“…Baa is regularly attached to discourse linkers roughly corresponding to 'and then', 'once', and similar (Tosco 2002) ; it frequently occurs after tail-head linking clauses, in clauses belonging to event chains, repetitions, etc. (Biber 1984;Saeed 1999: 234;Tosco 2002). mood in question here is directly related to assertion, the defining feature of which is the speaker's commitment to the truth of the proposition expressed (Jary 2010). What is called focus in Somali, then, may well turn out to be based on a type of mood with idiosyncratic properties.…”

A comparative case study analysis has been undertaken on Australian Aboriginal, native Hawaiians, and Māori entrepreneurs. This work investigates the networking activities by these groups of indigenous entrepreneurs situated within a mixed minority (indigenous) and dominant (settler majority) urban cultural setting. The way in which indigenous entrepreneurs network to achieve their business aspirations suggests that the underlying social capital dimensions are unique to their cultural context. Five comparative characteristics also emerged from the data that assist the analysis. The research reveals how indigenous and potentially other minority ethnic entrepreneurs draw upon internal and external network ties that are related to the historical and cultural influence on social capital.

“…Die Frage ist dann, ob der Sprecher auch auf die Wahrheit einer intendierten konversationellen Implikatur festgelegt ist. (Jary 2010;MacFarlane 2011;Kissine 2008). Der Begriff des Commitments stammt eigentlich aus der Sprechakttheorie (Searle 1969;Williamson 1996;Alston 2000;Brandom 1994).…”

Although lying is an action which is fundamental for human communication, there are not many analyses that treat lying from a linguistic point of view. This paper treats lying on the background of recent discussions of the semantics-pragmatics interface. On the one hand, lying has to do with truth and falsehood; since these are semantic notions, there is a semantic side of lying. On the other hand, lying has to do with the speech act of assertion, and this is a genuine pragmatic notion. Semantic and pragmatic aspects go into a proper definition of lying as proposed in this paper. On the basis of typical scenarios it is shown how lying may be distinguished from deception and misleading. It is argued that lying is an act of verbal deception; however, deception has not to be implemented into the definition of lying as a separate condition. This line of argument runs against recent approaches in the philosophy of language (cf. Carson 2010) that defend the view that lying does not include deception. Furthermore, at least some cases of misleading in the sense of Saul (2012) may be analysed as cases of untruthful implicatures. The latter are considered as a part of the total act of lying (see Meibauer 2005, Meibauer 2011, Meibauer 2014a, Meibauer 2014b, and Meibauer 2014c. In the course of this paper further acts such as so-called bald-faced lies, selfless assertions, and bullshitting are discussed and related to the overall topic of lying.
