Sad to hear that Deborah Cameron has passed (at a rather young age at that). She was highly influential in the field of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis, and was one of the first people I read early on who helped draw attention to criticality in discourse. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

When we ask for something big—time, effort, money—do we hedge against rejection or assume success? With @gio-rossi.bsky.social & Tanya Stivers, we find that people are incurably optimistic, even though big requests often meet resistance. Published open access in @socquarterly.bsky.social. #EMCA

My favorite part about being a discourse analyst is exactly this. It's nice to have labels for things we notice but can't quite pinpoint...and then feel validated that it's not just me overthinking but an actual 'thing' that has been documented as happening routinely.
