The project will investigate communication of difficult emotions including fear and distress in the context of terminal illness. I will examine an existing corpus of video-recordings of hospice consultations involving patients with life limiting illness, their companions, and healthcare practitioners (HCPs: palliative medicine doctors, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists). Prior work shows these parties can treat communication of emotional matters with equivocality regarding whether and how they should be a focus and marked sensitivity; one way of doing so is to hint at the presence of an emotional concern. Emotions relating to one's death are amongst the most difficult to experience and communicate about. In this project, the focus will be on when patients make moves that can initiate such communication. This will contribute to social-scientific understandings of how people negotiate whether and how difficult emotions are talked about, building on and adding to prior research in this area (Bericat, 2015; Peräkylä and Sorjonen 2012). The methodology of this project is conversation analysis (CA). CA is a rigorous approach to the systematic study of how people socially interact through talk. It is widely applied to studying of how practitioners and patients interact in healthcare services. The strength of CA is its capacity to characterise in detail how people implement social actions through talk and other communicative resources (e.g., the non-verbal). CA provides empirically grounded insights into the ways in which participants' actions reflect and are shaped by broader concerns, such as orientations to social roles and relationships. The project will provide novel contributions to social scientific understandings of how people negotiate the expression of difficult emotions in their interactions. The study also has implications for applied communication research.

该项目将调查困难情绪的交流，包括在绝症的背景下恐惧和困扰。我将研究现有的临终关怀咨询视频录取库，包括生命疾病，其同伴和医疗保健从业者（HCPS：姑息医学医生，物理治疗师和职业治疗师）的患者。先前的工作表明，这些当事方可以将情感问题的交流与模棱两可的交流有关，即它们是否以及如何成为焦点和明显的敏感性；这样做的一种方法是暗示出现情感上的关注。与死亡有关的情绪是最难体验和交流的情绪。在这个项目中，重点将放在患者做出可以引发这种交流的动作时。这将有助于社会科学的理解，即人们如何谈判以及如何讨论情绪，并增加并增加了该领域的研究（Bericat，2015；Peräkylä和Sorjonen 2012）。该项目的方法是对话分析（CA）。 CA是对人们如何通过谈话进行社会互动的系统研究的一种严格方法。它广泛用于研究从业人员和患者在医疗服务中的互动方式。 CA的优势在于其详细描述人们如何通过谈话和其他交流资源（例如非语言）实施社会行为的能力。 CA对参与者的行为反映和受到更广泛的关注（例如社会角色和关系的方向）的方式进行了迫切扎根的见解。该项目将为人们如何在互动中谈判困难情绪的表达来为社会科学的理解提供新的贡献。这项研究还对应用传播研究有影响。
