TL;DR: It is shown that power relations are created within an interview situation and therefore it is important to be aware of dominant perspectives and to reflect on the power relations can lead to other forms of understanding of the interviewee.
Abstract: This paper presents methodological reflections on power sharing and shifts of power in various interview situations. Narratives are said to be shaped by our attempts to position ourselves within social and cultural circumstances. In an interview situation, power can be seen as something that is created and that shifts between the interviewer and the interviewed. Reflexivity is involved when we as interviewers attempt to look at a situation or a concept from various perspectives. A modified form of discourse analysis inspired by subject positioning was used to reflect on power relations in four different interview situations. The analyses indicate that reflection on the power relations can lead to other forms of understanding of the interviewee. The main conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that power relations are created within an interview situation and therefore it is important to be aware of dominant perspectives. Researchers and nurses face the challenge of constantly raising their level of consciousness about power relationships, and discursive reflexivity is one way of doing this. Thus, reflexivity is an important part of the qualitative research process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the point focal d'un tel essai devrait se concentrer sur la communication intermodale emotive, i.e., confidence, femotion positive, negative, and tinteret ou participation.
Abstract: Un essai ayant pour base Tinaäequation dans Tetude de la politesse a longtemps manque en linguistique. Le point focal d'un tel essai, nous suggerons, devrait se concentrer sur la communication intermodale emotive. Trois dimensions emotives des rapports dans la conversation sont importantes en ce qui concerne la politesse: la confidence, Femotion positive—negative, et Tinteret ou la participation. Dans la conversation face-ä-face ces dimensions sont indiquees par des signes verbaux, vocaux et kinesiques. La täche emotive principale d'un interlocuteur qui souhaite eviter des incomprehensions interpersonnelles, nous maintenons, ne doit pas etre poli dans le sens traditionnel, mais doit etre supportif. Cela se .fait par Signalement d'acceptation intermodale du besoin d'autonomie personnelle et d'approbation interpersonnelle de son partenaire.

TL;DR: This paper examined the way making complaints about the neighbors and denying responsibility for disputes systematically bring into play categorizations of those involved, drawing on a corpus of British conversational materials including telephone calls to neighbor mediation centers and police interrogations of suspects.
Abstract: Abstract This paper examines the way making complaints about the neighbors and denying responsibility for disputes systematically bring into play categorizations of those involved. It draws on a corpus of British conversational materials including telephone calls to neighbor mediation centers and police interrogations of suspects. The analytic approach was conversation analytic: sequences of talk in which membership categories (e.g., “old man,” “kids”) and category-implicative descriptions (e.g., “she's eighty three,” “Mum's elderly”) appeared were analyzed for their sequential placement, design, and action orientation. Two sections of analysis examine the use of categories in (i) formulating and affiliating with complaints, and (ii) denying alleged complainables. The paper presents a challenge to those who argue that “identity” topics are not systematically “capturable” outside of research interviews or as regularly occurring phenomena of talk-in-interaction, by showing how the same categories and categorial descriptions crop up in the same conversational turns, accomplishing the same social action.

TL;DR: Data suggest that clinician competence to a certain extent is modeled by the discourse analysis, and a model of listener interaction with text was pursued whereby constituent statements of discourse are organized on interpretation into hierarchal structures according to their mutual presupposition relationships.
