Focusing on the community of practice that developed during the witch trials in Salem (Massachusetts) in 1692-1693, it showcases how witnesses and the recorders of their ca. 450 depositions deployed linguistic features to signal the evaluation of experiences with alleged witchcraft, the intensification of those experiences, and the sources of the witnesses' knowledge. The resulting stance profiles for groups of depositions, witnesses, and recorders highlight varying strategies of claiming, supporting, and boosting the importance of the evidence and the role of the witnesses within the community of practice. With its innovative focus on sociopragmatic variation in a historical community, the book demonstrates the essential contribution of synchronic-historical research to the analysis, description, and theorization of stance and historical English more broadly"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English language $x Social aspects $z Salem. $z Salem. 650 0 $a English language $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x Discourse analysis. 650 0 $a Evaluative (Linguistics) 650 0 $a Pragmatics. 650 0 $a Historical linguistics. 650 0 $a Trials (Witchcraft) $z Salem. $z Salem. 650 6 $a Anglais (Langue) $y 1500-1700 (Moderne) $x Analyse du discours. 650 6 $a Pragmatique. 650 6 $a Linguistique historique. 650 6 $a Proces (Sorcellerie) $z Salem. $z Salem. 650 7 $a pragmatics. $2 aat 650 7 $a historical linguistics. $2 aat 650 7 $a English language $x Discourse analysis. $x Discourse analysis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01711226 650 7 $a English language $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911649 650 7 $a Evaluative (Linguistics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02021919 650 7 $a Historical linguistics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958134 650 7 $a Pragmatics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074579 650 7 $a Trials (Witchcraft) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156425 651 7 $a Massachusetts $z Salem. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205839 776 08 $i Online version: $a Grund, Peter. $t Sociopragmatics of stance $d Amsterdam ; Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Company, [2021] $z 9789027258236 $w (DLC) 2021041985 830 0 $a Pragmatics & beyond ; $v new ser., 329. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217012032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1DAFD234BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
