“…According to Arndt and Janney (1991), the ability to produce, coordinate, and understand emotional signals in speech is a prerequisite ''for negotiating claims to power, respect, or equality, defining degrees of intimacy, showing affiliation or nonaffiliation, avoiding face threats, repairing interpersonal misunderstandings, and so forth' ' (pp. 521-522).…”

“…emotive discourse. Arndt andJanney (1991, in Caffi &Janney, 1994) examine this distinction in a more detailed way. While emotional discourse is seen as "a type of spontaneous, unintentional leakage or bursting out of emotion in speech" (Caffi & Janney,p.…”

This paper investigates how Italian native speakers express surprise in English as their second language on Facebook. A qualitative study was conducted on a corpus of forty English utterances by Italian native speakers conveying surprise and two control corpora composed of forty Italian and forty English native speakers' expressions. First, a systemic approach will be adopted: by analysing the order in which the speaker reacts to, comments on, and wonders about new information, the objective is to determine a pattern peculiar to the verbal expression of surprise, and to ascertain how the mother tongue and the language-learning background are influential when expressing an instinctive reaction such as surprise in a foreign language. Attention will then be paid to the lexical expression of surprise. In particular, the analysis will focus on the features specific to non-native speakers (i.e. use of verbs and code-switching), on the codes peculiar to CMC (i.e. smileys and punctuation), and on how these codes are employed to convey surprise disruption, valence and intensity. By examining all these aspects, this research examines how English non-native speakers express surprise in chats.

“…4 Also, some conversational and discourse analytical studies have to be mentioned. These studies focus, however, on different displays of emotive communication, i.e., intentional expressions of feelings, rather than emotional communication, i.e., the spontaneous unplanned externalization of internal affects (Arndt and Janney, 1991;Caffi and Janney, 1994;and Selting, 1994). The dimension of emotive communication is important.…”

Emotions have increasingly become the object of systematic sociological inquiry. Due to their special nature, a number of methodological problems accrue to the task of making emotions accessible to analysis. This article presents the results of an inquiry into the ways in which emotions are expressed in narratives and conversation. Conversations involving positive and negative self-feelings are analyzed in regard to paralinguistic markers. These markers are presented and discussed, and the ways in which markers ofthis kind can be interpreted in regard to the analysis of interview material are also considered.Emotions have become the object of systematic sociological inquiry within recent decades (Kemper, 1990;Collins, 1975;Hochschild, 1983; and Scheff, 1990, among others). Systematic inquiry, however, gives rise to a number of methodological difficulties related to the special nature of the object of analysis. Emotions have somatic characteristics, their expression can take nonverbal forms and their structure of meaning be far from clear-cut. In social research the language of conversation, including that of the interview, remains one of the most important tools of social analysis, ä means whereby insight is gained into everyday life, äs well äs the social and cultural dimensions of our own and other societies. A broad spectrum of data is provided by the .verbal reconstruction of experiences, episodes and situations undertaken by respondents during interview. Whether reconstruction of this kind, undertaken in interaction with an Interviewer, can also yield insight into the emotional dimensions of social life is less clear.
