(Text, Translation, Computational Processing 2)
Casting light on the interplay between language and domain-specific
knowledge, this new book brings together ideas and approaches from
cognitive linguistics and psychology which aim at explaining how
language works, and how people combine their knowledge from a variety of
sources as they make sense of and draw inferences from text. The
different domains treated come from law, medicine, economics, and the
study of risk. In the book, these are approached mainly in the context
of communication between experts and laymen, and of differences in and
the effects of people's prior knowledge. The over-arching theme of the
book is mental models; the twelve papers contained in it concentrate on
the relation between cognitive aspects of language and text, and the
nature and structure of our knowledge. The areas of language, text, and
knowledge are in need of better cross-disciplinary integration, and the
present book is ground-breaking in the sense that the editors and
contributors succeed in bringing them together with-in the context of
communication involving experts.

(Studies on Language Acquisition 15)
Face-threatening speech acts such as refusals present particular
problems for all human beings. These problems are exacerbated when
individuals are not familiar with the culture in which these speech acts
must be performed and do not have the communicative or linguistic
facility to fully express their meanings. This book takes an in-depth
look at the speech act of refusals as performed in English by native
speakers of Japanese. The data-base comes from video-taped exchanges
between native speakers of English and native speakers of Japanese
during which the Japanese non-native speaker attempts a refusal. The
analysis of these sequences approaches the issues from multiple research
perspectives, most notably, second language acquisition and pragmatic
speech acts. This book looks at interactional aspects of refusal
sequences including the non-native speaker's evolving moves, responsive
behaviors, and use of non-verbal resources. The focus is on how
non-native speakers deal with the pragmalinguistic and interactional
problems inherent in performing a face-threatening act and the kind of
feedback that they receive in the course of the interaction.
This book is of interest for those involved in general linguistics,
pragmatics, discourse analysis, and applied linguistics.
