stand up comedian’s discourse
Humor is inevitable and can be found in many aspects of human life. In Indonesia, stand-up comedy (SUC) becomes a trend proven by the existence of some talent competitions in this area. This study attempts to investigate verbal humor in SUC discourse by implementing general verbal theory of humor (GVTH). This study employed content analysis as the research design. The data were obtained from five selected audio-video recording of SUC of Dodit Mul…
A comparative study of tense and aspect categories in Arabic and English
Based on the definition of “tense” and “aspect”, this review paper intends to compare and analyze the similarities and differences between Arabic and English tense and aspect categories in terms of their forms, functions and usage. Moreover, in the current review paper, I propose comparison and analysis that account for tense and aspect categories in Arabic and English. The comparison and analysis are based on the qualitative method which depends…
Agency, Responsibility, and Actor Positioning In Courtroom Narratives
Viewing language as a system consisting of grammatical resources for meaning making, this study explores how agency and responsibility are attributed in legal narratives through the lens of transitivity. Drawing upon the opening address of three American trials, the quantitative and qualitative findings indicate that agency and blameworthiness of the individuals on trial are discursively negotiated through starkly different grammatical choices, s…
Making death (in)different
Adopting Van Leeuwen's model of legitimation, this study critically scrutinizes the ways in which the State validates a death sentence and uncovers patterns of legitimizing strategies, along with their lexico-grammatical manifestations in the penalty phase of capital trials, including moralization, rationalization and authorization. The findings reveal that moralization plays a part in constructing "us-them" boundaries through negative evaluative…
Representing people in execution news
Performing self on the witness stand
Underpinned by the assumption that social categorizations emerge from discursive practices performed within the interactional context, this study examines the discursive process in which an expert witness constructs and negotiates persuasive courtroom accounts. Using insights from the concept of ‘footing’ and the framework of stance and engagement, this study reveals the ways in which an expert witness calls upon a range of interactional devices …

Person reference, identity, and linguistic violence in capital trials
Deconstructing competing courtroom narratives
Underpinned by the assumption that the import of the facts and the law in the courtroom depends on how they are invoked and (re)presented mainly through language use by courtroom interactants, this functional linguistic study critically scrutinizes representation strategies that opposing lawyers use to position social actors in their narratives, integrating Halliday’s concept of transitivity and van Leeuwen’s inventory of social actor representat…
Referential practice and contested identities in legal narratives
Use of voices in legal opening statements
A powerful determinant of the outcome of a trial, the opening statement is the first opportunity for lawyers from each side to construct a factual narrative of events that makes sense and sounds plausible to the jury. Although it is created entirely by a lawyer and delivered in monologic speech, the genre shows traces of other voices. Regarding voice as a semiotic resource that allows reanimators to incorporate multiple perspectives, the study ex…
Interactive patterns of the opening statement in criminal trials
This study examines the discursive history and interactive aspects of the opening statement in Anglo-American courts. Informed by the concepts of stance and engagement, the study explicates the process of conceptual interaction which turns the jurors into co-constructors of the discourse, thereby making the opening statement fictively dialogic. Drawing upon 51 opening statements as recorded in Proceedings of the Old Bailey, between 1759 and 1789,…

Let’s kill him”
Viewing pronouns as a semiotic resource that is central to self/other positioning, this study explores constitutive and performative functions of self-reference pronouns in the institutional context of the penalty phase of capital trials. Based on a corpus of 12 closing arguments, the findings indicate that self-reference pronouns are not simply indexical tools of reference in this monologic discursive event but also serve to activate and foregro…
Re-visiting Salem
This paper invites the reader to revisit the accused individuals’ response strategies in the Salem witchcraft trials from the perspective of pragmatic politeness. However, politeness, as used in this paper, refers to politeness to self, for the sake of one’s face — a concept that is different from, yet not incompatible with, that of Brown and Levinson (1987). The paper argues that it is more realistic to examine the trials from this perspective b…
Hopefully
WITH ONLY a few exceptions, such as then and why , English adverbs are categorized as content words that express referential meanings in both the physical and abstract worlds. Like nouns and verbs, they belong to the ‘open’ class of lexemes , in which new words can be created through processes that include compounding, derivation, and borrowing. From compounding come adverbs such as hopefully (formed from the noun hope and the adjective full , pl…
A Historical Pragmatic Study of Apologies
In this paper, the realizations of apologies as evidenced in the Essex pauper letters of 19 th century England are explored. The paper takes a critical look at the forms and functions of apologies, arguing that apologies in such texts are conventionalized in form. Taking into consideration the social norms of writing specific to this speech community, the study makes a distinction between two main functions of apologies and argues that apologies …

Interaction in early modern news discourse
This investigation examines the interactional dimension of the preface section of an early form of news discourse. Informed by the framework of metadiscourse and incorporating insights from the study of stance and evaluation, this study explicates the ways in which the witchcraft pamphleteers strategically structured and designed the texts to secure readers' agreement through conceptual interaction. Differences in the selection of metadiscourse c…

Dialogic features and interpersonal management in the early courtroom action game
There are certain areas where present-day studies of language use can learn from history. Using a dialogue-analytic approach, this study investigates dialogic features and interpersonal management in the early English courtroom. Drawing upon a corpus of 81 opening statements from the Proceedings of the Old Bailey (1759–1799), the quantitative and qualitative analysis reveals that this courtroom action game is highly dialogic and that an active ju…
Investigating audience orientation in courtroom communication
This study presents an empirical study of audience orientation, investigating lawyers’ overt interpersonal negotiation with jurors. Drawing upon a corpus of the closing arguments of five high-profile American trials, the quantitative and qualitative analysis identifies the traces and degree of the jury’s presence through pronominal choices, questions, directives, references to shared knowledge and asides. Such relational practice does not merely …

Names and Identities in Courtroom Narratives
This study seeks to examine how the use of names serves to accomplish the process of identity construction in institutional discourse. Drawing upon six opening addresses from three high-profile trials, the study analyzes the forms, functions, and frequency of names that lawyers use to refer to defendants and victims in their narratives. The quantitative and qualitative analysis reveals that the prosecution and the defense differ starkly in how th…

An analysis of translation errors in 5 literary genres based on American Translation Association (ATA) framework
The analysis of translation errors holds a great deal of importance in the realm of translation studies. Accordingly, many pieces of research have been done on the topic of translation errors analysis in different text types including religious, journalistic, tourism, commercial, and legal texts. Nevertheless, no research has been conducted within literary genres with regard to translation errors from English to Persian. Thus, the present study a…
