Epistemic Stance in Dialogue: Knowing, Unknowing, Believing
English
By (author): Andrzej Zuczkowski Ilaria Riccioni Ramona Bongelli
This volume presents a theoretical and practical model for analysing epistemic stance in dialogues, i.e. the positions both epistemic (commitment) and evidential (source of information) which speakers take in the here and now of communication with regard to the information they are conveying and which they express through lexical and morphosyntactic means.
According to the results of our studies of different types of corpora, these positions can be reduced to three basic ones: Knowing, Unknowing, Believing (KUB).
In the first part of the book, we present the KUB model and its psychological and linguistic backgrounds. In the second part, we provide an exemplary application of the model, by presenting the qualitative and quantitative analysis of dialogues belonging to different genres and contexts.
The volume is addressed to scholars concerned with the topical issues from a theoretical and analytical perspective.
