Terminologia limbajului în acțiune: analiza conversației între știință și artă
Since the 1970s, when it came to the attention of researchers as the subject of systematic investigations, conversation has always been a tempting field not only for linguists, but also for sociologists, psychologists, ethnologists or ethnographers. The communicative resources of the cultural communities were studied by the followers of linguistic ethnography, of sociolinguistics, of conversational analysis. Therefore, it is explicable that numerous analysis models have been developed, which have highlighted the multitude of speech acts in a community, as well as the complexity of the terminological system specific to this field. For those concerned with this issue, Sanda Golopenția’s studies are of permanent interest. Upon careful reading, the reader discovers a series of original concepts regarding the participants in the conversation, the conversational roles and units, but also the graphic transcription of the conversation. These are studies such as: Morfologia conversației, Conversația – un studiu de caz (I), Conversația – un studiu de caz (II), Trois types de séries conversationnelles, Notaţia conversaţională ca revelator pragmatic, L’histoire conversationnelle (I). I mentioned here only some of the many materials that demonstrate a permanent interest of the author for the study of language in action, materials that were brought together in the recently edited volume Action, interaction, identity, studies of linguistic pragmatics [Acţiune, interacţiune, identitate, studii de pragmatică lingvistică].For the classification and analysis of recorded conversational situations, the author compiles a true glossary of terms, which she establishes through a “concrete and explicit act by which a name is given”, which makes the “world of everyday experience” and the “scientific world” intersect in the process of terminological constitution. On the one hand, these meticulous definitions recall, by the precision of the formulation, the mathematical theorems, and on the other hand, by the ease of the formulation, they recall the apparenly spontaneous interventions of the field researcher who provokes his interlocutor to dialogue. The originality and value of the ideas presented in the numerous studies of Sanda Golopenția result largely from the polyphonic character of the concerns manifested in various fields. Polyphony is, moreover, a true leitmotif of the prodigious activity carried out, which has shown that there is both an art of the science of conversation and a science of the art of conversation.

Introducing pragmatics in use
\"Introducing Pragmatics in Use is a lively and accessible introduction to pragmatics, which both covers theory and applies it to real spoken and written data. This textbook systematically draws on a number of different language corpora and the corresponding software applications. Its primary focus is the application of a corpus methodology in order to examine core component areas such as deixis, politeness, speech acts, language variation and register. The main goal of the book is to contextualise pragmatics in the study of language through the analysis of different language contexts provided by spoken and written corpora. Substantially revised and updated, this second edition covers a wider range of topics, corpora and software packages. It consistently demonstrates the benefits of innovative analytical synergies and extends this to how corpus pragmatics can be further blended with, for example, conversation analysis or variational pragmatics. The second edition also offers a new chapter specifically dedicated to corpus pragmatics which proposes a framework for both form-to-function and function-to-form approaches. The book also addresses the, sometimes thorny, area of the integration of the teaching of pragmatics into the language classroom. All chapters in the second edition include a number of cohesive, step-by-step tasks that can be done in small groups in class, or can be used as self-study resources. A wide range of illustrative language samples drawn from a number of English language corpora, coupled with instructive tasks and annotated further reading sections, make this an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate students of pragmatics, discourse analysis and corpus linguistics within applied languages/linguistics or TESOL programmes\"-- Provided by publisher.

Doing pragmatics
\"Doing Pragmatics is a popular reader-friendly introduction to pragmatics. Embracing the comprehensive and engaging style which characterised the previous editions, this fourth edition has been fully revised. Doing Pragmatics extends beyond theory to promote an applied understanding of empirical data and provides students with the opportunity to 'do' pragmatics themselves. A distinctive feature of this textbook is that virtually all the examples are taken from real world uses of language which reflect the emergent nature of communicative interaction. Grundy consolidates the strengths of the original version, reinforcing its unique combination of theory and practice with new theory, exercises and up-to-date, real data and examples. This book provides the ideal foundation for all those studying pragmatics within English language, linguistics and ELT/TESOL\"-- Provided by publisher.

Pragmática, modo y condicionales
In contrast with the logico-semantical analyses of conditional (Stalnaker, 1968; Lewis, 1973; Pollock, 1976), it is claimed in this paper that it is not possible to give a sound interpretation to such sentential structures if pragmatic factors are not taken into account. In particular, determinants in the assigment of meaning to any such type of conditional are the epistemic attitude of the speaker towards the protasis, and the nature of the communicative context at the time of the utterance. On the other hand, it is argued that the inferential relations of these conditionals, have their origin in the conventional procedures which the expression of epistemic attitudes follow and which underlie all the conditional, indicative and subjunctive structures in Spanish.

Romanian Interjections as Discourse Markers
Ignored by the traditional grammar because of their non-words status the interjections have been placed under a new focus from a pragmatic perspective and recognized as discourse markers (Schiffrin 1987, Fraser 1990). Due to their complex functionality the interjections allow multiple perspectives in recent studies: syntactic (Krieb 2001), pragmatic (Vasilescu 2001, Ștefănescu 2007, Pop 2009), contrastive (Pop 2001, 2003). From the point of view of intercultural pragmatics Romanian language is considered to be an interjectional language that uses interjections as signals to the addressees by comparison with French that uses more message structuring markers (Pop 2006). Certain Romanian interjections with numerous occurrences in spontaneous conversations have been pragmatised during the evolution of language for expressing numerous roles: repair markers, answer particles, topic signals etc.The corpus-driven analysis explores several corpora of Romanian spoken interactions and will demonstrate that certain Romanian interjections (such as a! and e!) are no longer simply emotional or affective words, but significant tools pragmaticalised for expressing an important range of functions: feedback signals, repair markers, answer particles, topic signals, etc. Most examples are excerpted from transcribed familiar conversations published in corpora of spoken Romanian (CORV, CRVA, IVLRA1, IVLRA2, ROVA) and from literature.
