Focusing on the community of practice that developed during the witch trials in Salem (Massachusetts) in 1692-1693, it showcases how witnesses and the recorders of their ca. 450 depositions deployed linguistic features to signal the evaluation of experiences with alleged witchcraft, the intensification of those experiences, and the sources of the witnesses' knowledge. The resulting stance profiles for groups of depositions, witnesses, and recorders highlight varying strategies of claiming, supporting, and boosting the importance of the evidence and the role of the witnesses within the community of practice. With its innovative focus on sociopragmatic variation in a historical community, the book demonstrates the essential contribution of synchronic-historical research to the analysis, description, and theorization of stance and historical English more broadly"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aPragmatics and Beyond New 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zMassachusetts$zSalem 606 $aTrials (Witchcraft)$zMassachusetts$zSalem 606 $aEnglish language$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xDiscourse analysis 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aEvaluation (Linguistics) 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aTrials (Witchcraft) 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aPragmatics. 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 0$aEvaluation (Linguistics) 676 $a306.442210744 700 $aGrund$b Peter$01521756 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795109103321 996 $aSociopragmatics of stance$93761130 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07762nam 22006855 450 001 9910770268303321 005 20251009082247.0 010 $a9783031428838 010 $a3031428838 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-42883-8 035 $a(PPN)284145378 035 $a(CKB)29352685000041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31015645 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31015645 035 $a(OCoLC)1415888917 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-42883-8 035 $a(EXLCZ)9929352685000041 100 $a20231212d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSub-Saharan Political Cultures of Deceit in Language, Literature, and the Media, Volume II $eAcross National Contexts /$fedited by Esther Mavengano, Isaac Mhute 205 $a1st ed. 2023. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2023. 215 $a1 online resource (435 pages) 311 08$a9783031428821 327 $a1.

Gift Mwonzora. 330 $aThis two-volume set charts a cross-disciplinary discursive terrain that proffers rich insights about deceit in contemporary postcolonial Sub-Saharan African politics. In an attempt to produce a nuanced and multifaceted academic dialoguing platform, the two volumes have a particular focus on the aspects of treachery, fear of difference (oppositional politics), and discourses/semiotics of mis/self-representation. The major aim of the proposed volumes is to contribute toward the often problematized conversations about the unfolding (post)colonial Sub-Saharan world which is topical in decolonial and Pan-African studies. The volumes seek to place political thinking and postcolonial political systems under the scholarly gaze with the view to highlight and enhance the participation of African cross-disciplinary scholarship in the postcolonial political processes of the continent. Most significantly, it is through such probing of the limitations of our own disciplinary perspectives which can help us appreciate the complexity of the postcolonial Sub-Saharan African politics. The first volume uses Zimbabwe as a case study, while the second volume examines postcolonial politics in Sub-Saharan Africa more broadly.
