· A lot of codewords are used by police that are generational; they are often colloquial and not ‘PC’ ranging from stabby (a protection vest) to BINGO seat (“Bollocks I’m not getting out” seat – the back seat)

· Drew and Heritage (drawing on Levinson 1992) propose that: 
   1. Institutional interaction involves an orientation by at least one of the participants to some core goal, task or identity (or set of them) conventionally associated with the institution in question. In short, institutional talk is normally informed by goal orientations of a relatively restricted conventional form. 
   2. Institutional interaction may often involve special and particular constraints on what one or both of the participants will treat as allowable contributions to the business at hand. 
   3. Institutional talk may be associated with inferential frameworks and procedures that are particular to specific institutional contexts.

IR: James. I have to inform you that this interview is being tape recorded. all right mate?=
IE: =yep.
IR: now I called you James, do you- are you happy being called James or do you (-) 
IE: any, i[t-] don‘t really matter.
IR: [no] =yeah okay so (.) you‘re happy with [James] not Tommo. 
IE: [yeah] yep. 
IR: okay mate. {clears throat} right. (-) Let me introduce myself, my name‘s John David Green, Detective Constable 123. and I‘m stationed at {small police station in suburb of mid-size city} in the CID department. can you give me your name,= 
IE: =It‘s James Steven Thompson. 

“Here the IR repeatedly addresses the IE by name, displaying knowledge of both his first and surnames. Indeed the IE‘s name is the topic of discussion for several turns. Yet after this, the IR asks the IE to give him his name . It is clear that the IR does not need this information himself, and hence that it is being elicited for the purposes of other audiences for this talk. It is interesting to note that the IE does not question this, but gives his name in full. This is possibly an indication of the IE‘s own awareness of the institutional requirements of the context, but equally it could be a response to the very formal and full terms in which the IE introduces himself."

    The threatening message may succeed in coercing the police to submit; its power, however, is more apparent than real because it is based on the guns gangsters posses. The message merely reveals the power of a weapon in their possession.

    Apart from revealing power, the gangsters may also cheat. As long as the message comes across as credible and convincing enough to arouse overwhelming fear, it would allow them to get away with their demands without actually possessing any weapon.

    In this case, language is used to produce an intended effect despite resistance by deceptively revealing a non existing power base and planting it in the mind of the message recipient.

    The literature on linguistic deception illustrates the widespread deceptive use of language-reveals-power to produce intended effects despite resistance (Robinson, 1996).]]>     2020-02-03 12:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/occ2/wish/439575208     Doctors https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/occ2/wish/439575256 Doctors have their own sociolect and do this to vent to one and other ]]> 2020-02-03 12:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/occ2/wish/439575256 Teacher Acronyms https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/occ2/wish/439575383 ALP-Adult Literacy
