Although there is a large literature on referentiality, going back to at least the nineteenth and early twentieth century, much of this early work is based on constructed data and most of it is on English. The chapters in this volume contribute to a growing body of work that examines referentiality through naturalistic data in context. Taking an interactional approach to (non)referentiality, contributors to this volume ask how participants talk in real time about persons and things as individuals or as categories, and what distinguishes ‘referential’ from ‘nonreferential’, ‘specific’ from ‘nonspecific’, and ‘generic’ from ‘nongeneric’.

1938. Hitler's expansionist policies are arousing both anger and admiration, not least in Helsinki's Wednesday Club. The members of this relaxed gentleman's club are old friends of lawyer Claes Thune. But this year it is apparent that the political unrest in Europe is having an effect on the cohesion of the group. Thune has recently divorced and is at something of a loss, running his law practice with no great enthusiasm. Luckily he has the assistance of an efficient new secretary, Matilda Wiik. But behind her polished exterior Mrs Wiik is tormented by memories of the Finnish Civil War, when she experienced horrors she has been trying to forget ever since. And one evening, with the Wednesday Club gathered in Thune's office, she hears a voice she hoped she would never hear again. She is suddenly plunged back into the past. But this time she is no longer a helpless victim . . .
Virsin Lauluin Psalttarein -kirja kertoo Krankin ja Durchmanin toisiinsa liittyvän sukupiirin uskonnollisuudesta, elämästä ja hengellisen musiikin perinnöstä. Kivijärven kirkkoherra Frans Petter Krank oli tunnettu pappi ja virsisäveltäjä. Hänen puolisonsa ja serkkunsa Maria Elisabet Krank (s. Durchman) oli kulttuurihistoriasta tunnetun Ruoveden kirkkoherra Josef Wilhelm Durchmanin tytär. Josef Wilhelm Durchman oli mm. Elias Lönnrotin työtoveri ja kulttuurisuvun kantaisä. Toiminta musiikin alalla tulee esille jo 1700-luvulla. Sukupiirin useat papit joutuvat kansasta nousevan herätyskristillisyyden vuoksi erotetuksi tai itse eroamaan viroistaan ja tuomituksi mm. Kalajoen käräjillä tai lestadiolaisuutta koskevien harhaoppisyytösten vuoksi. Vaikeudet näyttävät koituvan siunaukseksi erityisesti hengellisen musiikin luomisessa ja tallentamisessa. Sukupiirin elämää on leimannut voimakas aatteellisuus: suomalaisuusaate, kristillisisänmaallinen henki ja kansan vähäosaisten auttaminen. Kirja esittelee useita kulttuuri- ja yhteiskuntaelämässä tunnettuja henkilöitä nykypäiviin saakka. Mukana on myös kuvausta elämästä Pohjois-Amerikassa.
