Proxy social-speech acts: A particular case of plural agency
Publication date: March 2020Source: Language & Communication, Volume 71Author(s): Francesca De VecchiAbstractI focus on proxy acts' plural agency and argue that it is a particular case of plural agency, irreducible to that of collective agency. I start from Reinach's phenomenological account of proxy acts, according to which they are an eidetic modification of social-speech acts. I point out that as social-speech acts, proxy acts are also spontaneous acts and at least second-degree position-takings; but I argue that, unlike social-speech acts, their agency is modified. Such modification involves different agents at differe...

Deliberative speech acts: An interactional approach
Publication date: March 2020Source: Language & Communication, Volume 71Author(s): Cristina CorredorAbstractThe aim of this paper is to offer an account of deliberative dialogues within the framework of an Austinian speech act theory. My analysis focuses on a characteristic aspect of deliberative dialogues, namely, turn-taking organization, with the aim of throwing some light on their interactional dynamics as a basis for collective action. The exploration tries to approach the issue by suggesting how and to what extent deliberation, as a dialogical argumentative practice, can be accounted for with the tools of speech act t...

The agency of habitus: Bourdieu and language at the conjunction of Marxism, phenomenology and structuralism
Publication date: March 2020Source: Language & Communication, Volume 71Author(s): John E. JosephAbstractThe prolific and varied body of work produced by Pierre Bourdieu is coming once again to be appreciated by linguists and other scholars after two decades of an “ebb tide” that typically follows the attainment of a world reputation in the social and behavioural sciences. In Bourdieu's case the ebb has been increased by resentments and misunderstandings that can be traced to the historical and political context in which he conducted his research and analysis: a context dominated by a doctrinaire Marxism which Bourdieu,...

Metalinguistic density as an indicator of sharedness: Economic and financial terms in online interaction
Publication date: March 2020Source: Language & Communication, Volume 71Author(s): Cedric DeschrijverAbstractMetalanguage, language about language, is one of language's most creative and intriguing properties. Yet it has rarely been crystallised as an analytical focus, nor has its occurrence been systematically described or scrutinised. This paper employs a focus on (explicit) metalanguage as a means to detect the extent to which a term and its denotational norms/indexical links are shared across a subset of language users. It argues that the relative amount of metalanguage focusing on a term, the term's ‘metalinguistic d...

Ideological indeterminacy: Worker Esperantism in 1920s Sweden
This article investigates visions of Esperanto upheld in the Swedish labour movement during the 1920s. It offers an account of the linguistic–political practice of the Swedish Worker Esperanto Association (SLEA). The analytical focus is placed on SLEA's conceptualisation of Esperanto as an effective means for achieving social, political and communicative amelioration. The ideological open-endedness afforded by this idea is a particular point of interest. In SLEA's practice, Esperanto was regarded both as a means of overcoming and safeguarding linguistic heterogeneity. The ameliorative potential ascribed to Esperanto coul...
