Research paper thumbnail of To speak or not to speak: notes on silence as a dialog speech act

I start from the premise that silence and speech are not contradictory categories, but they are integrated within a continuum. I also consider that silence is an integrative part of human communication and I will dwell upon the idea that eloquent silence (Sifianou 1997, Ephratt 2008) can be considered a dialogic speech act (Weigand 2010) since the speaker has specific intentions, goals, purposes and interests in using silence both as action, to make a claim, and reaction, to fulfil a claim. Using examples from transcriptions of naturally-occurring conversations, I discuss silence as an intentional and purposeful action by which an individual can convey meaningful messages.

The present article approaches irony from a contextual perspective, in an attempt to show how the various contexts affect speaker’s choices and how the presence or the absence of the interlocutor may interfere in interpreting an ironic comment.

Spre deosebire de secvenţa iniţială, când indivizii stabilesc de obicei un moment relevant pentru iniţierea conversaţiei, secvenţa finală poate fi precedată atât de tăcere (sau o scurtă pauză), cât şi de discurs. În ambele cazuri, interactanţii pot recurge la o presecvenţă prin care anunţă începutul secvenţei finale. Pe lângă posibila presecvenţă de încheiere (Schegloff, 1973), secvenţa finală mai are o componentă: schimbul final ritualic. Determinantul „posibilăŗ are următoarea justificare: prin enunţul său, vorbitorul curent nu se referă nici la vreunul din subiectele anterioare, dar nici nu mai iniţiază un alt subiect; enunţul său oferă posibilitatea interlocutorului să iniţieze fie un nou subiect, fie încheierea conversaţiei.

Multinational companies have implemented Western European and American communicative practices and pattern. Thus, new communicative patterns have emerged in professional Romanian. In this paper we present part of the results of a larger ongoing research project, 'Professional Language in Present-day Romanian. Linguistic Patterns and Discursive Structures', which is supported by a governmental, grant (CNCSIS, ID 142). Within the frameworks of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis, we will focus on three aspects that cover various linguistic compartments: new textual patterns, lexico-semantic innovations, and salutation formulas. The data for this paper have been selected from the corpus 'Workplace communication. Tentative typology of Romanian professional written texts'. The corpus contains 126 texts, which were written in various fields of activity (commercial, production, administrative, educational, military, and medical). In this paper, we argue and exemplify the ways in which various discursive structures have been adapted to the Romanian specificities of intra-organizational communication, and we lay special emphasis on the reorganization of the lexical level as a result of the influence of English on Romanian as well as on the alterations brought about by the familiar 'you' and first name address in salutation formulas.
