In this position paper, we provide an overview of what we regard as the most important features of the relationship between the moral order and morality in the context of language conflict and aggression. While in previous pragmatic research the concepts of morality and moral order have been rarely brought together, we illustrate that they are inseparable, in particular in the context of conflict and aggression. We propose an analytic model – with replicability in mind – which captures the dynamic relationship between these phenomena: the model is centred on the idea that perceived (a) violations of the moral order, (b) breaches of moral norms, principles and ideologies, (c) conflict and (d) aggression constitute a cluster. The explanatory power of this dynamics resides in the fact that it can account for a variety of seemingly unrelated scenarios, such as conflicts triggered by the violation of interactional norms vs. rites of moral aggression. Along with detailing the model, we explore the relationship between various methodologies through which one can examine morality and the moral order in the context of language conflict and aggression.
The concept of identity frequently appears in the research literature of such disciplines as linguistics, communication, sociology, social psychology, and other interdisciplinary areas. Drawing upon a wide variety of literature and authentic data, Chen presents a systematic theorisation of pragmatic identity. This book focuses on the identity presented in naturally occurring verbal communication and how this identity is closely connected with the construction and interpretation of the discourse, be it the identities that are adopted by the interactants or the identity of a third party which is alluded to by the interactants in the discourse (Chen 2018: 2). This timely pragmatic theorisation of identity provides an important analytical tool for the examination of verbal communication and offers new opportunities in existing pragmatic studies. The theorisation in this book has
In the thesis, Reception Theory is introduced to the studies of EST translation to explore the mutual influence and restriction between the author, the translator and readers, as well as the respective reception problems, on the basis of which, the characteristics, principles and strategies of translation are analyzed
