Dialogical Linguistics: Key Assumptions and Their Implications

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8921.2021.03.006

Abstract

Abstract:

Dialogical analysis is one of the hot issues in current linguistic studies. So far, the theories or paradigms in research on language and cognition have not been well investigated and reviewed from a dialogic view. Based on the discussion about the connotation of dialogue and summarizing the core ideas of Dialogical Linguistics, this paper analyzes the view of dialogic interaction in Interactional Linguistics and the cognitive-functional theories on dialogues, including Dialogic Syntax, Interactional Construction Grammar and Dialogic Construction Grammar. This study, also based on the discussion of the construal model for dialogic interaction, claims that the dialogic turn in studies on language and cognition is emergent, with an expectation to promote the application and thus the progress of dialogical linguistic research in studies on natural languages.
