The present study contributes to work on sports discourse by undertaking an interactional analysis of talk in hockey post-game interviews. Drawing upon studies of interview contexts including broadcast news interviews and sports post-game interviews, I examine hockey journalists' questions and players' responses, where issues of ‘blame’ and ‘praise’ quickly reveal themselves to be of primary consequence to these participants. I draw attention to concrete aspects of turn design that the interlocutors make use of in constructing their questions and answers; through these question-answer sequences, which are quantified as part of the analysis, the participants collaboratively construct and reinforce the hockey community of practice and foster an essential positive relationship between the individual and his team, which I gloss as “teamness”.

本研究通过对冰球赛后访谈中的谈话进行互动分析，为体育话语的研究做出了贡献。通过对包括广播新闻采访和体育赛后采访在内的采访背景的研究，我研究了冰球记者的问题和球员的回答，其中“指责”和“赞扬”的问题很快就会显示出对这些参与者的主要影响。我提请注意对话者在构建他们的问题和答案时所使用的回合设计的具体方面；通过这些被量化为分析的一部分的问答序列，参与者合作构建和加强冰球社区的实践，并培养个人和团队之间必不可少的积极关系，我称之为“团队精神”。

This article explores the influence of language on the political participation of people who have migrated. It examines the ways in which language-related features shape the recognition and trust-building processes for migrant individuals during their engagement with the public in local-level political elections in Ireland. Adopting a relational approach to the concepts of political recognition and trust, the article examines data from interviews with councillors and candidates of migrant background who either speak English as an additional language or speak a variety other than Irish English. The study reveals a nuanced perspective of the impact of language on political participation, with varying viewpoints among participants. These differences can be partly attributed to the different forms of capital associated with candidates.

本文探讨了语言对移民政治参与的影响。它考察了在爱尔兰地方政治选举中，与语言相关的特征如何塑造移民个人在与公众接触期间的认可和信任建立过程。本文对政治认可和信任的概念采用了一种关系方法，研究了来自移民背景的议员和候选人的访谈数据，这些人要么说英语作为额外的语言，要么说爱尔兰英语以外的各种语言。该研究揭示了语言对政治参与影响的微妙视角，参与者的观点各不相同。这些差异可以部分归因于与候选人相关的不同形式的资本。

This article examines the metapragmatics of ‘Mock Foreigner’ speech and its associated characterological figure in a Japanese popular media context. Mock Foreigner speech is a language ideological construct commonly used in Japanese media in the portrayal of non-native Japanese speakers of Western origin. Building on previous research of mock language varieties as ethnolinguistic boundary markers, I analyze both the representation of this figure in popular media genres, and in particular, metalinguistic discourses about the use of Mock Foreigner speech. The data in this study draws on popular media wiki entries in order to explore how media consumers understand the style and its margins. In particular, I focus on how the non-Japanese people have been represented in media over time from both a characterological and linguistic perspective, and how those representations persist today in the form of linguistic stereotypes and ideologies of foreignness. This study also demonstrates the existence of a perception gap between the imagined foreigner character (e.g. white Americans who use grammatically marked Japanese) and actual non-Japanese individuals. Mock Foreigner serves as an explicit marker of the imagined foreigner character, thus reifying the position of white foreignness as both default and linguistically saliant.

本文考察了在日本大众媒体语境下“嘲笑外国人”言语及其相关特征的元语用。模仿外国人的言语是日本媒体常用的一种语言意识形态建构，用来描述非母语为西方的日本人。在先前关于模拟语言变体作为民族语言边界标记的研究基础上，我分析了这一形象在流行媒体类型中的表现，特别是关于模拟外国人语言使用的元语言话语。本研究的数据来源于流行媒体维基条目，以探索媒体消费者如何理解风格及其边际。我特别关注的是，随着时间的推移，非日本人是如何从特征和语言的角度在媒体中被呈现出来的，以及这些呈现是如何以语言刻板印象和外来意识形态的形式持续存在的。该研究还表明，在想象中的外国人角色（例如使用语法标记日语的美国白人）和实际的非日本人之间存在感知差距。《嘲笑外国人》作为想象中的外国人角色的明确标记，从而将白人的异域性作为默认的和语言上突出的地位具体化。

This study aims to trace the evolution of thanking interaction from premodern to modern China, drawing on data collected from dramatic texts in the 16th-18th centuries and the mid-20th century. The results show that in both periods Chinese thanking features a similar interactional structure. However, notable diachronic changes are revealed in three respects. First, our data disclose a significant process of routinization and simplification of rituals in the forms of thanking. Second, there is a remarkable shift in thanking strategies and thanking response strategies. Third, we have identified an attenuation in the functions of thanking. The diachronic changes might be motivated by China's modernization in which the New Culture Movement plays a vital role.

本研究旨在利用16 -18世纪和20世纪中期的戏剧文本收集的数据，追踪从前现代到现代中国感谢互动的演变。结果表明，在这两个时期，汉语致谢具有相似的互动结构。然而，显着的历时变化显示在三个方面。首先，我们的数据揭示了感谢形式的例行化和简化仪式的重要过程。其次，感谢策略和感谢回应策略发生了显著变化。第三，我们已经确定了感谢功能的衰减。这种历时性的变化可能是由中国的现代化所推动的，而新文化运动在其中起着至关重要的作用。

This article examines stancetaking in newswriting situations. It adopts a linguistic ethnographic approach that looks behind-the-scenes of news production. Through two case studies, it first shows how journalists use stancetaking in interviews as a resource for producing newsworthy material, corresponding with news values of negativity and emotion. It then unfolds the processes that lead journalists to erase their own contribution from the final product, presenting instances of their stancetaking as if they only originated from the source. By doing so, journalists incorporate their own views into the news products while ostensibly adhering to the journalistic standard of neutrality and objectivity.

这篇文章探讨了新闻写作中的立场。它采用了一种语言人种学的方法，观察新闻生产的幕后。通过两个案例研究，它首先展示了记者如何利用采访中的立场作为一种资源来生产有新闻价值的材料，与消极和情感的新闻价值相对应。然后，它展开了导致记者从最终产品中抹去自己贡献的过程，展示了他们的立场，就好像他们只来自来源一样。通过这样做，记者将自己的观点融入新闻产品，同时表面上坚持中立和客观的新闻标准。

This study investigates how humans affiliate with animals’ experiences and emotional states when faced with an animal vocalization in everyday interaction. Multimodal interaction analysis is used to study vocal, bodily and verbal actions and reactions of humans, horses, dogs and cats. The analysis shows humans treat animal vocalizations as meaningful actions, often as signs of affect, that mobilize affiliation and subsequent actions in the next turn. Human responses to animal vocalizations include tokens of surprise or sympathy, verbalizations of emotions, and suggested solutions to problems. The study is part of the inclusive linguistic paradigm, aiming at showing how understanding across species boundaries is achieved and how humans affiliate with animal emotions.

本研究探讨了在日常互动中，当面对动物发声时，人类是如何与动物的经历和情绪状态联系在一起的。多模态交互分析用于研究人类、马、狗和猫的声音、身体和语言行为和反应。分析表明，人类将动物发声视为有意义的行为，通常是情感的标志，可以调动从属关系，并在接下来的回合中采取后续行动。人类对动物发声的反应包括惊讶或同情的表示，情感的语言表达，以及对问题的建议解决方案。这项研究是包容性语言范式的一部分，旨在展示跨物种边界的理解是如何实现的，以及人类是如何与动物情感联系在一起的。

Appraisal theory and the analysis of point of view in news and views journalism – unpacking journalistic “persuasiveness” 评价理论与新闻观点分析——解读新闻的“说服力”

This paper offers a demonstration of Appraisal Theory as an analytical framework for dealing with point of view in journalistic discourse. It takes journalistic “persuasiveness” as its central theme and thereby offers novel insights into a key, much scrutinised property of news journalism – its potential for influencing public understandings and expectations of the way the world is and ought to be. In operating with this notion of “persuasiveness”, the paper outlines lines of inquiry for dealing with news journalism texts which are often treated as distinct, both with respect to their stylistic properties and their communicative effects. Specifically, the concern is with the communicative functionality of both news “reporting” and journalistic “commentary”, or with what are here termed “news journalism” and “views journalism”. Appraisal Theory offers an account of the resources for conveying evaluative meanings and the framework is demonstrated through a comparison of a news report and a commentary piece concerned with the same subject matter – a decision by an education scholarship provider to include in its application form optional questions about candidates' sexuality. Specifically the paper demonstrates how similarities and differences in the two pieces’ “persuasiveness” can be discovered through an analysis which attends to four points of interest: (1) tendencies in the different types of attitudinal assessment by which the reader is positioned to adopt negative or positive views, (2) whether attitudinal assessments are conveyed explicitly or implicitly, (3) whether the attitudes being conveyed are authorial or are attributed to external sources and (4) the nature of the entities or phenomena which the reader is being positioned to view positively or negatively.

本文论证了评价理论作为处理新闻语篇观点的分析框架。它以新闻的“说服力”为中心主题，从而对新闻报道的一个关键、备受审视的属性——影响公众对世界现状和应该是什么样子的理解和期望的潜力——提供了新颖的见解。在运用“说服力”这一概念的过程中，本文概述了处理新闻新闻文本的探究路线，这些文本通常在风格属性和交际效果方面都被视为不同的。具体来说，关注的是新闻“报道”和新闻“评论”的沟通功能，或者是这里所说的“新闻新闻学”和“观点新闻学”。评估理论提供了传达评估意义的资源的说明，并通过对同一主题的新闻报道和评论文章的比较来证明该框架-教育奖学金提供者决定在其申请表中包含有关候选人性取向的可选问题。具体来说，本文展示了如何通过分析两个部分的“说服力”的异同可以发现，其中涉及四个兴趣点：(1)在不同类型的态度评估中，读者被定位为采取消极或积极观点的倾向；(2)态度评估是明示的还是隐含的；(3)所传达的态度是作者的还是归因于外部来源的；(4)读者被定位为积极或消极看待的实体或现象的性质。

This paper discusses how the immersive qualities of Social Virtual Reality (SVR) technology – the sense of presence in a simulated space, and a sense of embodiment through motion tracking and avatars – have an impact on verbal communication among its users. It argues that, rather than clearly distinguishing between technology-mediated versus analog types of spaces, bodies, and communicative acts, focusing on hybrid and blended forms of (for example) deictic referents promises deeper insights. This paper discusses results from research on a corpus of audiovisual data acquired in experiments with SVR. Beyond the concrete use case of SVR, adapting existing linguistic conceptualization to user experiences with novel technologies contributes to discourses on the interrelatedness of technological affordances and human action.

本文讨论了社交虚拟现实（SVR）技术的沉浸性——在模拟空间中的存在感，以及通过运动跟踪和化身产生的体现感——如何影响用户之间的语言交流。它认为，与其明确区分技术媒介与模拟类型的空间、身体和交流行为，不如专注于混合和混合形式（例如）指示指涉物，从而带来更深入的见解。本文讨论了用SVR对实验中获得的视听数据语料库的研究结果。除了SVR的具体用例之外，将现有的语言概念与新技术的用户体验相适应，有助于讨论技术支持和人类行为之间的相互关系。

The study investigates horse-directed vocalizations in English and German. A corpus of human-horse activities contains clicks, trills, and variants of /ho:/. Horse-directed vocalizations show much phonetic and prosodic variation, which makes them adjustable to local interactional contexts. The largest group are clicks (lateral, dental, bilabial), which are used to ask horses to move faster. Trills (bilabial, alveolar) optionally end in alveolar stops. Their duration, intonation, and overall pitch vary considerably. German and English speakers use trills for opposite interactional purposes (slowing down vs. speeding up). /ho:/-type vocalizations vary with regard to first consonants, vowels, final consonants, duration, and intonation. /ho:/-variants are used to calm and/or slow horses down. Unlike non-lexical vocalizations in human talk, horse-directed vocalizations have specific, conventionalized meanings.

这项研究调查了英语和德语中马的发音。人马活动的语料库包含咔哒声、颤音和/ho:/的变体。马的定向发声表现出许多语音和韵律的变化，这使得它们可以根据当地的互动环境进行调整。最大的一组是咔哒声（侧面、牙齿、双颊），用来要求马走得更快。颤音（双唇音、肺泡音）可以选择以肺泡音结尾。它们的持续时间、语调和整体音高差别很大。说德语和英语的人使用颤音是为了相反的互动目的（放慢速度和加快速度）。/ho:/类型的发音在首辅音、元音、尾辅音、持续时间和语调方面有所不同。/ho:/-变体用于使马平静下来和/或慢下来。与人类语言中的非词汇发声不同，马的定向发声具有特定的、约定俗成的意义。

The role of laughter in evaluating language use has received little attention in language attitude research and laughter studies. In this paper, which draws on focus group discussions involving 132 Nigerian university students, we analyse how students use laughter to perform social actions in evaluating language use in Nigeria. The analysis shows that participants use laughter to deride the outgroup, reinforce ingroup coherence, mark their own or others' linguistic inferiority, and mitigate self-face-threatening linguistic behaviour. We argue that a comprehensive theory of laughter should include the functions of laughter: especially how people use it to ‘do things’ in discourse. The implications of the findings vis-à-vis language attitude research are discussed.

在语言态度研究和笑声研究中，笑在评价语言使用中的作用很少受到重视。在这篇论文中，我们利用了涉及132名尼日利亚大学生的焦点小组讨论，分析了学生在评估尼日利亚语言使用时如何使用笑声来执行社会行动。分析表明，参与者用笑来嘲笑外群体，加强内群体的一致性，标记自己或他人的语言自卑，并减轻自我威胁的语言行为。我们认为，一个全面的笑理论应该包括笑的功能：特别是人们如何在话语中使用它来“做事”。研究结果对-à-vis语言态度研究的意义进行了讨论。
