Abstracts

Léon Ruffer: When the Homophobe Goes “I love you, baby Joe” – A stylistics approach to vocative norms and deviations

Despite being a highly salient feature of everyday conversations, vocatives have been surprisingly neglected by linguistic literature. A closer look at this grammatical phenomenon, however, reveals how important they are to establish social relationships and even construe meaning by, for example, emphasising or contradicting with the illocutionary force of the utterance they accompany.

In this talk, I will address what linguistics has done with the vocative to give everyone a rough overview of the current state of research and a clearer image of what a vocative actually is. Then, I will present my analysis of vocatives in Tony Kushner’s contemporary drama “Angels in America”, where every character has a vocative norm (i.e. a usual way of addressing another character), which they tend to break in moments of what could be called “literary importance”. Or, to put it differently, I will explain what it means for a clearly homophobic character to say to another man “I love you, baby Joe”.

Hopefully, after this talk, listeners will have a greater appreciation of the importance of vocatives and how they can be used for literary analysis or, of course, for the analysis of everyday conversation.
