Abstract
This study involves an in-depth analysis of a sociolinguistic interview between the researcher and a college
student in his junior year, herein named “Alex”. Within the entirety of the transcription, I conducted a detailed investigation of
the interviewee’s linguistic features and strategies. He attempted to achieve several communicative goals, such as streamlining
the conversation by utilizing stance taking, communication accommodation, language crossing and code switching. In this paper, I
elaborate on the specific linguistic strategies he used to take a stance and construct his identity through narrative.
Specifically, he created the identity of a motivated, intelligent yet humble foreign language learner.
期刊介绍:
In our post-Cartesian times human abilities are regarded as integrated and interacting abilities. Speaking, thinking, perceiving, having emotions need to be studied in interaction. Integration and interaction take place in dialogue. Scholars are called upon to go beyond reductive methods of abstraction and division and to take up the challenge of coming to terms with the complex whole. The conclusions drawn from reasoning about human behaviour in the humanities and social sciences have finally been proven by experiments in the natural sciences, especially neurology and sociobiology. What happens in the black box, can now, at least in part, be made visible. The journal intends to be an explicitly interdisciplinary journal reaching out to any discipline dealing with human abilities on the basis of consilience or the unity of knowledge. It is the challenge of post-Cartesian science to tackle the issue of how body, mind and language are interconnected and dialogically put to action. The journal invites papers which deal with ‘language and dialogue’ as an integrated whole in different languages and cultures and in different areas: everyday, institutional and literary, in theory and in practice, in business, in court, in the media, in politics and academia. In particular the humanities and social sciences are addressed: linguistics, literary studies, pragmatics, dialogue analysis, communication and cultural studies, applied linguistics, business studies, media studies, studies of language and the law, philosophy, psychology, cognitive sciences, sociology, anthropology and others. The journal Language and Dialogue is a peer reviewed journal and associated with the book series Dialogue Studies, edited by Edda Weigand.
