Abstract

Drawing from literature on language and interlanguage pragmatics as well as education and business, this conceptual paper presents the current realities in second language learning and instruction and argues for the need to align collegiate second language acquisition curricula that emphasize linguistic and pragmatic competence. Such revision is consistent with the need to prepare college students to meet the critical demands of multi-context communication, which necessitates a deliberate teaching of pragmatic competence.  More than the typical cognitive and technical skills, both local and global job markets need wide-ranging sets of communication-related competences as these affect meaning-making and quality of relationships, particularly in the workplace. Acquisition or enhancement of these skills paves the way for career, business, and life success. Said competencies also highlight the value of social or sociocultural skills as well as internal attributes that are critical in fostering healthy relationships and fruitful interaction. Both sets of skills speak of a person’s appropriateness in terms of use of pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic resources and norms in communication, in addition to the aptness of understanding of linguistic and non-linguistic codes. Ultimately, these skills all boil down to pragmatic competence, which is needed in a balanced second language teaching approach.

Abstract

In this cyberethnography and computer-mediated discourse analysis, I explored the common digital deathscapes on Facebook and how they (re)configure death and mourning in the absence of rituals in physical spaces. I also investigated social realities, worldviews, and identities constructed by the virtual semiotic resources. Results of the transdisciplinary investigation illustrate that digital mourners resort to seven repertoires of semiotic digital deathscapes, with candles and text being the most prevalent. Avoidance of death discourse emerged as a common social reality, and belief in God and the afterlife constitute the grievers’ worldviews. In terms of computer-mediated communication, two interesting impressions were uncovered. First, Facebook appears to be a platform for women, as seen in their predilection for social media engagement and virtual mourning. Conversely, men are less engaged in virtual mourning. The results highlight gender-based differences in digital grief expressions. Additionally, they underscore the prominent role of women in emotionally charged social and family events such as death and memorialization. Findings have theoretical implications on semiotics and critical discourse analysis in the context of digital mourning while also offering rare Facebook data on the subject.
