VIETNAMESE FEMALE SPOUSES ’ LANGUAGE USE PATTERNS IN SELF INITIATED Admonishment SEQUENCES IN BILINGUAL TAIWANESE FAMILIES*
2015Co-Authors: Li-fen WangAbstract:Abstract: This paper aims to identify how Taiwanese and Mandarin (the two dominant languages in Taiwan) are used as interactional resources by Vietnamese female spouses in bilingual Taiwanese families. Three Vietnamese-Taiwanese transnational families (a total of seventeen people) participated in the research, and mealtime talks among the Vietnamese wives and their Taiwanese family members were audio-/video-recorded. Conversation analysis (CA) was adopted to analyse the seven hours of data collected. It was found that the Vietnamese participants orient to Taiwanese and Mandarin as salient resources in Admonishment sequences. Specifically, it was identified that the two languages serve as contextualisation cues and framing devices in the Vietnamese participants ’ self-initiated Admonishment sequences

Shaming interrogatives: Admonishments, the social psychology of emotion, and discursive practices of behaviour modification in family mealtimes.
British Journal of Social Psychology, 2020Co-Authors: Jonathan Potter, Alexa HepburnAbstract:This paper contributes to the study of Admonishments, the operation of shaming in family interaction, and more broadly presses the virtue of a discursive psychological reconsideration of the social psychology of emotion. It examines the methodological basis of contemporary research on shame in experimental and qualitative social psychology, illustrated through the Test of Self-Conscious Affect (TOSCA) and qualitative work using shame narratives. Doubts are raised about how these methods can throw light on shaming practices in natural situations. The study uses a collection of video recordings of family mealtimes, focusing on Admonishment sequences in which parents address the interrogatives 'what are you doing' or 'what did I say' to a 'misbehaving' child. Despite the interrogative syntax, rather than soliciting information we show that these interrogative forms pursue behaviour change by publicly highlighting both the problem behaviour and the child's active and intentional production of that behaviour. This is the sense in which the practice can be understood as shaming. Although this practice prosecutes shaming, ways in which the children can ignore, push back, or rework parents' actions are highlighted. This study contributes to a broader consideration of how enduring behavioural change can be approached as a parents' project.

threats power family mealtimes and social influence
British Journal of Social Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Alexa Hepburn, Jonathan PotterAbstract:One of the most basic topics in social psychology is the way one agent influences the behaviour of another. This paper will focus on threats, which are an intensified form of attempted behavioural influence. Despite the centrality to the project of social psychology, little attention has been paid to threats. This paper will start to rectify this oversight. It reviews early examples of the way social psychology handles threats and highlights key limitations and presuppositions about the nature and role of threats. By contrast, we subject them to a programme of empirical research. Data comprise video records of a collection of family mealtimes that include preschool children. Threats are recurrent in this material. A preliminary conceptualization of features of candidate threats from this corpus will be used as an analytic start point. A series of examples are used to explicate basic features and dimensions that build the action of threatening. The basic structure of the threats uses a conditional logic: if the recipient continues problem action/does not initiate required action then negative consequences will be produced by the speaker. Further analysis clarifies how threats differ from warnings and Admonishments. Sequential analysis suggests threats set up basic response options of compliance or defiance. However, recipients of threats can evade these options by, for example, reworking the unpleasant upshot specified in the threat, or producing barely minimal compliance. The implications for broader social psychological concerns are explored in a discussion of power, resistance, and asymmetry; the paper ends by reconsidering the way social influence can be studied in social psychology.

The interactional achievement of familyhood in Vietnamese-Taiwanese international families
Newcastle University, 2013Co-Authors: Wang Li-fenAbstract:Phd ThesisWhile so many studies relating to Vietnamese female spouses in Taiwan have tapped into crucial issues facilitating understanding of this particular social group, none of them deals with face-to-face interaction between Vietnamese female spouses and their Taiwanese family members. This thesis thus tries to bridge the research gap by studying real-life face-to-face interaction in such transnational families with special attention to identifying the interactional relevance and consequentiality of membership categories invoked by the family members and how Taiwanese and Mandarin are used as interactional resources in familial discourse. This study engaged 3 Vietnamese wives in Taiwan along with 14 Taiwanese family members whose mealtime talks were audio-/video‐recorded. Conversation analysis (CA) and membership categorisation analysis (MCA) were adopted to analyse the 7 hours of data collected. It was found (from the corpus of recordings) that a Vietnamese spouse’s deployment of the membership categories ‘Taiwanese’ and ‘Vietnamese’ relates to her use of first-person plural pronouns to form the (literally translated) ‘we + country’ compound. The compound is found to be a distinctive identity-related device used by the Vietnamese participants to engage in self-categorisation. Moreover, it is also an epistemics-related device used by the Vietanamese spouses to ascribe authority or expertise to themselves or their Taiwanese family members in the enactment of 'Vietnamese' or 'Taiwanese'. On the other hand, it was found that the Vietnamese participants orient to Taiwanese and Mandarin as salient resources in Admonishment sequences. Specifically, the two languages serve as contextualisation cues and framing devices in 3 different types of Admonishment sequences. It is identified that familyhood can be achieved in an Admonishment context, in which language varieties are used by adult family members to facilitate their alignment with each other in educating the youngest generation. The research findings suggest that the Vietnamese female spouses can fabricate interactional resources into devices to actively engage in familial communicative events and fulfil their responsibilities as a family member and as a mother. From the discursive construction of national and household identity categories, the Vietnamese spouses have demonstrated how they manage identity work and position themselves in the family; on the other hand, the way that participants negotiate national identities in family discourse have made salient the transnationality pertaining to the families. The study therefore contributes to enriching the understanding of Vietnamese female spouses in Taiwan from a conversation and membership categorisation analytic perspective, and the research findings serve as a reference point for research on cross-border marriage, cross-border couples and interactional patterns in transnational families

The human intellect, divine revelation and knowledge based on Al-Qaradowi's work: al-'Aql wa al-'Ilm fi al-Qur'an al-Karim
Kulliyyah of Science IIUM, 2011Co-Authors: Hassan, Mohd. KamalAbstract:While reaffirming the supremacy of Divine revelation, al-QaraÌÉwÊ explains that the sound human intellect has been entrusted by Divine revelation to play crucial roles in the confirmation of revealed truths and the development of all fields of human knowledge necessary for effective and wholesome human vicegerency on earth. There should not be, however, any conflict between revelation and reason. A fuller exposition of this epistemological dimension of the Islamic worldview is given in his book al-ÑAql wa al-ÑIlm fi al-Qur’Én al-KarÊm which was published in 1996. The importance of the use of the human intellect for thinking, reflection, understanding, knowing, pondering and contemplation is reflected by the Qur’Énic use of several verbs which convey the aforementioned functions. The verb Ñaqala (to use one’s intelligence, to comprehend, to understand, to think) is used in its present tense (second person plural, masculine and third person plural masculine) – taÑqilËn and yaÑqilËn – 46 times in the Qur’Én while the verbs Ñaqala, naÑqilu and yaÑqilu occur once each. The expression “afalÉ taÑqilËn” (Will you not understand? Or Have you then no sense?) occurs 13 times. The expression is used to convey AllÉh’s exhortation or Admonishment to human beings for having double standards (Q. Al-Baqarah 2: 44); for neglecting the Hereafter and being deceived by worldly pleasures despite knowing God’s Scripture (Q. Al-AnÑÉm 6: 32, Q. Al-‘A’rÉf 7: 169, Q. YËsuf 12: 109); for ignoring the message of the Qur’Én (Q. Al-anbiyÉ’ 21: 10); for not understanding the powers of AllÉh (S.W.T) in giving life and causing death (Q. Al-Mu’minËn 23: 80); for not realizing that the false gods worshipped by human beings could not bring benefit nor harm them (Q. Al-AnbiyÉ 21: 63-67). In these verses the Qur’Én reprimands human failure to use the God-given intellect to strengthen true religious faith
