Abstract: This study examines the intricacies of Japanese interjective tokens eeto, anoo, and sonoo from a conversation analytic perspective, particularly focusing on their role in self-initiated, same-turn self-repair. This study reveals that these tokens can serve as repair prefaces, projecting the quintessence of the impending repair operation. Depending on the specific interactional concerns at any given juncture, distinct variations in self-initiated, same-turn repair operations emerge, and Japanese speakers adeptly indicate how their orientation toward specific interactional aspects of the upcoming repair solution should be heard at that particular conversational juncture by prefacing their self-repair operations with these tokens, each signaling a different nature for the repair. Furthermore, this study argues that the differentiated use of eeto, anoo, and sonoo as repair prefaces correlates with and extends findings from our previous studies, thereby establishing congruence between their varied workings across multiple situations.

Abstract: This paper analyses the practice of self-initiated (same-turn) self-repair in Korean conversation, from a conversation-analytic perspective, with the focus on “post-positionally” conducted morphological repair. Korean is a predicate-final language with an agglutinative system, where a case marker or a sentence-ending suffix post-positionally marking the root (e.g., noun or verb stem) may become a repairable, being replaced by another, rearticulated, or even suppressed or blurred (in the case of turn-finally occurring repair). The analysis suggests that post-positional repair of the root or suffixes (e.g., sentence-ending suffixes or turn-final clausal connectives) embodies the repairer’s orientation towards rendering the action more “normatively appropriate” in a way that is more recipient-designed, face-sensitive, or solidary. Explicating the reflexive relationship between the repairable and the repair solution is shown to be a useful comparative-analytic practice, illuminating the way post-positional morphosyntactic elements in Korean are deployed as paradigmatically related interactional resources managing action, face and relationships

Abstract: Other-correction is a ubiquitous phenomenon in language, and has been extensively studied in conversation analysis and pragmatics. Nevertheless, the conditions of its occurrence still remain unclear. Based on Heritage’s theory of epistemics, the study unveils four distinct epistemic interaction patterns in which other-correction takes place, and endeavours to elucidate their associations with trouble sources, correction strategies, and correction positions. Empirical findings indicate that different epistemic interaction patterns of other-correction exhibit no discernible link with trouble sources, but manifest a statistically significant correlation with correction strategies and correction positions.

Abstract: This study aims to explore the fundamental and necessary unit in discourses that initiate with negative self-assessment. Since past research has mainly focused on the second assessment as a response to the negative self-assessment as the first assessment, it remains unclear how conversations progress beyond the second assessment. Data for the study were collected from a corpus of 20 same-gender Japanese dyad conversations between undergraduate students who had close relationships with each other. The participants talked about “areas that I am not good at or find difficult”. The study found that the participants typically exchanged rationales for the negative self-assessment and reached a consensus on their views regarding the assessment. The study concluded that confirming both sides’ views was prioritised over formally denying the negative self-assessment, and such confirmation was essential for gradually forming a consensus among the speakers.

Abstract: Traditional izakayas (“pubs”) are spaces where people socially consume food and alcohol. Although ubiquitous in Japan, izakayas are slowly disappearing due to changing economic factors. Researchers have begun to document the sociolinguistic activities in these spaces; however, further examination of interactants’ behaviours is needed. Thus, in this study, we sociopragmatically investigated the progressivity of initial service encounters that routinely occur within the drama series Shin’ya Shokud' (“Midnight Diner”) from macro, meso, and micro perspectives. Specifically, we examined how interactants enter the establishment and perform direct requests and how interpersonal talk progresses. Results show that interactants perform service encounters in routine-like ways, using a variety of polite and casual expressions. Overall, the study highlights the formulaic nature of these izakaya performances, which are not typically observable in other contexts. Furthermore, the study supports previous research that shows how transactional and interpersonal talk are imbued in some service encounter contexts.

Abstract: The features of mediated communication, along with those of internet language, enable cyber space to be a home for violent language, the adoption of which generally stems from the sender user’s intense emotions or malicious intentions. In accounting for the diffusion of violent language in online interaction from the perspective of cyberpragmatics and speech act theory, I deduce four major variables of violent language as target, intention, message and effect. Accordingly, the article suggests a pragmatic taxonomy of violent language in online interaction, which consists of six categories ranging from conventional violent language targeted at an individual to unconventional language which is not explicitly targeted. Analysis of the categories testifies that the use of violent language in online interaction is not confined to enemies or adversaries, but extends to people who are close to each other. In such a case, rather than ruin or undermine their relationship, violent language could maintain or even strengthen it. In addition to clarifying how to deal with internet language, the article offers some suggestions for further research.

Abstract: This study investigates the use of the kinship term obasan “aunt” as an address term in Japanese by analysing three types of data: metalinguistic discourse in online discussion; the most typical collocates for the term in a large corpus of Japanese websites; and the results of a survey of native speakers. The study demonstrates that address practices towards aunts appear to be changing. The most typically collocated adjectives and adjectival nouns with obasan as a term of reference in the corpus reveal an overwhelmingly negative conceptualisation of the term in contemporary contexts. The survey results show an increasing trend towards addressing aunts with their names and nicknames instead of obasan. The analysis shows an almost pejorative connotation of the fictive use of obasan, and this appears to interfere with its literal use as an address term towards actual kin, hence the decrease in its usage.
