Meeting Description:

This is a panel of the 18th International Pragmatics Conference organized by
Johanna Miecznikowski (Università della Svizzera italiana) and Jérôme Jacquin
(University of Lausanne). It brings together corpus linguistic contributions
on epistemicity (Boye 2012) in spoken language in an interactional
perspective.

The question of how knowledge is negotiated among speakers is crucial for the
study of talk-in-interaction. This has been suggested by research about
epistemic stance-taking in conversation analysis and in interactional
linguistics, which has investigated its role in the formation, ascription and
sequential organization of actions and in the construction of identities and
social relations. After seminal works such as Heritage’s study about ‘oh’ as a
change of state token (1984) or Pomerantz’ work about source-giving (1984a,b),
that research has been developed significantly in the last two decades
(Heritage & Raymond 2005; Stivers & Rossano 2010; Mushin 2012; Stivers,
Mondada & Steensig 2011; Heritage 2012; Levinson 2012; Sidnell 2012; Lindström
et al. 2016), more recently considering multimodal aspects as well (Mondada
2013; Kendrick 2019; Pekarek Doehler in press).

CA research mainly presents detailed qualitative analyses of single cases or
sequence collections. Still other methods have been adopted in typological and
functional linguistics, which usually focus on individual grammatical or
lexical markers of epistemic modality and of information source or on
paradigms of such markers. In these fields, the specific question of
epistemicity in spoken language has attracted scholarly attention only
recently. The existing studies have mainly adopted a corpus
linguistic/pragmatic approach (Aijmer & Rühlemann 2014), i.e. are based on
oral corpora, resort to systematic annotation in various stages of analysis
and take into account the quantitative distribution of phenomena. Meeting the
tradition of linguistic research on discourse markers, they treat epistemic
and evidential marking both in a semasiological perspective (Cuenca & Marín
2012; Cornillie & Gras 2015; Jacquin et al. 2022) and in an onomasiological
perspective (Pietrandrea 2018; Miecznikowski 2022).

>From the viewpoint of interactional linguistics, that body of research raises
a series of issues: In which sequential positions do epistemic and evidential
markers and constructions tend to occur? How are they combined with, or do
alternate with, paraverbal means (gaze, facial expression, gesture, body
posture)? How should the classes of actions for which they are relevant be
defined? Which role does the situational context play, especially as a source
of perceptual evidence? What is the relation of epistemic and evidential
marking with practices that organize larger portions of discourse, such as
story-telling or argumentation? How does it vary across activity types and
discourse genres?

Call for Papers:

To answer the questions in the focus of this panel, detailed qualitative
analysis can fruitfully be combined with methods that allow to treat larger
amounts of oral data. The panel organizers therefore encourage the submission
of contributions on the topic that adopt corpus linguistic/pragmatic and
collection-based approaches, inviting panelists to discuss methodological
challenges as well.

In order to submit a panel contribution, please refer to the Call for Papers
of IPrA 2023: https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP. 
Panel contributions can be submitted from 19 July 2022 until the deadlinest of
November 1st, 2022. Though it is the panel organizers who take active
responsibility for the quality of the contributions to their panel (i.e. they
decide what is accepted), abstracts must, for all panel contributions
(including the ones invited by the organizers) be submitted by the
contributors separately by 1 November 2022. Panel organizers are expected to
guide invited participants in this process, so that all formal requirements
are duly fulfilled, and the abstracts live up to the expected international
standards. Spontaneously submitted panel contributions that are not accepted
by the panel organizers will be evaluated as individual presentations. Note
that you can submit your abstract for consideration by the organizers of one
panel only. To facilitate your choice, you may download the file with panel
abstracts from the program page:
https://pragmatics.international/page/Program2023.

When you're ready to submit your abstract, please go to the conference website
of IPrA 2023: https://ipra2023.exordo.com/. 
Click 'Log in', fill in your IPrA membership user name and password (note that
you have to be IPrA member to submit an abstract), and proceed.
