Hoey, Elliott M., Hömke, Paul, Löfgren, Emma et al. (3 more authors) (2021) Using expletive insertion to pursue and sanction in interaction. Journal of Sociolinguistics. pp. 3-25. ISSN 1467-9841
Abstract
This article uses conversation analysis to examine constructions like who the fuck is that—sequence-initiating actions into which an expletive like the fuck has been inserted. We describe how this turn-constructional practice fits into and constitutes a recurrent sequence of escalating actions. In this sequence, it is used to pursue an adequate response after an inadequate one was given, and sanction the recipient for that inadequate response. Our analysis contributes to sociolinguistic studies of swearing by offering an account of swearing as a resource for social action.
