Rémi A. van Compernolle – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
This article presents the use of conversation analysis (CA) in the context of sociocultural theory (SCT) driven research on L2 development, or CA-for-SCT. I focus specifically on the CA concept of action ascription as it applies to understanding the nature of mediation in interaction. I begin with an overview of the concept of action ascription…

Helen Hint; Helena Lemendik; Christer Johansson; Djuddah A. J. Leijen – Written Communication, 2025
This article presents the development of a specialized data set for analyzing Estonian metadiscourse markers in academic usage, extending Hyland's interpersonal metadiscourse model to a non-Indo-European language. Our goal is to show how metadiscourse, as a feature of a writing tradition, can reveal aspects of writing in languages other than…

I argue that the variation within and across contexts detailed by Shin & Miller is indicative of a broader phenomenon in which morphosyntax and the discourse context are intertwined, including elements like perspective, discourse relations, information structure, and common ground.

Kazem Lotfipoursaedi – Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, 2025
Study of language, like any other discipline, has naturally been developing ever since its inception.

Carol A. Ready – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2025
In my research I examine the linguistic practices of Moroccans in Spain, many of whom speak Moroccan Arabic as well as Modern Standard Arabic, Tamazight, French, English and Spanish at varying levels of proficiency. As part of my research, I conducted a 10-month linguistic ethnography. I was able to rely on my native English and near-native…

Napasri Timyam – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2024
