Scholars in many disciplines of the humanities and social sciences have used the notion of ‘frame’ to analyze language, discourse, interaction, cognition, news, interaction, and social movements, thus showing the multidisciplinary conceptual relevance of the notion. Inevitably this also means that the notion has been used in many different ways and to describe many different phenomena. For a journal like Discourse Studies, the relevance of frame analysis is obviously related to its possible applications in the description of specific structures of text or talk. Such as been the case in cognitive linguistics in the study of the conceptual frames defining word meanings, undoubtedly related to the structures of knowledge, notably initiated by the work of Charles Fillmore in the 1970s. Similarly, the semantic structures of sentences may be organized by an underlying schema of actor roles (Agent, Patient, etc.) that also could be called a frame, also studied by Fillmore. These semantic frames are related to the structure of mental models of situations and events that have become very popular in the psychology of discourse processing since the 1980s, for example, to explain fundamental notions such as coherence and phenomena such as memory of discourse, for example, in the work of Philip Johnson-Laird, Walter Kintsch, and myself. Beyond the scope of the grammar of words and sentences, long time the limited field of linguistics, also larger schematic structures of discourse may be, and have been, analyzed in terms of frames, such as the canonical structures of everyday storytelling, already proposed by Labov and Waletzky in a seminal paper of 1967. Indeed, such is more generally the case for many other schematic structures of text and talk (sometimes also called ‘superstructures’), such as the conventional organization of scholarly articles (Title, Abstract, Introduction, etc) or interaction rituals, starting with Greetings and closing with Leave-taking in informal everyday conversation. Also in the 1970s, it was Erving Goffman’s influential book Frame Analysis that explicitly introduced the notion of ‘frame’ relating discourse, interaction, and cognition, and hence connecting sociology and anthropology with linguistics, discourse, and conversation analysis. It was in the 1980s and 1990s, within this multidisciplinary conceptual context, and especially inspired by Goffman’s book, that sociologists Robert Benford and David Snow in the new ‘cultural’ paradigm of research on social movements introduced the notions of ‘frames’ and ‘framing’ in the study of many aspects of social movements, such as ‘diagnostic’ frames as initial definitions of a social problem.

Using data from user comments to the official social networking account of the Hubei Red Cross Foundation on a participatory web platform, this study attends to the offensive and hateful comments produced by ordinary Internet users to blame the elite authorities for their malfeasance in managing the donation during the COVID-19 in China. Drawing on Discursive Psychology, we focus on the rhetorical strategies that users employ to legitimise their actions as well-founded evidential blame against a norm-breaking act rather than radical extremist speech. The associated hatred among discussants are moral, social judgements. That said, hate speech also helps construct the moral standards of a normalised society.

Separated parents in Sweden need to sort out child maintenance themselves unless there are ‘special reasons’, such as experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV), in which case the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (SSIA) may function as an intermediary. In such cases, the parent must disclose their experiences for institutional assessment. This study uses conversation analysis (CA) to examine 132 phone calls between parents and SSIA officers, examining how parental conflict and possible violence is brought up and responded to. The analysis shows how parents describe cooperative problems in non-specific terms, incrementally adding information that makes possible violence inferentially available, rendering it difficult for case officers to distinguish IPV from post-separation conflicts. Case officers typically respond minimally and do not encourage further tellings, which means that IPV may go unnoticed. The study highlights the need for training in how to recognize possible IPV and how to facilitate such disclosures.

By drawing on service encounter data in Japanese, this paper analyzes a previously undocumented request action initiated by a service provider to a client as a necessary step to provide the service. The service provider and their client, both exercising respective deontic rights, collaboratively construct a request turn in particular ways. In this case, due to the Japanese SOV word order, the service provider takes advantage of segmenting their request turn to allow the recipient clients to begin compliance, who thereby acquiesce to the service provider’s deontic authority at the earliest point. By bringing the request turn to completion after the client’s compliance while reflexively showing their deontic and beneficiary stances in the turn final component, the service provider displays commitment to balancing out their relative deontic status to the client.

If we follow the line of thought in the book to do further translation studies on documents involving more under-represented languages on IATE, it is believed to shed light on more promising issues facing fields like translation and discourse studies.

into many topics neglected by previous researchers. For example, Chapter 9 sheds light on the ‘roles’ relevant to family decision-making, and Chapter 10 conducts research on how affectivity is expressed through the implementation of the secondary actions. Both of them are topics less discussed in CA. However, since all the chapters in this book are based on qualitative research, its contribution could be even stronger if it includes a quantitative study. Despite this minor flaw, this book, in general, provides invaluable sources for this burgeoning area and offers refreshing views on CA and pragmatics. It could be regarded as a must-read for conversation and pragmatics analysts who are interested in action formation and ascription.
