Abstract :

[en] This chapter presents a critical overview of the different - and sometimes conflicting - definitions of intersubjectivity found in the literature. In general terms intersubjectivity concerns the linguistic realization of a speaker’s attention to a hearer. The chapter proposes a typology of subtypes of intersubjective meanings (nl. attitudinal, responsive and textual), based on the kind of hearer-attention or addressee-accommodation they involve. It zooms in on the relationship with subjectivity and (inter)subjectification, and tries to propose a number of formal recognition criteria for this pragmatic-semantic notion.

Brems, L., Ghesquiere L., & Van de Velde, F. (Eds.). (2014). Benjamins Current Topics: Vol. 72. Intersubjectivity and intersubjectification in grammar and discourse: Theoretical and descriptive advances. Amsterdam: John Benjamins. (This volume also includes studies of intersubjectivity within applied linguistics, where notions such as evaluation, stance, appraisal, and metadiscourse can be said to partially overlap with the notion of intersubjectivity. Thompson (2014) for instance is a case study in which two sets of UK newspapers are compared in terms of differences in the intersubjective choices they make when interacting with their respective audiences. Adel (2014) addresses intersubjectivity within English for Academic Purposes and studies the use of the second person pronoun you both in spoken and written academic data and can convincingly argue that it fulfills many discourse functions, and that not all of them can be analyzed as truly intersubjective in the sense of working as an engagement marker.)

Theory versus practice: A closer look at transactional and interpersonal stance in English electronic complaint refusal notifications. English Text Construction, 12(1), 103-136. (This article studies transactional and interpersonal stance in English electronic complaint refusal notifications. Based on a corpus study and an experiment, they study the rhetorical moves and linguistic realizations of complaint negotiations within this specific business genre. The linguistic strategies to mitigate the illocutionary force of this potentially face-threatening speech act are described. The authors do not use the term intersubjectivity, but notions like "interactional justice" and the importance of politeness, respect, and transparency can easily be linked to it.

It includes corpus studies on English, French, Italian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, which mainly confirm the association between the right periphery and intersubjective elements.)
