@article{Archer_2020, title={Understanding questions and answers in context: An argument for multi-channel analysis}, volume={11}, url={https://tidsskrift.dk/sss/article/view/121367}, DOI={10.7146/sss.v11i1.121367}, abstractNote={<p>Currently, understanding what questions and answers mean in context equates to accounting for the questioner’s role as well as what they expect to (versus) achieve, the position as well as form/function of their question(s) within the interaction: and, if spoken, their delivery, as well as whether a response is given, what type, how, etc. This paper advocates for a further widening of the linguistic analytical lens beyond traditional syntactic/pragmatic criteria so that we might account, in turn, for participants’ facial expressions, body movements and gestures as they deliver their questions and/or respond to others. The paper argues this is particularly pertinent when negotiating meaning generally and crucial when seeking to understand potentially deceptive and/or evasive moves on the part of participants. </p>}, number={1}, journal={Scandinavian Studies in Language}, author={Archer, Dawn}, year={2020}, month={Jul.}, pages={196–213} }
