CLU-SAL publishes monographs and edited collections, culturally oriented grammars and dictionaries in the cross-and interdisciplinary domain of anthropological linguistics or linguistic anthropology. The series offers a forum for anthropological research based on knowledge of the native languages of the people being studied and that linguistic research and grammatical studies must be based on a deep understanding of the function of speech forms in the speech community under study. His research focuses on spoken English, with a particular attention to narrative as well as verbal humor, and is rooted in the wide field of pragmatics. His monographs include Conversational Joking: Humor in Everyday Talk and the popular Conversational Narrative, which has recently been reprinted in paperback edition.He co-edited a handbook on phraseology and volumes on the Foundations of Pragmatics and on Humor in Interaction, which has also seen a reprint in paperback. After many years as Special Issues Editor, he is now Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Pragmatics. He also serves on the Consultation Board of the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA) as well as on the editorial boards of a number of journals from the fields of pragmatics and humor studies (e.g. Text and Talk and Humor).In this millennium only, he has published more than 50 articles in peerreviewed journals and edited volumes reflecting his manifold interests in language in use, its forms and functions, including topics as diverse as conjunctions, interjections, pragmatic markers, tellability, swearing, remembering, listener practices, similes, scripted performances, laughter, conflict, and the construction of identities in talk. Uniting his two passions, language and cooking, he has worked on recipes as early as 1983. His recent addition to the field of culinary linguistics is on "Conversational recipe telling" (2011).The articles in this volume were written and assembled as a token of gratitude and affection for our teacher, mentor and colleague.1. We would like to thank the student helpers of English linguistics, above all Isabel Schul and Daniel Recktenwald, for their help, and also our colleagues at the English department of Saarland University and everybody else for not "spilling the beans." Aperitivo Overview of the volume Maximiliane FrobeniusSaarland UniversityThe present volume contains a collection of original research articles from multiple disciplines, revolving around the common theme of language and food and the manifestation of the two within their cultural framework. This section gives a brief overview of the general structure of the volume and of the individual contributions.Similar to the intricate task of composing a four course meal for invited guests, the assembling of an edited volume demands a sense of "what goes together. " The metaphor of the menu serves as the vehicle for the order of contributions: we start with an introduction to the whole field of research (Antipasti), move on to contributions in the form of original research ar...

“…A key focus of our contentions is the concept of 'relational practice' 24 which is often discounted, considered 'softer', invisible and off-record, yet it is a vital link to support the relationship growth and support amongst LTC service users [25][26][27] . Relational practice has been defined as activities "necessary to develop and sustain interpersonal relationships" based on an understanding of individuals' circumstances and their contexts 27,28 .…”

Societal and demographic changes coupled with recent economic challenges have challenged us to reconsider how we deliver health and social care in our communities [1][2][3][4][5] . Considering the key healthcare drivers which support longevity (for example, healthy living, medicine developments and healthcare technology), long-term conditions (LTC) will continue to place a significant and growing burden on healthcare service systems. A long-term condition is a medical condition that cannot at present be cured, but can be controlled by medication and other therapies.Thus, as the population of older people increases, it is inevitable that such changes will continue to place pressure on our healthcare systems. As a result, there is a growing interest in examining the potential of information and communication technology (ICT) to support a transition from a hospital-focused healthcare system to a homecare-focused health system 6 . OECD, EU anD WHOThe Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines the elderly dependency rate as "the ratio between the elderly population and the working age (15-64 years) population" 7. The elderly population is defined as people aged 65 and over. There has been a significant increase (ranging from 7-25%) in the growth of the older population across OECD countries between 1970 and 2014 ( Figure 1). This also has a number of implications for government and private spending especially on healthcare which warrant immediate attention in terms of providing proactive healthcare service solutions.Sustaining this ageing population requires focus on prolonging and achieving equity in good health and well-being throughout the life course. Many services for the ageing population are typically packaged in long-term care, which is often delivered through a combination of social ser- Background Societal, demographic and economic changes have encouraged us to reconsider how we deliver health and social care to older people and their families in our communities. The emergence of 'Connected Health' (CH), through the use of information and communication technology (ICT) has gained increased attention. CH is considered to offer the potential for cost-effective, innovative care solutions which can help to support and empower older people and family carers. In doing so there exists potential to help older people and family carers manage the impact of living with long-term conditions (LTC) at home. Method We undertook a systematic mapping study to (i) identify the key challenges for older people suffering from long-term conditions and their carers and (ii) explore how CH could support older people suffering from long-term conditions and their carers. This article presents a review and mapping of the current status of CH with a particular focus on the use of ICT to empower older people and their families to manage LTC. Results The findings identify key challenges to LTC and the drivers for the emergence of CH presented as a Connected Community Healthcare Ecosystem (CCHE). This work also...

“…Thus, in spite of the existence of pioneering studies on this topic (Kakavá 1993;Kotthof 1993;Pomerantz 1984;Tannen 1994, among others), it has been in recent times that we have witnessed a proliferation of studies on this speech act. 3 However, the majority of studies on disagreement have focused on the production of this speech act by native speakers of English (and its different varieties) (Angouri and Marra 2012;Baym 1996;Bolander 2012;Grimshaw 1990;Gruber 2001;Holmes and Marra 2004;Langlotz and Locher 2012;Muntigl and Turnbull 1998;Rees-Miller 2000). English has also been contrasted with other languages such as Greek (Georgakopoulou 2001;Koutsantoni 2005;Sifianou 1992), Chinese (Bond, Zegarac and Spencer-Oatey 2000;Liang and Han 2005), Japanese (Lawson 2009;LoCastro 1986;Nakajima 1997) or Spanish (García 1989;Santamaría-García 2006), to mention some examples.…”

Expressing disagreement in English as a lingua franca: Whose pragmatic rules?

Intercultural Pragmatics

Multicultural classrooms provide the intercultural pragmatist with a breeding ground to get firsthand information on intercultural communication. In such a context, if English is used as a lingua franca, these classrooms also become an ideal setting to observe the pragmatics of this relatively unknown variety. The present article aims to analyze qualitatively a sample of data produced by a multicultural group of masters students in which English is used as the lingua franca. More specifically, I intend to answer the following research question: In a multicultural class where English is the medium of instruction and students' peer to peer communication, whose pragmatic "rules" are followed? In other words, do these speakers stick to their own cultural pragmatic rules or follow nativelike ones? More specifically, I focus on the speech act of disagreement given its face-threatening nature and its disruptive potential if carried out in what interlocutors might perceive as the "wrong" way. Disagreement was also chosen given the relative paucity of studies on this speech act -as opposed, for example, others like requests or compliments. For this purpose, the 10 students -from very different cultural backgrounds -were asked to carry out a group assignment. Their negotiation and discussion process, however, was computer-mediated via the use of forums rather than face-to-face. This allowed the researcher to collect naturally occurring, spontaneous data in a relatively easy way (without the need for transcription). It also gave the students the opportunity to interact in a more democratic way. In fact, by being an asynchronous discussion online, they did not have to fight for the conversational turn, but all of them had the chance to contribute to the discussion at their own pace. The sample so collected consists of 15,598 words. The limitation of the sample calls for a qualitative rather than a quantitative approach but is valuable insofar as it represents naturally occurring data. Disagreement expressions were classified according to two main categories: strong and mitigated disagreement (following Kreutel 2007;Pomerantz 1984 andRees-Miller 2000). Inspection of the data reveals that students on the whole show a tendency to avoid strong disagreement whilst favoring mitigated disagreement of different sorts (e.g., use of hedges, asking for clarification, giving explanations, etc.). Moreover, students with high linguistic proficiency displayed a wider range of strategies, following a more nativelike pattern -specifically; they seemed to follow the pragmatic rules of British English. On the other hand, students whose linguistic proficiency was lower also showed a tendency to avoid strong
