Abstract:

Encounters between people of diverse religious faiths and worldviews are
becoming more common in an increasingly globalized and mobile world. Research
has not, however, kept pace by investigating how people talk about their faith
with others who believe differently.

This monograph addresses that deficit by taking an emergent path, combining
qualitative and quantitative analysis to investigate and understand
multilingual speakers' discursive behaviors in multiparty interreligious
dialogues. Using 33 hours of recordings from conversations across seven
research sites, Sauer Bredvik investigates how speakers’ multilanguaging
practices interact with other indexical and referential signs (unfilled
pauses, disfluency, pragmatic markers) to affect how constitute messages are
understood. By combining corpus-assisted discourse analysis with emic data
taken from observation and 11 hours of participant interviews, one is able to
identify distinct patterns of use between these metalinguistic indicators and
a dialogue outcome.

Readers will gain an understanding of how people of various linguistic and
faith backgrounds use all their semiotic resources to display hospitality and
respect for the Other in multilingual, multifaith settings.
