TLDR

Toward a Multilingual Composition Scholarship: From English Only to a Translingual Norm
TL;DR: The authors argue for adopting a translingual approach to languages, disciplines, localities, and research traditions in composition scholarship, and propose ways individuals, journals, conferences, and graduate programs might advance composition scholarship toward a trans-lingual norm.

Managing linguistic incompetence as a delicate issue in aphasic talk-in-interaction: On the use of laughter in prolonged repair sequences
Abstract: While problems of understandability have been well documented as one consequence of aphasia in talk-in-interaction, the fact that the linguistic limitations associated with aphasia can lead to a speaker producing displays of linguistic incompetence which are treated as delicate and potentially embarrassing has been less investigated. In this paper two methods by which aphasic speakers can be seen to treat their displays of incompetence as delicate are analysed. Both involve treating the non-competence as laughable and are produced within self-initiated repair sequences at a point where the speaker has failed to produce a self-repair despite a prolonged attempt which has markedly delayed the ongoing progressivity of the turn. One method involves the aphasic speaker producing laughter which alone or with a verbal account marks his/her self-repair attempt at that point as having failed. In response, the conversation partners recurrently do not respond to this laughter with laughter of their own. The second method involves the aphasic speaker producing a ‘humorous noticing’ of a repair try which has been produced as an error. In response to these humorous noticings conversation partners regularly laugh. These methods of managing delicate displays of linguistic incompetence are discussed, along with some methods of turn construction used by aphasic speakers which result in such displays of linguistic incompetence being less likely to occur.

Conversation Analysis in Applied Linguistics
Gabriele Kasper,Johannes Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: For the last decade, conversation analysis (CA) has increasingly contributed to several established fields in applied linguistics as discussed by the authors, and the field has expanded its scope from the analysis of phone calls to an integration of language with other semiotic resources for embodied action, including space and objects.

Aspects of the Theory of Syntax
TL;DR: Generative grammars as theories of linguistic competence as discussed by the authors have been used as a theory of performance for language learning. But they have not yet been applied to the problem of language modeling.

Opening up closings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present some of the ways that have been developed for dealing with closings in conversation, and they make an attempt to specify the domain for which the closing problems as they have been posed seem apposite.
