Applied linguistics has come of age in Latin America and is currently in a state of great activity. This AILA Review volume is testimony of this development and does honor to the robust tradition of critical thinking in Latin America. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/aila.18.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027239907.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027239907.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/aila.18.pb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/aila.18.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/aila.18.pb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/aila.18.pb.png 10 01 JB code aila.18.01art Section header 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Articles</TitleText> 10 01 JB code aila.18.02raj 1 2 2 Article 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Introduction</TitleText> 1 A01 Kanavillil Rajagopalan Rajagopalan, Kanavillil Kanavillil Rajagopalan State University at Campinas (UNICAMP), Campinas, Brazil 10 01 JB code aila.18.03bol 3 17 15 Article 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Dialogue and confrontation in Venezuelan political interaction</TitleText> 1 A01 Adriana Bolívar Bolívar, Adriana Adriana Bolívar Universidad Central de Venezuela 01 This paper focuses on political change in Venezuela from a critical discourse analysis perspective that emphasizes the roles of the participants in the interaction to show how, with their actions, they are affected and affect others. An interactional approach based on Firth’s categories of context (Firth, 1951) and conversational analysis is used (Bolívar, 1986, 1994a, 1994b). The interaction is studied at a global level first in order to identify the actors responsible for political change in the social dynamics, and then particular events are examined in more detail. The aim is to describe how, in ongoing interaction, the political dialogue after 1998 moved from a formal democratic one to a violent confrontation between two major groups. The article focuses on political events before and after April 11th 2002, which marked a turning point in Venezuelan history. The corpus includes national newspapers, presidential speeches, the program Aló Presidente, slogans, graffiti, and insults recalled by women and men. The results show how verbal aggression and physical violence affect and weaken democratic dialogue and, consequently, the possibility of cooperation and understanding. The discussion highlights the need to strengthen critical language awareness in order to promote peace language rather than hate language. 10 01 JB code aila.18.04cur 18 40 23 Article 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Code switching and identity in the discourse of Catalan immigrants in Mexico</TitleText> 1 A01 Carmen Curcó Curcó, Carmen Carmen Curcó National Autonomous University of Mexico 01 This paper analyzes patterns of code switching found in a small group of first and second generation Catalan immigrants in Mexico, and is part of a wider study on the impact of exile upon the construction of identity in the discourse of political immigrants in Latin America. With regard to the pragmatic exploitation of code switching, it argues that code switching is used by bilinguals even when a monolingual alternative is available, either because changing languages at a specific point in conversation reduces the processing effort involved in interpreting the stretch of discourse where the switch occurs, or because the shift of code adds cognitive effects to the overall interpretation of the message. The paper focuses on the effects of <i>ad hoc</i> concept construction, — a well studied phenomenon in monolingual discourse — on the presentation of self in bilingual discourse, analyzing cases when the pragmatically derived <i>ad hoc</i> concept involves a switch of codes. It is argued that this mechanism helps subjects represent themselves in bilingual conversation as distinct both from Mexicans and from non expatriate Catalans. 10 01 JB code aila.18.05cel 41 57 17 Article 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Critical thinking in reflective sessions and in online interactions</TitleText> 1 A01 Maria Antonieta Alba Celani Celani, Maria Antonieta Alba Maria Antonieta Alba Celani Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo 2 A01 Heloisa Collins Collins, Heloisa Heloisa Collins 01 This paper focuses on online educational sessions of a continuing teacher education programme. The aim of this programme is to give a contribution to the continuing education of teachers of English as critical professionals, aware of discursive classroom practices, able to analyze them in the light of objectives to be reached and knowledge to be constructed. The paper gives a detailed account of how teachers deal with central issues in face to face reflective sessions and online interactive discussions and shows the results of a pilot intervention aiming at helping teachers develop more reflective and critical perspectives. 10 01 JB code aila.18.06tel 58 75 18 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Telling stories in two psychiatric interviews</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A discussion on frame and narrative</Subtitle> 1 A01 Branca Telles Ribeiro Telles Ribeiro, Branca Branca Telles Ribeiro Federal University of Rio de Janeiro 2 A01 Liliana Cabral Bastos Bastos, Liliana Cabral Liliana Cabral Bastos Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro 01 This study investigates contextualization processes in two psychiatric interviews. Specifically, it analyses how different analytical tools — frame and narrative — work to clarify contextual embeddings and story bits. Frame analysis provides a way of looking at local and larger social contexts in talk. Specifically it provides a way of understanding “what’s going on here?” (Goffman 1974). Narrativee analysis provides a way of understanding the relation of major topics and themes in an interview situation. Most of all, the unfolding of a key story has implications for understanding who the patient is and what experience she values most in that encounter. <br /> Frame and narrative also work to evidence what makes these interactions such a complex speech event. From a frame perspective, context may present multiple and unexpected frame embeddings. In the development of a story, key organizational components (for example, an orientation section) may display fragmented information or be absent. Frame and narrative address different questions and may clarify different social and linguistic processes at play in the interview situation. 10 01 JB code aila.18.07raj 76 93 18 Article 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Language politics in Latin America</TitleText> 1 A01 Kanavillil Rajagopalan Rajagopalan, Kanavillil Kanavillil Rajagopalan State University at Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil 01 This paper is an attempt to take stock of the politics of language as it has been playing out in Latin America, ever since the countries in this region were colonized by European powers, mainly Spain and Portugal. Linguistic imperialism is by no means a new phenomenon in this part of the world. In more recent times, the relentless advance of English as the world’s leading lingua franca has only brought to light the difficult North–South relations that have underpinned the geopolitics of the region. 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20060309 2005 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 01 240 mm 02 160 mm 08 185 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 1 25 01 02 JB 1 00 80.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 84.80 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 25 02 02 JB 1 00 67.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 25 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 120.00 USD
