Sommario/riassunto

The studies in this volume show how speech practices can be understood from a culture-internal perspective, in terms of values, norms and beliefs of the speech communities concerned. Focusing on examples from many different cultural locations, the contributing authors ask not only: 'What is distinctive about these particular ways of speaking?', but also: 'Why - from their own point of view - do the people concerned speak in these particular ways? What sense does it make to them?'. The ethnopragmatic approach stands in opposition to



the culture-external universalist pragmatics represented by neo-Gricean pragmatics and politeness theory. Using "cultural scripts" and semantic explications - techniques developed over 20 years work in cross-cultural semantics by Anna Wierzbicka and colleagues - the authors examine a wide range of phenomena, including: speech acts, terms of address, phraseological patterns, jocular irony, facial expressions, interactional routines, discourse particles, expressive derivation, and emotionality. The authors and languages are: Anna Wierzbicka (English), Cliff Goddard (Australian English), Jock Wong (Singapore English), Zhengdao Ye (Chinese), Catherine Travis (Colombian Spanish), Rie Hasada (Japanese) and Felix Ameka (Ewe). Taken together, these studies demonstrate both the profound "cultural shaping" of speech practices, and the power and subtlety of new methods and techniques of a semantically grounded ethnopragmatics. The book will appeal not only to linguists and anthropologists, but to all scholars and students with an interest in language, communication and culture.

Sommario/riassunto

Ce deuxième volume du « Moyen Âge dans le texte », issu de journées d'études tenues au Laboratoire de médiévistique occidentale de Paris entre 2013 et 2018, poursuit un travail de réflexion et d'exploration des champs ouverts par la « nouvelle histoire textuelle », développée depuis une trentaine d'années. L'écrit comme une évidente source de l'enquête historique devient lui-même matière pour les historiens qui interrogent sa forme autant que son contenu et étudient les milieux et



les contextes de son élaboration et de ses usages. Les discussions croisées avec des chercheurs de France et de l'étranger, spécialistes d'histoire médiévale et de littérature, ont permis de confronter les méthodes et les angles d'approche. Or ce volume entend désormais mener l'enquête « au-delà de l'écrit », dans des domaines de recherche relativement récents, où la grande variété des textes du Moyen Âge n'a encore pas été suffisamment exploitée. Quatre thèmes sont ainsi présentés : la poésie, l'espace, le genre, et le commerce.
