“…Recent pragmatic work has focused on emotion and impoliteness (Culpeper 2011;Langlotz and Locher, 2012;Langlotz and Locher, 2013;Langlotz and Soltysik Monnet (2014) but still lags behind areas in pragmatic research such as speech acts. While sociolinguists have investigated swearing and swearwords, they have typically done so from a monolingual perspective.…”

Previous research on multilinguals' emotion-laden words has shown that these have more emotional weight in the first language(s) than in languages acquired later in life (Dewaele, 2013). The present study investigates this further with a list of 30 emotion-laden words extracted from the British National Corpus that range in emotional valence from mildly negative to extremely negative. An analysis of data collected via an online questionnaire from 1159 native English (L1) users and 1165 English foreign language (LX) users revealed, surprisingly, that LX users overestimated the offensiveness of most words, with the exception of the most offensive one in the list. It is suggested that when coming across these words in a classroom, learners are warned about them and they attach a red flag to them reminding them of their power. As a result they generally overestimate the power they fail to perceive accurately themselves. LX users were significantly less sure about the exact meaning of most words compared to the L1 users and reported more frequent use of relatively less offensive words while the L1 users reported higher use of more taboo words. Variation among LX users was linked to having (or not) lived in English-speaking environments, to context of acquisition and to self-perceived level of proficiency in English LX.

“…O' Driscoll (1996: 29) offers examples of acts which may or may not be performed (and are subject to cross-cultural and cross-situational variability). And Langlotz & Locher (2013) stress the importance for participants in interaction of the presence or absence of emotional signals relative to norms and expectations. As they exemplify, it can be either presence of absence which is the marked case.…”

The role of language in interpersonal pragmatics

After attempting-and largely failing-to delimit a distinct field of interpersonal pragmatics, this paper explores what is distinctive about interpersonal pragmatic practice; that is, what makes it different from the scholarly tradition of pragmatics. Three facets of practice are discussed: its aims, its approach to data (what aspects are brought into relatively clear focus) and its analysis of data. The common thread running through what is found is a changed, more modest, place for language, the understanding of which is no longer the assumed goal of scholarship, the size of examples of which for analysis have become larger and the use of which is no longer the single focus of analysis. It is argued that this last development should point the way to a particular procedure for analysing interaction. Accordingly, the paper proceeds to an example analysis of one piece of data.
