“…This reinforced other speakers’ discourse, avoided voicing an opinion that departed from the perceived norm, and reduced accountability for discourse. Pagliai (2012) suggested that a function of non-alignment in footing was to conceal disagreement with other speakers. However, the strategy, in this case, may have also served to conceal agreement with a statement creating discordance between actual and desired self-image.…”

Ashworth Hospital provides care for inpatients detained under the Mental Health Acts who present a danger to themselves or others. Rehabilitative interventions can help support the best outcomes for patients, their families, care providers, and society. The efficacy of weekly Shared Reading sessions for four patients with experience of psychosis and a history of self-harm was investigated using a 12-month longitudinal case series design. Session data were subjected to psychological discourse analysis to identify discursive strategies employed to accomplish social action and change over the duration of the intervention. Archetypes of interactional achievement across sessions emerged. Broadening of capacity to consider was demonstrated through increased hedging and less declarative language. Increased assertiveness was achieved through reduced generalisation marked by a transition from second-person plural pronouns to more first-person singular pronouns. Avoidance of expression and disagreement strategies diminished over time. In addition, heightened engagement was accomplished through the increased tendency to employ functionally related and preferred responses within adjacency pairs, which mirrored non-verbal communicative strategies. Shared Reading shows promise for promoting the interactional accomplishment for individuals within high secure settings, who are ready to undertake a recovery-related activity. Pathways of interaction should continue to be explored, with consideration to the current study’s strengths and limitations. This study contributes to the understanding of efficacious reading study design and the interactional outcomes of therapeutic reading.

“…These implications compound into more enduring ideologies. Continual engagements and reception to memeflags create a lasting framework through which users align themselves (see Agha, 2005; Pagliai, 2012). The continued understanding of “what memeflags do” offers a light identity marker through which users may interact.…”

This article explores the ways in which Blommaert’s (2018) notion of “light” identity markers in digital spaces shows—through specific features within /pol/—the “politically incorrect” board of the popular anonymous imageboard website 4chan. Here, flags attached to individual user posts work to frame interaction, which can both signal sincerity to a post with a national flag, or demonstrate a predilection for deception and trolling with what is known as a “memeflag.” Users implement these choices to alter performative aspects of interaction on /pol/ and the “audience” of other users offer their own evaluations, dismissals, and jokes in the face of these displays. This article posits that “light” identity features, or those located within specific communities, as opposed to more widespread or institutionalized aspects of identities create categories of awareness in 4chan that, in turn, shapes ideas of competence for those who have “lurked” long enough to glean it.

“…Finally, work over the past year has looked at direct strategies for intervening in discourses that reproduce racism. In her close analysis of talk about immigrants in Italy, Valentina Pagliai () examines how speakers establish footings of nonalignment to disengage from racializing discourses. At a wider scale, the Language and Social Justice Committee of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology has been actively engaged in disrupting a racializing discourse in the United States in which undocumented immigrants are labeled “illegal.” In spring of 2013, the “Drop the I‐Word” campaign (Rosa ) was successful in convincing the Associated Press and other media outlets to terminate the use of illegal when characterizing the authorization status of migrants.…”

In this essay, I discuss how linguistic anthropological scholarship in 2013 has been increasingly confronted by the concepts of "superdiversity," "new media," and "big data." As the "super-new-big" purports to identify a contemporary moment in which we are witnessing unprecedented change, I interrogate the degree to which these concepts rely on assumptions about "reality" as natural state versus ideological production. I consider how the super-new-big invites us to scrutinize various reconceptualizations of diversity (is it super?), media (is it new?), and data (is it big?), leaving us to inevitably contemplate each concept's implicitly invoked opposite: "regular diversity," "old media," and "small data." In the section on "diversity," I explore linguistic anthropological scholarship that examines how notions of difference continue to be entangled in projects of the nation-state, the market economy, and social inequality. In the sections on "media" and "data," I consider how questions about what constitutes linguistic anthropological data and methodology are being raised and addressed by research that analyzes new and old technologies, ethnographic material, semiotic forms, scale, and ontology. I conclude by questioning the extent to which it is the super-new-big itself or the contemplation about the super-new-big that produces perceived change in the world. [linguistic anthropology, superdiversity, new media, big data, technology, semiotics, ontology] RESUMEN En este ensayo, discuto cómo el conocimiento en antropología lingüística en el 2013 ha sido crecientemente confrontado por los conceptos de "superdiversidad" "medios nuevos" y "bases de datos grandes." En la medida en que los "super-nuevos-grandes" pretenden identificar un momento contemporáneo en el cual estamos presenciando un cambio sin precedentes, interrogo el grado al cual estos conceptos dependen de asunciones sobre "realidad" como un estado natural versus una producción ideológica. Considero cómo los super-nuevos-grandes nos invitan a escudriñar varias reconceptualizaciones de diversidad (¿es super?), medios (¿son nuevos), y bases de datos (¿son grandes?) permitiéndonos contemplar inevitablemente el opuesto invocado implícitamente en cada concepto: "diversidad regular," "medios antiguos," "bases de datos pequeñas." En la sección de diversidad, exploro el conocimiento lingüístico antropológico que examina cómo nociones de diferencia continúan siendo involucradas en proyectos del estado-nación, la economía de mercado y la desigualdad social. En las secciones sobre "medios" y "datos," considero cómo cuestiones sobre lo que constituye información y metodología antropológica lingüística están siendo planteadas y abordadas por investigación que analiza nuevas y viejas tecnologías, material etnográfico, formas semióticas, escala y ontología. Concluyo cuestionando en qué medida son los super-nuevos-grandes en sí mismos o la contemplación sobre los super-nuevos-grandes lo que produce el cambio`percibido en el mundo.
