“…Macro strategy is used by language users in performing the act of disagreeing, namely direct and indirect strategies. Some research findings confirming the existence of direct and indirect strategies in disagreeing are Rohmah (2006), Locastro (1986), Blum-Kulka (2002), and Behnam and Niroomand (2011).…”

This study aims at finding out patterns of the relationship between students' strategies in disagreeing and their English proficiency using qualitative conversational analysis. Students joining Seminar on Linguistics course in the School of Culture Studies at Universitas Brawijaya (UB) Indonesia in the odd semester of 2010-2011 were the participants of this research. They were classified into four levels of language proficiency: pre-intermediate, intermediate, pre-advanced, and advanced according to their TOEFL scores. The data of this study were students' utterances containing the force of disagreement, their TOEFL scores, and their responses to interviews. The findings of this research suggest that students' strategies in disagreeing can be classified into two macro strategies: direct and indirect strategies. Direct strategy covers four micro strategies: refusal, denial, correction, and strong criticism. Indirect strategy was represented in four micro strategies: mild-criticism, internally-contrasting, reminding, and suggestion. Besides, the findings revealed that students having higher levels of English proficiency tended to use indirect strategies, but those at lower levels used direct ways in disagreeing.

“…In many settings disagreements are encouraged, and indeed are an expected part of social practice. Several authors have examined disagreements in different cultural settings (Schiffrin, 1984;Kakava, 1993;Blum-Kulka et al, 2002;Marra, 2012;Goodwin et al, 2002;Tannen & Kakava, 1992). Findings show that disagreements may be discouraged or encouraged depending on the cultural setting.…”

This article examines dyadic team work via video conferencing (inter)actions and explicates communicating and accepting knowledge, coordinating attention, and disagreeing. We demonstrate that such knowledge communication, which in the literature quite often is viewed as solely or primarily language-based is, is in fact always multimodal. Communicating knowledge, coordinating attention, and disagreeing are always performed through the interconnection of multiple modes from gaze and gesture, to posture and object handling, and may be produced with or without language. According to our findings presented here, the verbal acceptance of knowledge lags much behind the action that already demonstrated a participant's acceptance of another's knowledge. Language use also tells us little about the attention that a participant may pay, as being quiet might easily be misinterpreted as listening. Further, our findings show that language is never used alone in disagreements, rather, language may build an aggregate with other modes, and language may be super-ordinated or sub-ordinated to other modes in (inter)action. The article illustrates the complexity of everyday knowledge communication, which is relevant for educational and also particularly to organizational settings.

“…In this case, conflict discourse can become indirect and tangential; hence 'argument' becomes synonymous with a break in the 'dialogicity' (cfr. Blum-Kulka, Blondheim and Hacohen, 2002) or with the flouting of norms of conversational cooperation, as in the two following exchanges in which potentially conflictual moves are deliberately misinterpreted (2) This study focuses in particular on verbal conflict shaped as a token of uncooperative discourse and a break in the conversational flow, which, it is suggested, is often found in the dialogue of melodrama. Through a series of confrontational exchanges from selected films the forms of such 'dysfluency' will be explored.…”

For Blum-Kulka, Blondheim and Hacohen (2002) patterns of highly argumentative Jewish discourse have migrated from Talmudic texts to television talk which exhibits a strong argumentative complexity, episodical break in the dialogicity and disagreement both at the level of content and argumentation and in terms of turn-design features (i.e. absence of mitigating elements).…”
