  • Handbook of Pragmatics

    Jef Verschueren, Jon-Ola ÖstmanBOOKHandbook of Pragmatics2022

    The Manual section of the Handbook of Pragmatics, produced under the auspices of the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA), is a collection of articles describing traditions, methods, and notational systems relevant to the field of linguistic pragmatics; the main body of the Handbook contains all topical articles. The first edition of the Manual was published in 1995. This second edition includes a large number of new traditions and methods…

  • Indexical ‘mismatch’; or, adaptability at work

    Open AccessJef VerschuerenARTICLEPragmatics Quarterly Publication…2022

    This epilogue reflects on the notions of ‘irregularity’ and ‘mismatch’ which form the leitmotiv for this issue on perspectivization in language use, and more specifically on perspective shift and perspective persistence. While endorsing the approach, it is suggested that, given the complexities involved (who orients to what aspects of context and how?) any stable form-function coding would probably fail to perform the communicative task at hand, …

  • Notes on the role of metapragmatic awareness in language use

    Open AccessJef VerschuerenARTICLEPragmatics Quarterly Publication…2022

    Against the background of a general theory of pragmatics, reflections are formulated on the central role of metapragmatic awareness as a specific manifestation of salience, the status of processes of meaning generation in language use in relation to the cognitive apparatus. First the notions of metalanguage and metapragmatics, as used in linguistics, are discussed. Then metalinguistic and metapragmatic phenomena are presented as reflections of me…

  • A touch of class

    Open AccessJef VerschuerenARTICLEPragmatics Quarterly Publication…2022

    This paper describes how political discourse, as manifested in the policy statements of two Flemish political parties which assign to themselves the epithet ‘social’, contributes to the erasion of group-based or class- related forms of social inequality. A brief comparison with the academic defense of ‘Third Way’ politics (in the work of Anthony Giddens) leads to the suggestion that we are witnessing a hegemonic process

  • Diversity, Linguistic

    Open AccessJef VerschuerenOTHERThe International Encyclopedia of…2020

    This entry starts out with a discussion, in very broad strokes, of the evolutionary basis of linguistic diversity. What follows is an overview of the many ways in which languages differ and a description of how diversity relates to space and time. The argument is made that even though diversity is not unrestricted, true universals are few and far between. Then the way in which linguists cope with diversity (with terms such as superdiversity or tr…

  • Humanities and the public sphere

    Jef VerschuerenARTICLEPragmatics and Society2016

    This article starts from the observation of current changes in the nature of a globalizing public sphere for which older structural boundaries have lost much of their relevance. Though the public sphere has traditionally been a topic for social scientists (and philosophers), a redefinition in terms of the realm of publicly accessible meaning, and of struggles over socially and politically important meaning, necessitates a contribution from the hu…

  • Argumentation in discourse and grammar

    Roberta Piazza, Jan Blommaert et al.BOOKHandbook of Pragmatics2015Referências: 56

    This chapter explores the intersection of argumentation theory and discourse analysis, examining how argumentation structures are manifested in grammar and discourse. It argues that argumentation is not merely a rhetorical device but a fundamental aspect of language use, shaping how we construct meaning and interact with others. The authors analyze various discourse phenomena, including connectives, modality, and evidentials, demonstrating how th…

  • Ethnography of Communication and History

    Open AccessJef VerschuerenARTICLEJournal of Linguistic Anthropology2013Citada por: 2Referências: 10

    This article shows that an ethnography of communication approach is not only relevant to an understanding of how ways of speaking and language codes define the social-group boundaries of specific speech communities, but (1) that it can be equally pertinent to the analysis of the ideologies and language use of certain communities of practice, and (2) that it can be used to trace historical developments in such communities of practice intertextuall…

While other volumes select philosophical, cognitive, cultural, social, variational, interactional, or discursive points of view, this fifth volume looks at the field of linguistic pragmatics from a primarily grammatical angle. That is, it asks in wh…

While other volumes select philosophical, cognitive, grammatical, social, variational, interactional, or discursive angles, this second volume reviews basic topics and traditions that place language use in its cultural context.

  • Intercultural Communication and the Challenges of Migration1

    Jef VerschuerenARTICLELanguage and Intercultural…2008Citada por: 11Referências: 7

    This paper discusses some basic properties of intercultural communication (treated from the point of view of linguistic pragmatics as fundamentally similar to any other form of communication, and emphasising the need to move radically away from any essentialist substantiation of ‘culture’) against the background of contexts of migration. Three fields of tension are distinguished in the way in which meanings are generated under (predominantly inst…
