Subtitle:  Language Sciences Special Issue: The Discourse of Redundancy   


Main Text:  

1. Editorial board and publication information  
Page IFC   

2. Introduction  
Pages 239-242
Elda Weizman, Anita Fetzer    

3. Redundancy, repetition, and intensity in discourse
Pages 243-254
Carla Bazzanella  

Research highlights
? An overview of redundancy across disciplines is provided at the beginning. ?
In discourse, redundancy can have different linguistic forms, and perform
various functions. ? Textual, contextual, interactional, social, and
psychological parameters should be considered. ? Some aspects of redundancy,
related to repetition and intensity are discussed and exemplified. ? Redundancy
as a piece of the complex machinery of language as an interacting system.

4. "I think this is I mean perhaps this is too erm too tough a view of the world
but I often think ?". Redundancy as a contextualization device
Pages 255-267
Anita Fetzer 

5. Redundancy and markers of belief in the discourse of political hearings  
Pages 268-279
Lawrence N. Berlin

Research highlights
? Forms of non-facilitative redundancy (including prolixity and logorrhea) can
be coded hierarchically using the Cooperative Principle and the degree to which
its maxims are flouted. ? In political hearings or interviews, use of
non-facilitative redundancy in responses functions as a pragmatic avoidance
strategy. ? In political discourse, markers of belief often co-occur with
different forms of redundancy and may serve as indicators of politicos' attempts
to be evasive.

6. Edited dialogues: redundancy replaced with relevance?  
Pages 280-294
Sv?tla ?mejrková

Research highlights
? Relevance or redundancy can be assessed against genre expectations. ? In genre
of autobiographic storytelling maxims of CP have to be modified. ? Relevance and
redundancy are assessed differently in oral and written texts.

7. Conveying indirect reservations through discursive redundancy  
Pages 295-304
Elda Weizman    

Research highlights
? Distinguish conventional/non-conventional redundancy. ? Distinguish
redundant/non redundant reservations' and irony patterns. ? Redundancy is
culture dependent. ? Preference for high informativeness in Journalistic Hebrew
as compared to Journalistic French. ? Languages differ in location on quantity
scale.

8. Quantity, truthfulness and ironic effect
Pages 305-315
Zohar Livnat    

Research highlights
? The question of quantity connects intriguingly to untruthfulness. ? 'Quantity'
might include quantity of verbiage, punctuation, emotion and intonation. ? Both
parts of the Maxim of Quantity are relevant for ironic interpretation.

9. Redundancy, irony and humor
Pages 316-329
Galia Hirsch 

10. The co-operative principle and computer-mediated communication: the maxim of
quantity in newsgroup discussions
Pages 330-340
Hassan Atifi, Sacha Mandelcwajg, Michel Marcoccia     

11. Forthcoming Articles
