This paper investigates ways in which proposal sequences are coordinated via multimodal and screen-based actions in video-mediated collaborative drawing. More specifically, we focus on moments when participants who deploy a drawing tool engage in joint decision-making related to a logo drawing task. We draw on 15 h of screen-recorded data from university students’ video-mediated sessions and use the method of multimodal conversation analysis (CA). Our analysis shows that proposal sequences are initiated and advanced via verbal, embodied and screen-based actions and their unfolding depends on various aspects, including the timing and way of mobilizing the drawing tool and the roles of the participants (i.e., drawer vs. other participants). The study highlights drawing as a resource and affordance in joint decision-making.
本文研究了在视频媒介协同绘图中,通过多模态和基于屏幕的动作来协调提案序列的方式。更具体地说,我们关注的是使用绘图工具的参与者参与与徽标绘制任务相关的联合决策的时刻。我们从大学生的视频会话中提取了15小时的屏幕记录数据,并使用了多模态会话分析(CA)方法。我们的分析表明,提议序列是通过口头、具体化和基于屏幕的动作发起和推进的,它们的展开取决于各个方面,包括调动绘图工具的时间和方式,以及参与者的角色(即抽屉者与其他参与者)。该研究强调了绘图在共同决策中的资源和作用。

We examine the activity of securing the attention of a prospective interlocutor by means of a summons-answer sequence when the summoned party is walking away from the summoner. We focus on two forms of first-name summonses. Calling-out summonses are produced when the coparticipants are at a significant distance from each other and the summoner remains stationary. Halting summonses are produced when the summoner is moving towards the summoned party and is about to reach them. The data are video recordings of hospital staff corridor interactions oriented towards recruiting a coworker for a practical task.
我们研究了当被召唤方离开召唤者时,通过召唤-回答序列来确保潜在对话者注意的活动。我们关注两种形式的直呼其名的传票。当参与者彼此之间距离相当远,而召唤者保持静止时,就会发出召唤召唤。停止召唤是在召唤者向被召唤者移动并接近他们时产生的。这些数据是医院员工走廊互动的视频记录,旨在为一项实际任务招募同事。

This paper investigates evaluative labels used in public discourse to frame events and main actors during the Belarusian political crisis in 2021. The data includes opinion articles from US-American, German, Lithuanian, and Russian (pro-Kremlin) media. Each sub-corpus consists of roughly 30,000 words. The time period of the data is from May 23, 2021 to February 23, 2022. The research aims to identify the main targets of evaluative labels and to determine values and value systems encoded in evaluation. Discourse analysis has been employed to examine labels referring to a selected number of referents. Our findings reveal that the main dividing line runs between the USA, Germany, Lithuania, and Russia. The targets in the US-American, German, and Lithuanian public discourses include Lukashenko, his form of governance and his government's actions. In contrast, labels in the Russian public discourse primarily address the Belarusian opposition, including Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. In the data, the prevalent type of evaluation is explicitly negative. The results contribute to the existing research on how language can shape different understanding of reality.
本文研究了2021年白俄罗斯政治危机期间公共话语中用于框架事件和主要参与者的评估标签。这些数据包括来自美国、德国、立陶宛和俄罗斯(亲克里姆林宫)媒体的评论文章。每个子语料库由大约30,000个单词组成。数据时间段为2021年5月23日至2022年2月23日。本研究旨在确定评价标签的主要目标,并确定在评价中编码的价值和价值系统。语篇分析已被用来检查指涉特定数量的指称物的标签。我们的研究结果表明,主要的分界线在美国、德国、立陶宛和俄罗斯之间。美国、德国和立陶宛公共话语的目标包括卢卡申科、他的治理形式和政府的行动。相比之下,俄罗斯公共话语中的标签主要针对白俄罗斯反对派,包括Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya。在数据中,普遍的评价类型是明确否定的。这一结果有助于现有的关于语言如何塑造对现实的不同理解的研究。

Easy Language is a simplified language variety designed to make information more comprehensible for diverse target groups, including individuals with intellectual disabilities, second-language learners, and those with neurocognitive disorders. Although certain guidelines and standards of Easy Language give some recommendations regarding prosodic aspects, these have not yet been tested with the target user groups considered in this study. This study investigates the impact of speech rate on comprehension of Easy Language audios in Catalan, as well as the acceptability of different speech rates and users' preferences. Three participant groups were involved: individuals with intellectual disabilities, neurotypical second-language learners, and a neurotypical control group. Four distinct speech rates were assessed (130 wpm, 150 wpm, 170 wpm, and 190 wpm). The results indicated that speech rate had no significant effect on comprehension across any group. However, it is important to highlight that all three groups agreed that 150 wpm was the most acceptable speed, and it was also among the most preferred speeds.
简易语言是一种简化的语言变体,旨在使信息更容易被不同的目标群体理解,包括智障人士、第二语言学习者和神经认知障碍患者。虽然《易语言》的某些指南和标准给出了一些关于韵律方面的建议,但这些建议尚未在本研究中考虑的目标用户群体中进行测试。本研究考察了语速对简易语言加泰罗尼亚语音频理解的影响,以及不同语速的可接受程度和用户偏好。研究涉及三组参与者:智障人士、神经典型的第二语言学习者和神经典型的对照组。评估了四种不同的语音速率(130 wpm, 150 wpm, 170 wpm和190 wpm)。结果表明,语速对两组学生的理解能力均无显著影响。然而,需要强调的是,所有三个小组都认为150英里/分钟是最可接受的速度,也是最受欢迎的速度之一。

Human-animal vocal communication, a (now) legitimate topic for linguistics and the analysis of social interaction 人类与动物的声音交流,是语言学和社会互动分析的一个(现在)合法的话题

The study of animal vocalizations has long been the exclusive domain of animal behavior research, which studies animal vocal productions for various reasons, but mostly as an inquiry into the origins of human verbal language. Recently, insights from linguistics have followed the trend set by what is sometimes referred to as an “animal turn” in the social sciences and humanities. This has resulted in treating the interaction between humans and non-human animals as a research topic in its own right. The part of linguistics interested in the multimodal analysis of social interaction was particularly well-equipped to deal with those non-verbal, though meaningful and (sometimes) cooperative, interactions. This permitted (i) a reconsideration of classic linguistic phenomena (e.g., participation, sequentiality, intentionality) and (ii) detailed analyses of the interactional production of meaning in interspecies interaction, while eschewing speculations about the origin of language. This contribution outlines these new developments, and shows how the articles of this Special Issue on “sound patterns in interspecies interaction” specifically contribute to them.
长期以来,动物发声研究一直是动物行为研究的专属领域,动物发声研究出于各种原因,但主要是为了探究人类口头语言的起源。最近,语言学的见解追随了社会科学和人文科学中有时被称为“动物转向”的趋势。这导致将人类与非人类动物之间的相互作用本身作为一个研究课题。对社会互动的多模态分析感兴趣的语言学部分特别擅长处理那些非语言的,尽管有意义和(有时)合作的互动。这允许(i)重新考虑经典语言现象(例如,参与,顺序性,意向性)和(ii)详细分析物种间相互作用中相互作用的意义产生,同时避免对语言起源的猜测。这篇文章概述了这些新的发展,并展示了本期特刊关于“物种间相互作用的声音模式”的文章是如何具体地对此做出贡献的。

Enlanguaged affordances in social practices: A critical rethinking of Gibson's approach to language 社会实践中的语言支持:对吉布森语言研究方法的批判性反思

Jones and Read argue that Gibson's concept of affordances can significantly contribute to radical, non-representationalist approaches in linguistics. In line with their perspective, this paper asserts that a crucial initial step must be taken: a critical examination of Gibson's account of the relationship between affordances and language. Specifically, I argue that we should question the assumption that affordance-relative awareness necessarily precedes linguistic behavior, a hypothesis I term Gibson's ‘awareness first, words second’ hypothesis. The paper develops a positive argument around the concept of ‘enlanguaged affordance’, demonstrating how insights from practice theory, radical cognitive science, and distributed approaches to language can converge around this central idea. The paper aims to illuminate how linguistic skills and competencies contribute to shaping social practices.
Jones和Read认为,Gibson的启示概念对语言学中激进的、非表征主义的研究方法有重大贡献。根据他们的观点,本文断言必须采取关键的第一步:对吉布森关于可见性和语言之间关系的描述进行批判性审查。具体来说,我认为我们应该质疑“能力相对意识必然先于语言行为”这一假设,我称之为吉布森的“意识第一,语言第二”假设。本文围绕“语言提供性”的概念展开了积极的论证,展示了来自实践理论、激进认知科学和分布式语言方法的见解如何围绕这一中心思想汇聚在一起。本文旨在阐明语言技能和能力如何有助于塑造社会实践。

In encounters between humans and animals, both parties make use of sound, some of which are vocal. Since the anatomy of vocal tracts is different in different species, the production of sounds varies, while humans find ways to partially match the acoustics of animal sounds. Analytic challenges lie in the representation of the various sounds, as we need to move beyond the IPA, and in establishing when and how animals become participants in interspecies interaction.
在人类和动物的相遇中,双方都利用声音,其中一些是有声的。由于不同物种的声道解剖结构不同,因此声音的产生也不同,而人类则找到了部分匹配动物声音的方法。分析的挑战在于各种声音的表现,因为我们需要超越国际音标,并确定动物何时以及如何成为物种间互动的参与者。

Top-down and bottom-up semiotic landscapes in Eastern Suburb Memory: A scalar-chronotopic approach 东郊记忆中的自上而下和自下而上的符号学景观:一个标量-时间顺序方法

There is a trend for old industrial areas to be redeveloped into commercialised areas to promote consumption and city branding. In such redevelopment, differentiated semiotic landscapes (SLs) are utilized to project identities and to promote consumption. This article examines the top-down and bottom-up SLs in the Eastern Suburb Memory (ESM) in Chengdu, China that was converted from an industrial heritage site. Drawing on Bakhtin's notion of ‘chronotope’, we focus on the differences between the chronotopes invoked by the government and those by entrepreneurs for the purposes of national identification and commercialisation through translingual and multimodal practices. We find that the top-down choreographies tend to invoke the chronotope of the Chinese industrialisation period in the past to evoke national solidarity and pride for publicity and tourism. In contrast, the grassroots' SLs utilise more ancient and broader chronotopes (e.g. the Republic of China and contemporary Europe) across multiple scale-levels to evoke nostalgia and exoticism. Furthermore, this article explores the emerging tendency of the two types of SLs to transcend binary oppositions and achieve mutual absorption through the lens of assemblage.
为了促进消费和城市品牌化,将老工业区改造成商业区已成为一种趋势。在这种再开发中,差异化的符号景观(SLs)被用于项目身份和促进消费。本文考察了由工业遗址改造而成的成都东郊记忆(ESM)中自上而下和自下而上的SLs。借鉴巴赫金的“时位”概念,我们将重点关注政府和企业家为了国家认同和通过跨语言和多模式实践实现商业化而调用的时位之间的差异。我们发现,自上而下的编排倾向于援引过去中国工业化时期的计时表,以唤起民族团结和对宣传和旅游的自豪感。相比之下,草根级的语言空间在多个尺度上使用更古老、更广泛的时标(例如中华民国和当代欧洲)来唤起怀旧和异国情调。此外,本文还从组合的角度探讨了两种特殊语言超越二元对立、实现相互吸收的新趋势。

The art and politics of micronational language planning 微民族语言规划的艺术与政治
IF 1.3 2区 文学 Q2 COMMUNICATION Pub Date : 2025-07-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.langcom.2025.06.003

This article discusses the language politics of micronations. It argues that micronational language planning offers a three-pronged satirical rejoinder to mainstream language politics. First, micronational language politics pushes back at attempts to frame nation-states and national languages as irrelevant in a globalized world. Second, it rebuffs neo-romantic sociolinguistic critiques of globalization. Third, it troubles technocratic approaches to language policy and planning (LPP). This argument is grounded in a close analysis of two micronational art projects: Elgaland-Vargaland and Ladonia. These micronations simultaneously appropriate and debase traditional LPP, creating both a defamiliarization of well-worn language ideologies and a destabilization of technocratic linguistic expertise. This is a promising starting point for reimagining research into the politics of language.
本文讨论了微国家的语言政治。它认为,微民族语言规划提供了对主流语言政治的三方面讽刺反驳。首先,微民族语言政治抵制了将民族国家和民族语言框定为与全球化世界无关的企图。其次,它驳斥了新浪漫主义社会语言学对全球化的批评。第三,它给语言政策和规划(LPP)的技术官僚方法带来麻烦。这一论点是基于对两个微型国家艺术项目的仔细分析:埃尔加兰-瓦尔加兰和拉多尼亚。这些微型国家同时利用和贬低了传统的LPP,造成了对陈旧的语言意识形态的陌生化和技术官僚语言专业知识的不稳定。这是重新构想语言政治研究的一个有希望的起点。

Second, it rebuffs neo-romantic sociolinguistic critiques of globalization. Third, it troubles technocratic approaches to language policy and planning (LPP). This argument is grounded in a close analysis of two micronational art projects: Elgaland-Vargaland and Ladonia.

Inspired by ‘affective regime’, linguistic landscape (LL) research has increasingly foregrounded affect as a central concern. By developing the interactional approach of ‘affective stancetaking’, the paper extends current scholarship by explaining how affect circulates historically and how it affords specific positioning to sign viewers. Drawing on a longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork in China's treaty port area, I examine how an affect (ranging from nostalgia, xiaozi, to party loyalty) becomes interdiscursively produced by semiotic stancetaking processes across LL signs. Furthermore, the place-making project unfolds systematic ‘orders of affect’, embedded with multiple co-existent authorities (i.e., polycentricity) that govern local identity, cosmopolitan-class elitism, and party-state citizenship. This analysis highlights how LL communications discursive-ideologically subjectify citizen-consumers into political and economic structures.
受“情感机制”的启发,语言景观(LL)研究越来越重视情感作为一个中心问题。通过发展“情感立场”的互动方法,本文通过解释影响如何在历史上传播以及它如何为手语观众提供特定定位来扩展当前的学术研究。在中国通商口岸地区的纵向民族志田野调查中,我研究了一种影响(从怀旧、小资到党的忠诚)是如何通过跨LL符号的符号化过程在话语间产生的。此外,场地制作项目展现了系统的“情感秩序”,嵌入了多个共存的权威(即多中心),这些权威管理着地方身份、世界主义阶级精英主义和党国公民身份。这一分析强调了LL如何在话语意识形态上将公民消费者主体化到政治和经济结构中。
