The Role of the Speaker’s Emotional State in Im/politeness AssessmentsJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 34 Số 3 - Trang 316-342 - 2015
Nikos Vergis, Marina Terkourafi
Brown and Levinson proposed that three sociological variables—Distance, Power, and Ranking of the imposition—affect politeness assessments. Later scholarship, however, argued that these variables can be operationalized in several ways and are too abstract to capture the realities of im/polite discourse. We focus on one variable, Distance, whose operationalization has produced mixed results...... hiện toàn bộ
Cruel to be Kind and Kind to be Cruel: Sarcasm, Banter and Social RelationsJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 7 Số 2 - Trang 101-121 - 1988
Ben R. Slugoski, William Turnbull
The present paper is concerned with the knowledge or cognitive representations which individuals must possess in order to understand utterances occurring in conversations. We examined Brown and Levinson's (1978) model which reconciles the Cooperative Principle of Grice (1975) with the face-wants of conversational interactants by relativising the operation of abstract principles of convers...... hiện toàn bộ
An Inferential/Strategic Explanation for the Social Organisation of TeasesJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 11 Số 3 - Trang 153-177 - 1992
Jess K. Alberts
Previous work on teasing has examined the surface features of teasing interactions and has suggested that responses to teases are generally serious and are so because of the negative characterisations which are inherent in teases. The present study uses an inferential/strategic model for examining the social organisation of teases. Based on this analysis, it is argued that tease responses...... hiện toàn bộ
The Psychological Meaning of Words: LIWC and Computerized Text Analysis MethodsJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 29 Số 1 - Trang 24-54 - 2010
Yla Tausczik, James W. Pennebaker
We are in the midst of a technological revolution whereby, for the first time, researchers can link daily word use to a broad array of real-world behaviors. This article reviews several computerized text analysis methods and describes how Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) was created and validated. LIWC is a transparent text analysis program that counts words in psychologically mea...... hiện toàn bộ
Willingness to Communicate in a Second LanguageJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 190-209 - 2003
Richard Clément, Susan Baker, Peter D. MacIntyre
Past research has focused primarily on second language (L2) acquisition as a tool for promoting intercultural communication. The social context model, for example, stresses the importance of contact, L2 confidence, and identity in acquiring a L2. The willingness to communicate (WTC) model, however, emerged from a concern with the functions of L2 use. This study combines these two models t...... hiện toàn bộ
Asymmetries in the Use of Verbal IronyJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 21 Số 2 - Trang 127-143 - 2002
Roger J. Kreuz, Kristen E. Link
Three experiments assessed four variables that may affect verbal irony processing: people’s expectations of events, event outcome, evaluations of outcome, and shared common ground. Reading times and rating tasks were used to quantify the interaction of these factors. The failed expectation hypothesis predicts an interaction of expectation, outcome, and evaluation. In contrast, the expecta...... hiện toàn bộ
Politeness and Honesty Contribute Additively to the Interpretation of Scalar ExpressionsJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 181-190 - 2013
Aidan Feeney, Jean‐François Bonnefon
Scalar terms have been the focus of much recent attention. People can interpret such terms narrowly, for example, interpreting A or B to convey A or B but not both, on the grounds that a speaker would have explicitly used a more informative term (i.e., and) had he or she been in a position to do so; or they can interpret such terms broadly ( A or B or both). Examined here are the effects ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Emotional Broadcaster Theory of Social SharingJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 24 Số 4 - Trang 382-400 - 2005
Kent D. Harber, Dov Cohen
This article introduces the Emotional Broadcaster Theory (EBT) of emotional disclosure. EBT proposes that the intrapsychic need to share experiences with others serves the interpersonal function of transmitting news. According to the model, psychologically arousing stories will travel across social networks. In addition, the extent to which stories travel reflects the degree to which the ...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of Language Intensity Similarity on Perceptions of Credibility Relational Attributions, and PersuasionJournal of Language and Social Psychology - Tập 12 Số 3 - Trang 224-238 - 1993
R. Kelly Aune, Toshiyuki Kikuchi
Communication accommodation theory was used to predict relationships between the degree of similarity of a source's and receiver's use of language intensity and attributions made about the source of a message. A sample of 286 respondents, whose use of language intensity had been assessed, read a persuasive message written with either high or low language intensity. Actual similarity betwe...... hiện toàn bộ
