>From Tea Houses to Izakayas: Social Interaction in East Asian Small
Hospitality Establishments

Guest Editors: Dr. Todd J. Allen & Dr. Xiangdong Liu

Hospitality establishments serve as vibrant hubs of social activities,
encompassing everything from everyday transactional exchanges to more
profound interpersonal dialogues (Ohnishi et al., 2012; Futamura &
Sugiyama, 2018). These locations not only hold social and historical
significance (Farrer, 2021) but are also facing disappearance due to
economic, demographic, and social shifts (Futamura & Sugiyama, 2018).

While researchers have explored similar spaces in contexts such as
Europe and the United States (for example, see Félix-Brasdefer, 2015),
minimal attention has been given to investigating these spaces from
pragmatic and sociolinguistic perspectives in Asia. Recent studies in
Japan by Allen and Liu (2022) and Liu and Allen (2022) have explored
the pragmatic and sociolinguistic elements in Japanese, revealing
routine-like behaviours and various interactional activities related
to politeness, gender, storytelling, interpersonal talk, and more.
More recent work has involved psychological social study research, for
example, food, geographic, and economic studies (Ohnishi et al., 2012;
Farrer, 2022). Moreover, there is a scarcity of cross-cultural
analyses of these spaces (for example, see Wessendorf & Farrer, 2021).

This special issue aims to bridge these research gaps by examining
these spaces across Asian cultures and seek to capture both
transactional and interpersonal communication instances. Additionally,
we aim to account for variations across language and culture in the
East Asian context before the inevitable disappearance of these spaces
by addressing the following broad research question:

What pragmatic activities occur in small hospitality spaces in East
Asia?

The topics that contributors may explore include, but are not limited
to:
•       Conversation analytic approaches to interactions in these
contexts (e.g., turn-taking).
•       Discourse analytic approaches to interactions in these
contexts (e.g., identity).
•       Speech acts, rituals, and routines.
•       The cross-cultural or intercultural aspects within these
spaces.
•       (Im)politeness analyses of interactions in these contexts.
•       Service encounter communication.
•       Interpersonal talk, joking, trouble-telling, storytelling, and
other linguistic and social activities that occur in these contexts.
•       Sociopragmatic perspectives on language use in these contexts.
•       Non-verbal communication and cultural influences in this
context.
•       Meta-pragmatic analyses and awareness.
