“…However, it should be noted that the R-NICHD protocol, as compared to the standard NICHD protocol, shifted in focus from mostly using cognitive techniques to additionally making extensive use of socio-emotional interview techniques. While techniques focusing on cognitive factors should have a fairly comparable effect across cultures, it is possible that specific socio-emotional interview techniques are perceived differently across cultural groups ( Bowe et al, 2014 ). For example, it would have to be examined whether the negative ratings of specific techniques that express a particular personal interest, or are associated with great physical closeness, are due to cultural differences in the perception of personal space.…”

The use of the rapport-building and supportive techniques formulated by the R-NICHD protocol is intended to support children and increase the quality of their statements as well as disclosures without possessing suggestive potential. While the effectiveness of the entire R-NICHD protocol for children who have actually experienced child sexual abuse (CSA) has been supported by research, to date no study assessed the effect of each individual socio-emotional interview technique in both interviewees with and without CSA experiences. The current study aimed to address this gap in research by means of an online vignette-study, asking participants to rate the identified rapport-building and supportive techniques on the scales well-being, willingness to talk, and perceived pressure. A total of 187 participants were randomly assigned to either a hypothetical “abused” or a hypothetical “not abused” group by means of a vignette-manipulation. The results suggest that many socio-emotional interview techniques were perceived as supportive and non-suggestive, while a number of techniques were perceived as not supportive but suggestive. Few differences emerged between the hypothetical “abused” group and the hypothetical “not abused” control group. To conclude, most but not all rapport-building and supportive techniques proposed by the R-NICHD protocol had a positive effect on interviewees.

“…This linear pattern is not common to discourse in all languages (Connor, ). Some use circling, parallel or multi‐thread structures, or are much happier with the inclusion of extensive philosophical digressions (Bowe et al ., , chapter 8). The commonly taught AIMRDC style also tends to favour those empirical studies that can easily be set in such a framework, rather than ones whose real focus is on concepts or interpretive strategies.…”

International English has come to dominate science publication. For both first and second language speakers, the constraints of language for communication in geomorphology are reviewed, including uncertainties with terminology, subtleties of qualification and explanation in the written presentation of arguments, and formalities in the rhetorical structuring of published papers. Distinctive qualities of style and presentation need to be recognized because, in geomorphology as generally, full qualitative meanings may pass lingua franca or second language speakers by, whilst formulaic discourse may disguise shortcomings. The alternative of language simplification for international usage may not be wholly desirable if valued functions are lost. Language is also increasingly being coupled with visual devices, pictorial and diagrammatic images and data tables, which are internationally intelligible. These can leave viewers with greater hermeneutic (text interpretation) freedom, and therefore a variety of outcomes in understanding. Mathematical treatments, with their precision and predictive utility, have great universal value and they leave readers with rather less interpretive freedom. Debate is due, both by first and by second English language geomorphologists, as to how well developing presentation styles in international English suit scientific purposes.

“…The concept of "face" refers to the emotional and social sense of self that everyone has and expects everyone else to (Yule, 1996). In addition, Brown and Levinson in Bowe et al (Bowe, Martin, & Manns, 2007) stated that politeness system deals with "Face Threatening Act" (FTA). They also suggested that the assessment of the seriousness of FTA involves social distance (D), relative power (P) and absolute ranking (R) in many and perhaps all cultures.…”

As opposed to informational purposes, phatic utterances hold a bigger role in human communication that is to keep social relations among people. Though people hardly ever notice the importance of phatic utterances, these are the utterances that indispensable in their daily basis communication used to avoid the sense of impoliteness, especially when meeting people they are familiar with. In uttering phatic, people use a variety of ways including raising humor. The humourous phatic utterances are interesting to be analyzed in order to investigate the implementation of politeness strategies used along with the production of phatic utterances. To the researcher's best knowledge, the link between humorous phatic utterances and politeness strategies has not become the concern of previous researches. Therefore, this research was conducted to describe phatic utterances conveyed by the characters of a widely known situation comedy (sitcom) Friends and also to find out the politeness strategies applied when uttering the phatic utterances. The researcher used solidarity and deference of politeness strategies as proposed by Yule (1996) to analyze each phatic utterance found. The design of this research was descriptive qualitative. The data were documented from the sitcom episode 21-24. The data were analyzed by describing the context used and giving the explanation of each datum that was included in phatic utterances. After conducting the analysis, it is found that there are 37 phatic utterances used in the sitcom. Politeness strategies are always applied in any phatic utterances found and the most frequently used politeness strategy is solidarity strategy.
