Encounters between people of diverse religious faiths and
worldviews are becoming more common in an increasingly globalized
and mobile world. Research has not, however, kept pace by
investigating how people talk about their faith with others who
believe differently. This monograph addresses that deficit by
taking an emergent path, combining qualitative and quantitative
analysis to investigate and understand multilingual speakers'
discursive behaviors in multiparty interreligious dialogues. Using
33 hours of recordings from conversations across seven research
sites, Sauer Bredvik investigates how speakers' multilanguaging
practices interact with other indexical and referential signs
(unfilled pauses, disfluency, pragmatic markers) to affect how
constitute messages are understood. By combining corpus-assisted
discourse analysis with emic data taken from observation and 11
hours of participant interviews, one is able to identify distinct
patterns of use between these metalinguistic indicators and a
dialogue outcome. Readers will gain an understanding of how people
of various linguistic and faith backgrounds use all their semiotic
resources to display hospitality and respect for the Other in
multilingual, multifaith settings.
