It is commonly supposed that Vietnamese has a three-term system of demonstratives with representative forms such as đây, đấy, and kia. These demonstratives are used as utterance-final particles (UFPs) with various pragmatic meanings. While demonstratives have basic indicating functions, their usage as UFPs is related to the subjective and intersubjective (or interpersonal) stance of the speaker. This study examines how some of these particles are used to encode epistemic stances in family dinner conversations. Speakers frequently use medial demonstratives đấy and ấy as well as distal demonstrative kia to indicate the status of knowledge of the speaker and hearer. These particles are also used as interactional markers; for instance, đấy can be used as a positive politeness marker; ấy exhibits solidarity; and kia expresses counter-expectation. The use of demonstratives as interactional particles has also been observed in the Kra-Dai and Austronesian languages. This study of Vietnamese, a Mon-Khmer language, provides further opportunities to cross-linguistically identify potential generalizations of the development of demonstratives as discourse particles.

一般认为越南语有三个指示词系统，代表形式有đây、đấy和kia。这些指示词作为语末助词使用，具有不同的语用意义。虽然指示语具有基本的指示功能，但它的使用与说话人的主观和主体间（或人际）立场有关。本研究探讨了如何使用这些粒子来编码家庭晚餐谈话中的认知立场。说话者经常使用中间指示代词đấy和ấy以及远端指示代词kia来表示说话者和听话者的知识状况。这些粒子也被用作相互作用的标记；例如，đấy可以用作积极的礼貌标记；ấy展示团结；kia表示反期望。在喀拉-戴语和南岛语中也观察到指示语作为相互作用的助词的使用。越南语是一种孟高棉语，这项研究为跨语言识别指示词作为语篇小品的发展的潜在概括提供了进一步的机会。

By using video-ethnographic data and multimodal interaction analysis, the present study examines how a shift in frame and frame laminations are achieved through embodied actions involving interpersonal touch. The study takes its analytical point of departure in the recognizable multimodal and multisensorial design of interactions between adults and young, 2–3-year-old, children (in early childhood educational settings in Sweden) and explores what are here viewed as “playful,” or ludic, embodied interactional practices. Multimodal configurations involving talk and touch are used by adults (caregivers) as a response to children's non-compliance, as well as to various actions, such as complaints or refusals, indexed by children's negative affective stances (manifesting distress, whining, complaining). A common feature is that playful touch and talk are used to index a positive stance (often, a contrasting stance to the addressee's) and to manipulate the recipient's bodily experiences. Playful re-keying and frame lamination have multiple functions: they are mobilized in the service of instrumental actions, they can also be enjoyable, resulting in a shared positive affect and social ambience. The study contributes to our understanding of human sociality, specifically, caregiving practices as multifaceted, characterized by playfulness and non-serious conduct, during matter-of-fact social interactions.

通过使用视频人种学数据和多模态交互分析，本研究探讨了框架和框架分层是如何通过涉及人际接触的具体行动实现的。该研究的分析出发点是成年人和2 - 3岁儿童（在瑞典的早期儿童教育环境中）互动的可识别的多模态和多感官设计，并探索这里被视为“好玩的”或滑稽的、具体化的互动实践。成人（照顾者）使用多模式配置，包括说话和触摸，作为对儿童不服从的反应，以及对各种行为的反应，如抱怨或拒绝，以儿童的消极情感立场（表现出痛苦、呜咽、抱怨）为指标。一个共同的特点是，开玩笑的触摸和谈话被用来表示积极的立场（通常是与收件人的立场形成对比），并操纵收件人的身体体验。有趣的重键和框架层压具有多种功能：它们可以为工具动作服务，它们也可以令人愉快，从而产生共享的积极影响和社会氛围。这项研究有助于我们对人类社会性的理解，特别是在现实的社会互动中，照顾行为是多方面的，以好玩和不严肃的行为为特征。

“Shortlisting candidates”: Syntactically incomplete turns in assessments of absent third parties “候选名单”：对缺席的第三方的评估在句法上不完整

In group discussions where participants evaluate and make selections of non-present third parties, making negative assessments is a potentially face-threatening and socially delicate action that requires caution and deliberation. Previous research has identified syntactically incomplete turns as a key interactional resource in treating a matter as delicate, leaving negative assessments unsaid when they are due. However, the use of syntactically incomplete turns in multi-party interaction remains underexplored. The current study contributes to this line of research by investigating how a steering committee of older adults in a retirement community, who are non-hierarchical peers planning a community-wide event, assess their neighbors as candidates for leadership roles. Based on an examination of approximately 12 h of audio-visual recordings of meetings, we identify two types of syntactically incomplete turns: first, those appropriately received and responded to but not syntactically completed by recipients, and second, those syntactically co-completed by recipients. In the former case, speakers continue to either pursue or abandon the projection of delicacy. In the latter case, speakers eschew delicacy and express their epistemic authority in making the assessment. Our findings contribute to the existing knowledge of delicacy projection and management when making negative assessments as part of group decision-making. In particular, by examining the multimodal nature of syntactically incomplete turns in face-to-face interaction, this research illuminates how “hidden prejudices” of a selection committee might play out in the turn-by-turn deliberations by committee members.

在小组讨论中，参与者评估和选择不在场的第三方，做出负面评估是一种潜在的威胁脸和社会微妙的行为，需要谨慎和深思熟虑。先前的研究已经发现，句法不完整的转折是处理微妙问题的关键互动资源，在到期时留下负面评价。然而，在多人互动中使用语法不完全回合仍然有待探索。目前的研究通过调查一个退休社区的老年人指导委员会如何评估他们的邻居作为领导角色的候选人，为这一研究领域做出了贡献，这些老年人是没有等级制度的同龄人，计划着一个社区范围的活动。基于对大约12小时的会议视听记录的检查，我们确定了两种类型的语法不完整的转折：第一，那些适当地接收和回应，但没有语法上完成的收件人，第二，那些语法上共同完成的收件人。在前一种情况下，说话者要么继续追求微妙的投射，要么继续放弃微妙的投射。在后一种情况下，说话者在做出评估时避开了微妙，表达了他们的认知权威。我们的研究结果有助于现有的精细预测和管理知识，当做出负面评估作为群体决策的一部分。特别是，通过考察面对面互动中句法不完整回合的多模态性质，本研究阐明了评选委员会的“隐性偏见”如何在委员会成员的回合审议中发挥作用。

Turn-taking, interruption and (Im)Politeness: Evidence from Saudi Arabic interactions 轮流，打断和（Im）礼貌：来自沙特阿拉伯互动的证据

This study contributes to existing research on impoliteness, inappropriate social behaviors, and social relationships. It examines how politeness emerges in the practices of speakers and hearers when interruption occurs as an interactional phenomenon in Saudi Arabian interactions. The analysis applies a Conversation Analytic (CA) approach to observe participants' orientations toward impolite behavior. It also draws on Brown and Levinson's (1978, 1987) concept of face, while aligning more closely with Goffman's (1967) view of face as a dynamic construction of public image and social relationships. The data set comprises 172 min of recorded interactions among 24 male Saudi participants. The findings reveal that interrupters follow a culturally appropriate interactional pattern by 'doing interrupting' (Bilmes, 1997) to maintain speakers' positive face and to preempt potential complaints of disaffiliative behavior, which might arise if this pattern were not followed. They also reveal how participants orient to speakers' positive face by inviting them to resume their interrupted turns.

本研究对不礼貌、不恰当的社会行为和社会关系的研究有一定的贡献。它考察了在沙特阿拉伯的互动中，当打断作为一种互动现象发生时，礼貌是如何在说话者和听者的实践中出现的。该分析采用会话分析（CA）的方法来观察参与者对不礼貌行为的倾向。它还借鉴了Brown和Levinson（1978、1987）的“脸”概念，同时与Goffman（1967）关于“脸”是公共形象和社会关系的动态建构的观点更接近。该数据集包括24名沙特男性参与者之间172分钟的记录互动。研究结果表明，打断者遵循一种文化上适当的互动模式，即“打断”（Bilmes, 1997），以保持说话者的积极面貌，并先发制人，如果不遵循这种模式，可能会出现对脱离行为的潜在抱怨。他们还通过邀请演讲者继续他们被打断的回合来揭示参与者如何适应演讲者积极的面孔。

Narrative cues to implicatures in classic novels: Explorations in Pride and Prejudice and The Age of Innocence 经典小说的叙事暗示：《傲慢与偏见》和《纯真年代》的探索

Understanding implicit meaning in face-to-face communication largely depends on background knowledge and context, including nonverbal and prosodic cues. Readers of novels, however, are confined to the written text, which requires authors and narrators to skillfully bridge informational gaps and compensate for missing modalities to facilitate comprehension. In doing so, they often integrate conversational implicatures to enhance the naturalness and authenticity of fictional dialogues. However, as Grice (1975, 1978) notes, conversational implicatures form only a certain subclass of nonconventional implicatures, raising the possibility that such phenomena might also emerge in the narrative passages and internal monologues of characters in novels. Through several examples drawn from two classic novels—Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence—this paper highlights various narrative techniques that guide the reader in recognizing nonconventional implicatures. While irony markers have been extensively studied, general discussions of implicatures tend to focus narrowly on the Cooperative Principle and its conversational maxims (or other principles, heuristics, etc.), often overlooking the multimodal cues that may aid inferential processing. By contrast, emphasis is placed here on the literary tools novelists employ to render implicatures accessible to readers, ranging from clarifying and elaborating background information to evoking verbal and nonverbal cues, paralinguistic signals, and expressive uses of punctuation and typography.

在面对面交流中理解隐含意义很大程度上取决于背景知识和语境，包括非语言和韵律线索。然而，小说的读者被限制在书面文本中，这就要求作者和叙述者巧妙地弥合信息差距，弥补缺失的形式，以促进理解。在这样做的过程中，他们经常整合对话的含义，以提高虚构对话的自然和真实性。然而，正如Grice（1974,1978）所指出的那样，会话暗示只是非常规暗示的一个子类，这就增加了这种现象也可能出现在小说中叙事段落和人物内心独白中的可能性。通过简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》和伊迪丝·沃顿的《纯真年代》这两部经典小说中的几个例子，本文强调了引导读者认识非传统含义的各种叙事技巧。虽然反语标记已被广泛研究，但一般意义上的讨论倾向于狭隘地关注合作原则及其会话准则（或其他原则、启发式等），往往忽略了可能有助于推理加工的多模态线索。相比之下，这里的重点放在小说家用来让读者理解隐含意义的文学工具上，从澄清和详细阐述背景信息到唤起口头和非口头线索、副语言信号，以及标点和排版的表达性使用。

This study explores the interactional dynamics of technology-enabled treatments in which parents record their child for remote assessment by physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Focusing on parents of children with cerebral palsy, we examine how video recordings function as a visual tool for professional evaluation and coaching. Specifically, we analyze the variety of recording practices parents use to present therapeutic activities. Using an ethnomethodology-inspired microanalysis, we investigate the parents' camerawork when documenting treatment sessions at home. Data consist of videos uploaded to a digital platform. Findings highlight how parents actively shape what is assessed through filming choices, reflecting a form of ‘reflection in action.’ By analyzing video beginnings, endings, and camera-strategies, we identify variations in planned versus spontaneous filming approaches, as well as differences between manipulating the camera or the environment to optimize the camera view. The recording practices we identified contribute to better understanding of asynchronous remote care, revealing the critical role of parents in facilitating professional assessment and coaching through asynchronous video submissions. The findings underscore the evolving role of video in healthcare, particularly in remote and home-based treatments, where parents' visual documentation considerably impacts the course of the therapeutic process. We discuss how the dual role parents take on during TET blurs the lines between caregiving and professional practice. We highlight the flexibility and challenges faced by parents in integrating treatment into daily life while ensuring that the video content meets the presumed requirements and shed light on what parents present as relevant for the professionals to assess.

本研究探讨了技术治疗的互动动力学，在这种治疗中，父母记录他们的孩子，供物理治疗师和职业治疗师远程评估。以脑瘫儿童的父母为研究对象，我们研究了视频记录如何作为专业评估和指导的视觉工具。具体地说，我们分析了父母用来呈现治疗活动的各种记录实践。使用民族方法学启发的微观分析，我们调查了父母在家里记录治疗过程时的摄影。数据包括上传到数字平台的视频。研究结果强调了父母如何通过选择拍摄影片来积极影响评估内容，这反映了一种“反思在行动”的形式。“通过分析视频的开头、结尾和拍摄策略，我们确定了计划与自发拍摄方法的差异，以及操纵摄像机或环境以优化摄像机视图之间的差异。”我们确定的录音实践有助于更好地理解异步远程护理，揭示了家长在通过异步视频提交促进专业评估和指导方面的关键作用。研究结果强调了视频在医疗保健中不断发展的作用，特别是在远程和家庭治疗中，父母的视觉记录对治疗过程的影响很大。我们讨论了父母在TET期间扮演的双重角色如何模糊了照顾和专业实践之间的界限。我们强调了父母在将治疗融入日常生活中所面临的灵活性和挑战，同时确保视频内容符合预期要求，并阐明了父母所呈现的与专业人员评估相关的内容。

Towards first-order pragmatics: How lay people talk about speech (inter)actions 走向一阶语用学：外行人如何谈论言语（交互）行为

In this Virtual Special Issue we argue for the necessity of first-order pragmatics as a field of inquiry researching the ways language users communicate about language use and what the analysis reveals about underlying concepts, which are indispensable components of any person's pragmatic competence. The focus is on lay persons' conceptualisations of e.g. speech acts, rhetorical practices, and (im)politeness, and also on how they relate to second-order conceptualisations of these phenomena developed by professionals in linguistics, language philosophy, and further academic disciplines. The contributions to this issue demonstrate which research questions can be addressed in first-order pragmatics, which methods can be employed to answer them, and which contexts are useful in specific ways. The contributions also help to clarify the relationship between first-order pragmatics and related fields such as metapragmatics, folk pragmatics, and studies of speech act recognition and conversation processing.

在这期虚拟特刊中，我们认为有必要将一阶语用学作为一个探究领域，研究语言使用者就语言使用进行交流的方式，以及分析所揭示的潜在概念，这些概念是任何人的语用能力不可或缺的组成部分。重点是外行人的概念化，例如言语行为，修辞实践和（im）礼貌，以及它们如何与语言学，语言哲学和其他学科专业人士开发的这些现象的二阶概念化相关。对这一问题的贡献表明，哪些研究问题可以用一级语用学来解决，哪些方法可以用来回答这些问题，哪些上下文在特定的方面是有用的。这些贡献还有助于澄清一阶语用学与元语用学、民间语用学以及言语行为识别和会话处理研究等相关领域的关系。

Gender variability in the prosodic production of compliments in Italian: A pilot study 意大利语中赞美语韵律产生的性别差异：一项初步研究

The aim of this research is to examine the prosody of Italian compliments. Previous research on compliments has devoted minimal attention to the prosodic aspect of these expressions, and little attention has been addressed to the question of compliments in Italian. However, issues regarding intonation and duration seem to be of pivotal importance in the construction of compliments and in the differentiation of compliment responses.

To this end, a corpus of oral Discourse Completion Tasks (DCT) was analysed to describe a contextual situation in which speakers were required to offer a compliment. Eight Italian participants (4 men and 4 women) were asked to read the DCTs and provide an appropriate response to the given scenario. The comparisons were made between male and female participants, without considering cross-gender compliments. There were notable differences in the lexical and intonation preferences of the female and male participants. Acoustic analysis revealed evidence of gender-based differences in the prosody of compliments, specifically in terms of pitch range and duration. In particular, male participants showed a wider pitch range and longer stressed nuclear vowels than their female counterparts. These findings suggest a correlation between the prosodic strategies observed and the lexical choices present in the compliments. The data indicated that men used longer compliments with low lexical density and a greater number of implicit expressions, whereas women produced shorter compliments with a higher semantic density than those produced by their male counterparts. This was due to the higher incidence of intensifiers and positive words used by women. These features increased the number of high-pitched accents in the intonation contours of women's utterances, as well as the global pitch range, resulting in more expressive and affective compliments compared to those of men. This study broadens our understanding of Italian compliments by examining them from both lexical and prosodic perspectives. By addressing the lack of research on the prosody of compliments—particularly within the underexplored context of Italian discourse—it makes a valuable contribution to the field of pragmatics.

这项研究的目的是研究意大利语赞美语的韵律。以往关于赞美的研究很少关注这些表达的韵律方面，很少关注意大利语中的赞美问题。然而，语调和持续时间问题似乎在恭维语的构建和恭维语反应的区分中起着至关重要的作用。为此，我们分析了一个口头话语完成任务语料库，以描述说话者被要求提供赞美的语境情况。8名意大利参与者（4男4女）被要求阅读dct，并对给定的场景做出适当的反应。这些比较是在男性和女性参与者之间进行的，没有考虑到跨性别的赞美。女性和男性在词汇和语调偏好上存在显著差异。声学分析揭示了赞美的韵律存在性别差异的证据，特别是在音高范围和持续时间方面。特别是，男性参与者比女性参与者表现出更宽的音域和更长的重音元音。这些发现表明，所观察到的韵律策略与赞美词中的词汇选择之间存在相关性。数据表明，男性的赞美语较长，词汇密度低，含蓄表达较多，而女性的赞美语较短，语义密度高于男性。这是由于女性使用强化词和积极词汇的频率更高。这些特征增加了女性说话的语调轮廓中高音的数量，以及全球音高范围，因此与男性相比，女性的赞美更具表现力和情感。本研究从词汇和韵律两个方面对意大利语的恭维语进行了考察，拓宽了我们对其的理解。通过解决对恭维语韵律研究的不足，特别是在意大利语篇的未充分开发的背景下，它对语用学领域做出了宝贵的贡献。

{"title":"Gender variability in the prosodic production of compliments in Italian: A pilot study","authors":"Patrizia Sorianello, Glenda Gurrado","doi":"10.1016/j.pragma.2025.09.005","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.pragma.2025.09.005","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>The aim of this research is to examine the prosody of Italian compliments. Previous research on compliments has devoted minimal attention to the prosodic aspect of these expressions, and little attention has been addressed to the question of compliments in Italian. However, issues regarding intonation and duration seem to be of pivotal importance in the construction of compliments and in the differentiation of compliment responses.</div><div>To this end, a corpus of oral Discourse Completion Tasks (DCT) was analysed to describe a contextual situation in which speakers were required to offer a compliment. Eight Italian participants (4 men and 4 women) were asked to read the DCTs and provide an appropriate response to the given scenario. The comparisons were made between male and female participants, without considering cross-gender compliments. There were notable differences in the lexical and intonation preferences of the female and male participants. Acoustic analysis revealed evidence of gender-based differences in the prosody of compliments, specifically in terms of pitch range and duration. In particular, male participants showed a wider pitch range and longer stressed nuclear vowels than their female counterparts. These findings suggest a correlation between the prosodic strategies observed and the lexical choices present in the compliments. The data indicated that men used longer compliments with low lexical density and a greater number of implicit expressions, whereas women produced shorter compliments with a higher semantic density than those produced by their male counterparts. This was due to the higher incidence of intensifiers and positive words used by women. These features increased the number of high-pitched accents in the intonation contours of women's utterances, as well as the global pitch range, resulting in more expressive and affective compliments compared to those of men.
