Meeting Description:

Panel organizers: Laura Alba-Juez & Michael Haugh

Displaying and responding to emotions is a critical part of human
communication and relational work. Research on affect and emotions at the turn
and first two decades of the 21th century shows that humans are not epitomes
of reason, as previously believed (e.g. Ochs & Schieffelin 1989; Ekman 2003;
Bednarek 2008; Scherer 2009; Wilce 2009; Kahneman 2011; Foolen et al. 2012;
Damasio 2003, 2018; Wetherell 2012; Spencer-Oatey 2013; Culpeper et al. 2014;
Dewaele 2015; Alba-Juez 2018; Mackenzie & Alba-Juez 2019). Emotion permeates
every human activity, and scholars have thus come to realize that to study the
human condition without including the emotive variable does not allow us to
see it in its whole complexity. It is now well established that the study of
emotion is crucial not only for the comprehension of the mechanisms of the
human psyche, but also for the study of language, communication and social
interaction. Indeed, the fact that humans express emotions by means of speech
acts, drawing on different affective practices, is one of the most salient
characteristics distinguishing them from other animals, which thus makes the
phenomenon worthy of investigation.

The panel will focus on emotion from a sociopragmatic perspective (Alba-Juez
forthcoming; Langlotz and Locher 2017; cf. Caffi and Janney 1994), that is,
social, interactional, and normative dimensions of language use (Haugh, Kadar
& Terkourafi forthcoming), building on the original focus of sociopragmatics
on social dimensions of language use (Leech 1983) . Thus we intend to take
into account aspects of emotion communication such as the users’ perceptions
of the attitudinal context, the sociocultural norms involved, the
interpretation of emotive acts as (in)appropriate, the constitutive role of
emotions in relational work, among many others. We will argue in favor of the
need to broaden the scope of research towards a sociopragmatic,
multidisciplinary and multidimensional analysis of emotion in discourse and
interaction.


Call for Papers: 

We will encourage and invite scholars from a range of methodological
perspectives, including but not limited to discourse analysis, conversation
analysis, corpus pragmatics, and experimental pragmatics to contribute to the
panel with their work on sociopragmatic aspects of emotion such as (but not
limited to) the following topics: 
 - Gender and emotion
 - Hate speech
 - Power and emotion
 - Fake news and emotion: lying and bullshitting
 - Persuasion as a means for the manipulation of emotions
 - Emotional intelligence and (im)politeness/ Relational work
 - Taboo language and emotion
 - Irony, humor and emotion
 - Online, mediated emotions/Cyberemotion: loneliness, happiness, anger, etc.
on the internet
 - Intercultural emotional communication
 - Cultural emotion and its sociopragmatic inferences
 - Trauma, shock and emotions in times of disaster/global crisis (earthquakes,
Coronavirus, etc.) E.g. how it affects social distance and other
sociopragmatic variables
 - Collective emotions: relational emotions, emotional contagion, emotion and
the formation of social identities
 - Emotions and otherness/ alterity
 - Interdisciplinary studies on emotion (psychology, sociology, neurology,
etc. and linguistics)
 - Metapragmatics of emotion
 - Emotion as a means for persuasion and manipulation

All submissions have to be made via the IPrA Website, as indicated on the CFP
