Abstract:

This volume is a collection of 18 papers on the communication of certainty and
uncertainty. The first part introduces recent theoretical developments and
general models on the topic and its relations with modality, subjectivity,
inter-subjectivity, epistemicity, evidentiality, hedging, mitigation and
speech acts. In the second part, results from empirical studies in medical and
supportive contexts are presented, all of which are based on a conversational
analysis approach. These papers report on professional dialogues including
advice giving in gynecological consultations, breaking diagnostic bad news to
patients, emergency calls, addiction therapeutic community meetings and
bureaucratic-institutional interactions. The final part concerns the
qualitative and quantitative analysis of corpora, addressing scientific
writing (both research and popular articles) and academic communication in
English, German, Spanish and Romanian. The collection is addressed to scholars
concerned with the topical issues from a theoretical and analytical
perspective and to health professionals interested in the practical
implications of communicating certainty or uncertainty.
