  In Norwegian, unlike English, negative interrogatives are commonly used as requests for action. In addition, the negation adverb ikke can be placed either before or after a pronominal subject. The study explores pragmatic differences between these two request formats, using everyday conversations from the TV series Big Brother as corpus data. We argue that the difference concerns the contingencies faced by the speaker in gaining compliance. The format with preposed negation (Kan ikke jeg/du X? - ‘Can't I/you X?’) requests confirmation of the assumption that the interlocutor can and will do the requested action and that any obstacles to gaining compliance are merely hypothetical. The format with postposed negation (Kan jeg/du ikke X? - ‘Can I/you not X?’), on the other hand, is used when there are contextually manifest obstacles and the speaker seeks to gain compliance in spite of them. Interrogatives with preposed negation take advantage of premises conducive to having action performed and are used to prevent refusal, while those with postposed negation are employed to combat the obstacles and win compliance.

  In this article, we explore the naming skills of a bilingual English- Norwegian speaker diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia, in each of his languages across three different speech contexts: confrontation naming, semi-spontaneous narrative (picture description), and conversation, and at two points in time: 12 and 30 months post diagnosis, respectively. The results are discussed in light of two main theories of lexical retrieval in healthy, elderly speakers: the Transmission Deficit Hypothesis and the Inhibitory Deficit Theory. Our data show that, consistent with the participant’s premorbid use of and proficiency in the two languages, his performance in his L2 is lower than in his L1, but this difference diminishes as the disease progresses. This is the case across the three speech contexts; however, the difference is smaller in the narrative task, where his performance is very low in both languages already at the first measurement point. Despite his word finding problems, he is able to take active part in conversation, particularly in his L1 and more so at the first measurement point. In addition to the task effect, we find effects of word class, frequency, and cognateness on his naming skills. His performance seems to support the Transmission Deficit Hypothesis. By combining different tools and methods of analysis, we get a more comprehensive picture of the impact of the dementia on the speaker’s languages from an intra-individual as well as an inter-individual perspective, which may be useful in research as well as in clinical practice.

  This study shows how multi-unit turns may be designed to facilitate incremental establishment of intersubjectivity in cases where understanding is at risk. In addressing L2 speakers, L1 speakers decompose their multi-unit turns into smaller units and present them one at a time, in “installments.” They leave a pause between each installment, thereby inviting the recipient to provide acknowledgments along the way, or alternatively, to initiate repair at an early stage. The practice may be used preemptively, to prevent potential problems of understanding from arising, or in response to an indication of an understanding problem by the recipient.

  The article describes a conversational practice used by L2 speakers in acquiring new technical terms in the course of everyday workplace interaction on a construction site. In the process of searching for a word, the speaker identifies a referent by embodied means and asks the L1 interlocutor what it is called in Norwegian. When the term is provided, it is repeated, often with emphatic prosody, displaying the L2 speaker’s identification of the word and ability to pronounce it. This repeat is treated as a request for confirmation by the L1 speaker, who often also provides further repeats of the word in question. By expanding the word search sequence beyond the identification of the word searched for, the participants show an orientation to the word as a learnable, that is, as something to be memorized and rehearsed in the conversation. The activity of teaching and learning technical vocabulary is thus treated as a relevant activity in and of itself, at the expense of the progression of the workplace task at hand.

  Eliciting patients' values and treatment preferences is an essential element in models of shared decision making, yet few studies have investigated the interactional realizations of how physicians do this in authentic encounters. Drawing on video-recorded encounters from Norwegian secondary care, the present study uses the fine-grained empirical methodology of conversation analysis (CA) to identify one conversational practice physicians use, namely, formulations of patients' stance, in which physicians summarize or paraphrase their understanding of the patient's stance towards treatment. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to explore what objectives formulations of patients' stance achieve while negotiating treatment and (2) to discuss these objectives in relation to core requirements in shared decision making. Our analysis demonstrates that formulating the patient's stance is a practice physicians use in order to elicit, check, and establish patients' attitudes towards treatment. This practice is in line with general recommendations for making shared decisions, such as exploring and checking patients' preferences and values. However, the formulations may function as a device for doing more than merely checking and establishing common ground and bringing up patients' preferences and views: Accompanied by subtle deprecating expressions, they work to delegitimize the patients' stances and indirectly convey the physicians' opposing stance. Once established, these positions can be used as a basis for challenging and potentially altering the patient's attitude towards the decision, thereby making it more congruent with the physician's view. Therefore, in addition to bringing up patients' views towards treatment, we argue that physicians may use formulations of patients' stance as a resource for directing the patient towards decisions that are congruent with the physician's stance in situations with potential disagreement, whilst (ostensibly) avoiding a more authoritarian or paternalistic approach.

  Partilederutspørringer under valgkamp er en viktig kilde til informasjon om partier og programmer for norske borgere. Hva slags type informasjon som kommer frem, er i stor grad avhengig av interaksjonen mellom journalist og politiker. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi hva slags journalistiske strategier som møtte partilederne på NRK og TV2 i 2013. Materialet består av 17 partilederutspørringer, som er analysert med modeller fra en samtaleanalytisk tradisjon for å beskrive grad av responsstyring og kritisk innstilling. Vi sammenligner våre funn med funn fra lignende studier gjort i 2009 og 2005. Vi finner at partilederne i utspørringene får mange flere åpne spørsmål enn tidligere valgkamper, noe som legger til rette for at politikerne kan formidle sin politikk uten sterk responsstyring. Videre finner vi at partiblokkene forskjellsbehandles av journalistene, men basert på at journalistenes strategi for utspørringene styres av hvorvidt partilederne er i posisjon eller opposisjon, heller enn at de tilhører venstre- eller høyresiden.

  Artikkelen presenterer en analyse av 15-åringers muntlige presentasjoner i klasserommet. Hensikten er å undersøke hvordan elevene uttrykker personlig engasjement i stoffet de formidler, og hvordan de søker å etablere kontakt med tilhørerne. Datamaterialet bygger på videoopptak av muntlige presentasjoner i 9. klasse, og analysen er multimodal. Vi ser på kombinasjonen av verbalspråklige ressurser, kroppslige ressurser (blikk, gester og positur) og materielle ressurser (særlig presentasjonsteknologi). Analysen identifiserer de retorisk vellykkede strategiene i elevenes presentasjoner, og løfter frem gode eksempler fra noen norske klasserom.

  What happens with language – or the languages – in bilinguals with dementia? What aspects of language are affected, and are both languages affected in a similar way? In The MultiLing Dementia Project we will specifically look at word finding problems in bilinguals with Dementia of the Alzheimer Type (DAT), using different methods: In addition to a test battery consisting of a naming test and various cognitive tests as well as a background questionnaire on functional communication skills, we have elicited oral narratives and collected conversational data. In this talk we will present some results from a pilot study with two male bilingual speakers of American English and Norwegian, both 68 years of age, one neurologically healthy and one with a diagnosis of probable DAT. We will demonstrate how the naming abilities are affected by DAT in the two languages, and what strategies can be used both by the person affected and by his interlocutors to compensate for the problems encountered.
