This book examines the linguistic and interactional mechanisms through which people bond or feel bonded with one another by analyzing situated discourse in Japanese contexts. The term “bonding” points to the sense of co-presence, belonging, and alignment with others as well as with the space of interaction. We analyze bonding as established, not only through the usage of language as a foregrounded code, but also through multi-layered contexts shared on the interactional, corporeal, and socio-cultural levels. The volume comprises twelve chapters examining the processes of bonding (and un-bonding) using situated discourse taken from rich ethnographic data including police suspect interrogations, Skype-mediated family conversations, theatrical rehearsals, storytelling, business email correspondence and advertisements. While the book focuses on processes of bonding in Japanese discourse, the concept of bonding can be applied universally in analyzing the co-creation of semiotic, pragmatic, and communal space in situated discourse.

No man is an island which explains the significance of this book looking into social bonding. Both enlightening and enthralling, this collection can be credited as a trailblazer in exploring bonding in situated discourse. And it's safe to say that it is bound to appeal to scholars from linguistic, ethnographic, semiotic, sociological fields, communication studies and beyond.

In this paper I will examine a series of police interrogations in which various “bonding” strategies – typically linguistic “modality” and “person reference” in Japanese – are employed. The prosecution process in Japan is notorious for unduly allowing the police to extend the detention period while various types of ploys and threats can be attempted to make a suspect to confess to the accused crime. Although such “bonding” between a suspect and the police may sound like a misleading characterization, one can expect to find comparable features to what we typically observe in “bonded” relationships. I will examine how the bond between a suspect and interrogators, established in an inhumane environment called <i>daiyō-kangoku</i> ‘police detention cell,’ can be modified in the interrogation process.

Scholarship on oral narrative has drawn attention to how narrators position themselves both as characters within the narrative and as narrators in relation to an audience. This chapter examines how reported thought is used in Japanese narratives to shift frames between a narrating voice (anchored in the current situation) and a narrated voice (anchored within the story world). Functions of reported thought include: drawing contrasts between what was thought and what was (not) said; creation of a vivid, emotional narrative through the enactment of inner speech; and allowing speakers to perform speech acts while partially escaping responsibility for their illocutionary force. Reported thought allows narrators to momentarily shift footing without challenging genre conventions or established social roles and relationships.

In this chapter, we analyze Japanese women’s narratives about their child-rearing experiences to reveal the meta-level of positioning of their husbands’ involvement through examining the use and non-use of benefactive verb forms. We pose the grammatical form of benefactive, especially the -<i>te kureru</i> form, as a center of meaning making wherein the ideologies of husband and wife bonding are negotiated and enacted in the situated context of interviews. Analyzing the narratives of women in three different groups (i.e., housewives, dual-income working women, and farmer women) in Japan, we demonstrate how the use and the non-use of -<i>te kureru</i> benefactive differently indexes husband and wife bonding in childrearing, while reflecting and reproducing contrasting ideologies regarding gender relations within the family.

Based on naturally-occurring conversations and interview narratives collected on Ishigaki Island in Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture, this chapter presents instances of “bonded but un-bonded” experience. Drawing on the notion of discordance (Takekuro 2018), the chapter will bring unexpressed conflicts into sharp focus. Through participants’ comments that suggest that they were not as bonded as it seemed in their interaction, I will show that aspects of bonding and un-bonding (defined as a lack of or the opposites of bonding) are intertwined in social life. Exploring the resulting ambiguity of the two aspects, I attempt to emphasize the importance of ethnographic research and of incorporating the opposites of bonding in considering how bonds are created and maintained.

This chapter is concerned with the act of “bonding” in intercultural encounters. Drawing on a sociocognitive theory of context, I analyze interactions taken from my fieldwork in the United States and research interviews in New Zealand. Against the dominant trend of antimentalism in linguistic anthropology, I focus on common ground (CG) as a cognitive context in interaction. Analytically, I attend to face strategies and relationship implicative actions. My point is argue that the notion of CG needs to be refined and extended by taking into account ideological components. For further empirical studies, I suggest that we should specify what kinds of ideologies are integrated into components of common ground and explore how we can create bonding between participants with conflicting ideologies across national boundaries. Implications for linguistic anthropology are also discussed from an evolutionary perspective.

This paper focuses on how immigrant Japanese women living in London categorise themselves in interviews conducted yearly from 2016 to 2019. Through analyses of participants’ personal narratives as immigrants and their relationships with their husbands’ relatives, I investigate (a) how they position themselves in the post-referendum social order; (b) how their positioning has changed over the three-year period; and (c) how their positioning is negotiated with other participants during the course of a group interview. My analysis shows how two kinds of bonding phenomena emerge during interactions. The first, <i>social bonding</i>, is a discursive, ideological practice to connect the self to social groups, whereas the second, <i>interactional bonding</i>, refers to communicative developments participants create.

In this chapter, I discuss how the sense of familial bonding emerges in webcam-mediated interactions between Japanese families in Japan and the United States. I argue that a close relationship between participants who rarely meet in person is an interactional achievement. My analytical foci are twofold. First, I analyze how participants repeat each other’s utterances and bodily movements such as hand gestures and facial expressions. Through what I call ‘mediated repetitions’, participants share understanding and encourage the virtual participants’ involvement in locally unfolding interaction frames. Second, I investigate how the organization of talk becomes relevant as participants maneuver webcams. I argue that the interactional efforts of coordinating repetitions and converting webcam capabilities into new interactional modalities contribute to the creation of a sense of bonding across geographical boundaries.

In the present study, I examine the interaction of one pair of participants (a first and second language speaker of Japanese), which is part of a larger corpus of dyadic initial interactional data gathered by video recording pairs of participants asked to participate in a topical discussion task. Bringing to bear on these data a microethnographic methodology, I show some of the functions of laughter deployed by the participants. In particular, the findings of the analyses indicate that, in my data, laughter was used both to indicate the frame or tenor of the interaction, to display an orientation to and interactionally co-constitute a moral order, and to negotiate and coordinate joint participation in a next course of action.

The process of embodying a theatrical script for organizing the performance of an interaction among fictional characters and displaying interactional bonds on stage depends on the way the participants (the director and the actors) <i>interpret</i> the script. Interpreting the script means for them that each line of the script becomes an underlying pattern to which extra elements (embodied behaviors, broader contextual elements) can be connected in order to build the multimodal performances of interactional bonds. In this paper I focus on how participants build two different interpretations of the same segment of the script, building two kinds of interactional bonds among addressed and un-addressed recipients. The goal of this paper is to understand how the actors <i>embody the script</i> and <i>create the performance of interactional bonds</i> by relying on the script as an underlying pattern.

This paper compares indexical expressions utilized in English and Japanese email discourse from book companies in the United States and Japan in order to highlight their referential functions and underscore their pedagogical importance. These deictics also serve a marketing purpose by constituting a bond between company and customer and encouraging further patronage. English emails adopt a relatively casual stance, with positive politeness markers such as bare imperatives functioning to invite future customer engagement. Pronominal reference also predominates, whereas in Japanese, recurring combinations of nominal forms with polite prefixes and honorific or humble polite predicates enable a company to express appreciation for a customer’s patronage, acknowledge benefits received, and indirectly index a deferent stance consonant with customer expectations for online vendors.

Regarding interactional dialogic engagements as “bonding,” this article examines the dialogic process whereby <i>playful neologism</i> emerges as a product of the intersubjective act of play framing and playful <i>stancetaking</i> in Japanese conversations. Special attention is paid to <i>intertextuality</i> based on Bakhtinian notion of dialogism, which affords speech participants to create stances and utterances that <i>resonate</i> with the stances and utterances of the prior text, and transform them into something innovative, particular, and socioculturally meaningful in the present text. I will argue that, in addition to language form and meaning, speaker agency as instantiated in creativity and cooperation in naming, is also coordinated and shaped through conversational play.

Intertextuality, particularly word play, is a common feature of Japanese advertising. This article argues that intertextuality is a mechanism for accomplishing the ultimate goal of marketers – to bond with consumers. Reference to texts that consumers know creates an insider narrative space; consumers share this space by virtue of being “in on” the reference. Intertextual references are accompanied by additional text and visual signs (colors, natural phenomena associated with the seasons) that amplify and diffuse the message. Ultimately, the marketer’s world merges with the consumer’s through the medium of advertising.

Based on naturally-occurring conversations and interview narratives collected on Ishigaki Island in Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture, this chapter presents instances of “bonded but un-bonded” experience. Drawing on the notion of discordance (Takekuro 2018), the chapter will bring unexpressed conflicts into sharp focus. Through participants’ comments that suggest that they were not as bonded as it seemed in their interaction, I will show that aspects of bonding and un-bonding (defined as a lack of or the opposites of bonding) are intertwined in social life. Exploring the resulting ambiguity of the two aspects, I attempt to emphasize the importance of ethnographic research and of incorporating the opposites of bonding in considering how bonds are created and maintained.

This chapter is concerned with the act of “bonding” in intercultural encounters. Drawing on a sociocognitive theory of context, I analyze interactions taken from my fieldwork in the United States and research interviews in New Zealand. Against the dominant trend of antimentalism in linguistic anthropology, I focus on common ground (CG) as a cognitive context in interaction. Analytically, I attend to face strategies and relationship implicative actions. My point is argue that the notion of CG needs to be refined and extended by taking into account ideological components. For further empirical studies, I suggest that we should specify what kinds of ideologies are integrated into components of common ground and explore how we can create bonding between participants with conflicting ideologies across national boundaries. Implications for linguistic anthropology are also discussed from an evolutionary perspective.

This paper focuses on how immigrant Japanese women living in London categorise themselves in interviews conducted yearly from 2016 to 2019. Through analyses of participants’ personal narratives as immigrants and their relationships with their husbands’ relatives, I investigate (a) how they position themselves in the post-referendum social order; (b) how their positioning has changed over the three-year period; and (c) how their positioning is negotiated with other participants during the course of a group interview. My analysis shows how two kinds of bonding phenomena emerge during interactions. The first, <i>social bonding</i>, is a discursive, ideological practice to connect the self to social groups, whereas the second, <i>interactional bonding</i>, refers to communicative developments participants create.

In this chapter, I discuss how the sense of familial bonding emerges in webcam-mediated interactions between Japanese families in Japan and the United States. I argue that a close relationship between participants who rarely meet in person is an interactional achievement. My analytical foci are twofold. First, I analyze how participants repeat each other’s utterances and bodily movements such as hand gestures and facial expressions. Through what I call ‘mediated repetitions’, participants share understanding and encourage the virtual participants’ involvement in locally unfolding interaction frames. Second, I investigate how the organization of talk becomes relevant as participants maneuver webcams. I argue that the interactional efforts of coordinating repetitions and converting webcam capabilities into new interactional modalities contribute to the creation of a sense of bonding across geographical boundaries.

In the present study, I examine the interaction of one pair of participants (a first and second language speaker of Japanese), which is part of a larger corpus of dyadic initial interactional data gathered by video recording pairs of participants asked to participate in a topical discussion task. Bringing to bear on these data a microethnographic methodology, I show some of the functions of laughter deployed by the participants. In particular, the findings of the analyses indicate that, in my data, laughter was used both to indicate the frame or tenor of the interaction, to display an orientation to and interactionally co-constitute a moral order, and to negotiate and coordinate joint participation in a next course of action.

The process of embodying a theatrical script for organizing the performance of an interaction among fictional characters and displaying interactional bonds on stage depends on the way the participants (the director and the actors) <i>interpret</i> the script. Interpreting the script means for them that each line of the script becomes an underlying pattern to which extra elements (embodied behaviors, broader contextual elements) can be connected in order to build the multimodal performances of interactional bonds. In this paper I focus on how participants build two different interpretations of the same segment of the script, building two kinds of interactional bonds among addressed and un-addressed recipients. The goal of this paper is to understand how the actors <i>embody the script</i> and <i>create the performance of interactional bonds</i> by relying on the script as an underlying pattern.

This paper compares indexical expressions utilized in English and Japanese email discourse from book companies in the United States and Japan in order to highlight their referential functions and underscore their pedagogical importance. These deictics also serve a marketing purpose by constituting a bond between company and customer and encouraging further patronage. English emails adopt a relatively casual stance, with positive politeness markers such as bare imperatives functioning to invite future customer engagement. Pronominal reference also predominates, whereas in Japanese, recurring combinations of nominal forms with polite prefixes and honorific or humble polite predicates enable a company to express appreciation for a customer’s patronage, acknowledge benefits received, and indirectly index a deferent stance consonant with customer expectations for online vendors.

Regarding interactional dialogic engagements as “bonding,” this article examines the dialogic process whereby <i>playful neologism</i> emerges as a product of the intersubjective act of play framing and playful <i>stancetaking</i> in Japanese conversations. Special attention is paid to <i>intertextuality</i> based on Bakhtinian notion of dialogism, which affords speech participants to create stances and utterances that <i>resonate</i> with the stances and utterances of the prior text, and transform them into something innovative, particular, and socioculturally meaningful in the present text. I will argue that, in addition to language form and meaning, speaker agency as instantiated in creativity and cooperation in naming, is also coordinated and shaped through conversational play.

Intertextuality, particularly word play, is a common feature of Japanese advertising. This article argues that intertextuality is a mechanism for accomplishing the ultimate goal of marketers – to bond with consumers. Reference to texts that consumers know creates an insider narrative space; consumers share this space by virtue of being “in on” the reference. Intertextual references are accompanied by additional text and visual signs (colors, natural phenomena associated with the seasons) that amplify and diffuse the message. Ultimately, the marketer’s world merges with the consumer’s through the medium of advertising.
