Abstract:

This book showcases innovative research about the multi-functional and dynamic
interrelatedness of questioning and answering practices in institution- and
culture-specific interactions ranging from under-explored to extensively
researched ones: South-Korean talk shows, Japanese interviews, Chinese news
interviews, police-civilian interactions in the USA, Italian interviews and
courtroom examinations, Japanese parliamentary debates and Prime Minister’s
Questions in the UK Parliament.

Challenging the view that questions are asked with the purpose of seeking
information and eliciting answers, these studies open up new research avenues
through insightful investigations and critical scrutiny that problematize the
question-answer paradigm, through which meanings are conveyed, negotiated
and/or contested, and through which relationships are established, maintained
and/or challenged. Significant findings show that questioning and answering
strategies are shaped by the specific norms and constraints of particular
communities of practice, while at the same time they are shaping the very same
communities of practice. This book will appeal to interdisciplinary scholars
and practitioners across the linguistic, media, political, legal and social
sciences.
