Close-recurrence analysis
A foundational aspect of social interaction is the phenomenon of joint attention, typically defined as a shared focus between two or more interlocutors on a particular subject, object or event. While joint attention research in the fields of Cognitive Linguistics and psycholinguistics has predominantly relied on task-based interactions in static environments, studies in the tradition of Interactional Linguistics and Conversation Analysis have foc…
Indexing traditional and modern professional values
Traditional professional values are complemented by more modern ones in the “New Work Order”-context, roughly marking a shift from hierarchy to (seeming) egalitarianism and from formality to informality. We investigate the pragmatic uses of T/V-pronouns in job interviews in relation to this transformation. More particularly, we zoom in on the Flemish case, which is especially rich, given that next to V-forms, there is a double-barreled T-system w…
Language tester identity in policy contexts
Increasingly scholars are calling for language test developers and researchers to intervene in policy due to the recognized socio-political use of language tests and the potential ethical issues at stake when tests are used to enforce government policies. Research has shown that policy spaces may be highly demarcated with diverse expectations, stereotypes, and power dynamics. Language experts are just one voice amid an array of actors and interes…
Rapport-building attempts in technology-mediated job interviews during the Covid-19 crisis
The COVID-19 situation has turned job interview practices upside down: while it was common to organize face-to-face job interviews, there is now a surge in technology-mediated job interviews (TMJIs). This shift to a digital medium self-evidently affects these interactions and earlier research has indeed drawn attention to the – often negative – impact of technology on interactions. For job interviews in particular, the tendency for shorter “rappo…
Daily experiences of ethnic minority women at work
At work, members of negatively stereotyped groups often use coping mechanisms to deal with identity-based threat, such as moving toward or away from ingroups or outgroups. We investigate whether these coping mechanisms are related to fulfillment of or costs for key identity motives for wellbeing and motivation, namely belonging, self-efficacy, self-esteem, perceived control, and optimal distinctiveness. As such, this study provides an overarching…
Disagreement in Chinese blue-collar workplace small talk
Emancipatory Potential of Naming
To address interactionally troublesome exchanges (e.g., bullying, discrimination, or harassment) in the workplace, giving a name to negative personal experiences is crucial. Drawing on discussions of hermeneutical injustice, we explore the emancipatory potential of naming in post‐hoc tellings of these experiences, with particular attention to accountability and face‐work in naming practices. Our analysis of interviews with church employees illust…
Negotiating leader identities through indirect mockery in talk about decision-making in a distributed leadership context
In this article, we scrutinise how humour, and in particular, indirect mockery contributes to the construction of leader identities in talk about decision-making in an organisation characterized by a distributed leadership context. So rather than focusing on decision-making episodes themselves, we tease out an aspect of the goal achievement side of the leadership influence process. Through multimodal discourse analysis, we focus on episodes in wh…
A different perspective on epistemics and deontics
Thus far, few studies have investigated the evaluative points narrators may convey through the sequential features of reported exchanges in their stories. In this article, we conduct a micro-oriented narrative analysis on how epistemic and deontic status-stance relations are depicted by narrators in sequences of reported turns. We thus uncover how hierarchies and potential transgressions between the characters in the storyworld are “shown” rather…
Identity gatekeeping in New Work Order organizations
While much has been written on the transition of organizational life into the New Work Order (NWO) and the effects this has had on employees in language-centered economic spaces, few studies have attempted to tease out how these NWO-expectations have affected less language-centered workplaces. In this article, I focus on such a workplace, namely a medical lab, and I tease out processes of what I call ‘identity gatekeeping’. With this term I refer…
Emotion in multivarietal family language policy in Flanders
Aims: This study on Belgian Dutch caregivers aims to complement research on multilingual family language planning with a multivarietal perspective. As transitions between varieties are often more gradual, it is revealing to study which emotions surface in caregivers’ reflection on these varieties. The Belgian Dutch case is selected given its historically highly emotional macro-level language debate, its exoglossic norm and its transition from dig…
Leadership style in transition? Decision-making processes in cabin crew's pre-flight briefings
Negotiating identities in stories of anti-Chinese racism during the Covid-19 pandemic
Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, there has been an upsurge of anti-Chinese racism. This paper investigates the socio-pragmatic processes through which Chinese international students in Belgium discursively deal with othering processes in the stories they tell about racist incidents during semi-structured research interviews. These processes are closely linked to various identities which are sometimes projected upon them and often …
Co-constructing identities in speeches
This paper investigates the way speakers construct their identities as representatives of their companies (institutional identity construction) in relation to the way they “project” an identity onto their audiences. The audience is “altercasted” (Weinstein and Deutschberger 1963) in the role of potential buyer of a product, thus evoking the standardized relational pair (Sacks 1972) of seller/buyer. The speaker then presents his company in the com…
The interplay between professional identities and age, gender and ethnicity introduction
The idea for this special issue originated from a panel on 'Identity in organizational settings' that was convened by Dorien Van De Mieroop and Jonathan Clifton during the 10th Convention of the Association for Business Communication (ABC) / 2nd
The discursive construction of gender, ethnicity and the workplace in second generation immigrants’ narratives the case of moroccan women in belgium
This article examines the professional identity construction of three young 2 nd generation immigrant women of Moroccan descent who have university degrees and high-skilled jobs. More specifically, I focus on how they construct this professional identity in relation to their gender and ethnicity. The data consist of interviews in which the interviewer explicitly probes for the relation between these topics. Interestingly, all the interviewees con…
Beyond dichotomies
Most research on gender in the Middle Eastern workplace treats gender identities in relation to the polarity of ‘tradition’ and ‘modernity’. Although some of these studies take a critical perspective, they largely ignore the importance of language, and therefore empirical work on this topic from a social constructionist perspective is largely lacking. This article presents the narratives related by a female Qatari professional during a research i…
Othering the expat majority
Qatar’s development is intertwined with migration, resulting in the native population forming a minority. Zooming in on the academic world, which is in the midst of reform processes, we investigate the impact of the expat majority on the identity work of Qatari female junior academics. Drawing on a narrative as social practice approach, we study ‘othering'-strategies in the stories of three interviewees. We demonstrate how their category work con…
Dual identities? Transnational identities? Psychological acculturation research in dialogue with discursive approaches to the identity work of individuals with a migration background
This article's key aim is to bring discursive insights on transnational identities together with the ‘identity strategies’-framework from psychological acculturation research. To do so, we discursively analyse the negotiation of identities in interviews of Belgian women with Turkish/Moroccan migration backgrounds. Our findings indicate that interviewees negotiate nuanced national and ethnic identities, highlighting the fluidity of identity often …
Reflecting and forging master narratives
Sociolinguistics can help us grasp how collective memory cultures are (in part) shaped by representations of historic events through varied linguistic - and other - sources (e.g. education, news media, conversations and museum displays). In this study, we specifically zoom in on the curatorial selection process of a Belgian Second World War (WWII) memorial museum, whilst simultaneously exploring the reflexive relation between this curatorial proc…
The (near) absence of English in Flemish dinner table conversations
This paper studies the low frequency of English insertions in child-directed speech in eight Flemish families, which is striking considering the strong position of English in other domains in Flanders. Crossing usage-based approaches to language acquisition and language socialization research, we scrutinize our corpus of dinner table conversations that consist of over 25,000 utterances, complemented by sociolinguistic interviews with the caregive…
Narratives as social practice in organisational contexts
Organizational studies, as a discipline, has displayed a strong interest in the use of narrative analysis to investigate issues of concern to scholars, such as those around sense-making, communication, politics and power, learning and change, as well as identity and identification However, much, though of course not all, of this research has tended to focus on 'big' storiesi.e., "those derived from interviews, clinical encounters, autobiographica…
Epistemic competitions over Jewish Holocaust survivors’ stories in interviews
In this article, we scrutinise epistemic competitions in interviews about World War II. In particular, we analyse how the interlocutors draw on their epistemic authority concerning WWII to construct their interactional telling rights. On the one hand, the analyses illustrate how the interviewers rely on their historical expert status – as evidenced through their specialist knowledge and ventriloquisation of vicarious WWII narratives – in order to…
A multimodal analysis of foreign national origin membership categories in Belgian blue collar job interviews with first generation immigrants
We investigate the use of foreign national origin membership categories in four authentic, Dutch-spoken job interviews with first generation immigrants in Belgium applying for blue collar jobs. We draw on Membership Categorization Analysis and use a multimodal, micro-oriented approach. As such, we aim to uncover the many, often subtle, verbal and non-verbal ways in which these national origin categories are negotiated interactionally. Our finding…
The Narrative Dimensions Model and an exploration of various narrative genres
In the last few decades, the analytical scope of narrative studies has widened from a sole focus on “prototypical” narratives of personal experience to a wide variety of narrative genres. However interesting this may be, there are also some problems with these genres as there is not only sometimes considerable overlap between different genres, but there are also differences within these genres. Furthermore, real-life stories often consist of a mi…
Investigating the interplay between formal and informal leaders in a shared leadership configuration
Leader identity has traditionally been associated with hierarchical position (formal leadership). Yet, while there is an increasing tendency to regard leadership as a collective and distributed process, very little is known about the interplay of formal and informal leadership as in situ social practice within a hierarchical context. Using video-recordings of naturally occurring workplace interaction as data and arguing that insights from applied…

Candidates' humour and the construction of co-membership in job interviews
Identity negotiations in narrative accounts about poverty
Focusing on three interviews with people who were in debt and participated in the collective debt mediation program of the Belgian social services, I study the way these interviewees negotiate their identities. In spite of the diversity of their stories, which were framed as accounts, all interviewees shift the blame for their current situation and put forward their membership of an alternative category, namely that of the responsible parent. As …

Negotiating meaning and co-constructing institutionalisable answers
The quotative ‘he/she says’ in interpreted doctor–patient interaction
This article examines the different functions of the quotative ‘he/she says’ in an interpreter’s renderings during four medical interviews (Dutch/Russian). First, the quotative is typically used for renderings of doctors’ turns, where it serves to signal a switch in the participation framework and to segment long discourse units by the doctor. Second, in some renderings of the patients’ turns, the quotative also has a disambiguating function, cla…
Enacting Power Asymmetries in Reported Exchanges in the Narratives of Former Slaves
Direct reported speech has been described as serving many functions in stories, such as increasing vividness, creating authenticity, and enhancing audience involvement. Drawing on Bamberg's model of positioning and focusing on reported exchanges, we argue that through its “constructed sequentiality” and its use of discourse strategies, direct reported speech also enacts power relations as they are constructed between the story characters in the r…
A deontic perspective on the collaborative, multimodal accomplishment of leadership
This article makes a case for investigating leadership from a micro-interactional perspective which integrates discursive, sequential and multimodal analytical layers. It thus builds on existing discursive leadership research by demonstrating that leadership is not achieved only through talk, but by means of a complex interplay between verbal and non-verbal resources. Focusing on video-recordings of authentic meetings, I investigate the interacti…
Negotiating discursive norms
In spite of the theoretically clearly defined task of an interpreter to translate only what was said by the other interlocutors, naturally occurring data taken from interpreted interactions show quite a different picture, as many previous studies have already indicated. The discursive norms to which an interpreter orients in reality are interactionally negotiated, rather than prediscursively determined. This article analyses these norms as intera…
Doing’ ethos—A discursive approach to the strategic deployment and negotiation of identities in meetings
The influence of the interviewing style and the historical context on positioning shifts in the narrative of a Second World War Resistance member1
This article involves a study of the narrative of a Second World War Resistance member by means of an interview in which the interviewer explicitly inserts the historical context by selecting the topics for discussion and asking critical questions. The interview deals with three periods: the Wartime period; the First Wave of Reprisals; and the Second Wave of Reprisals. The analyses show that the interviewee's first and second-level positionings s…
The complementarity of two identities and two approaches
An integrated approach of quantitative and qualitative analysis in the study of identity in speeches
Identity is usually analysed by focusing on a single case and scrutinizing relevant text fragments. This approach rules out the possibility of doing research on larger corpora, such as my corpus of 40 speeches. To this end, an integrated approach of both quantitative and qualitative analysis is proposed here. For the quantitative method, pronouns were selected as markers of the three main types of identity in my corpus, namely that of the speaker…
The interactional negotiation of group membership and ethnicity
We examine the way group membership and its relation with ethnicity is interactionally constructed in an interview between an interviewer who presents himself as favorable towards black music and black people and an interviewee who is a former slave. The interview, which took place in the 1940s Deep South in a context in which racial inequality was still institutionally embedded, focused both on the interviewee’s memories of slave life and on cur…

Co-Constructing Colonial Dichotomies in Female Former Colonizers' Narratives of theBelgianCongo
Focusing on interviews with female former colonials in theBelgianCongo, we analyze the ways in which the interviewees co-construct and negotiate their identities in relation to master narratives of colonization in their interactions with the interviewer, who is also a former colonial. We focus mainly on stories of the household and family life, since the colonial household is typically a locus of encounters between the white female colonizers and…
Standardized relational pairs in interviews with former slaves
We investigate the use of standardized relational pairs (SRPs) and the way narrators align with these in two interviews with former slaves which were conducted in the 1940s. In particular, we look at stories in which slaves are compared to animals, thus not only invoking the SRP master/slave, but also the SRP owner/property. On the one hand, the interviewees negotiate their alignment with the ‘slave-property’-part of the SRP depending on the type…
Negotiating Identities in the Context of Social Work Goals
We discuss the implications of identities constructed by an Afghan client in a conversation with her Dutch social worker. In this institutional interaction, the professional's dominant position is both underlined and mitigated, and there is room for topic initiation by the client as well. We singled out 2 crucial client identities that appear to produce diverging interpretations: (a) the fearful woman and (b) the shameful woman. The former is dis…
Implicit and explicit identity constructions in the life story of one of Hitler's elite soldiers
We study the life story of a former SS Leibstandarte soldier and we focus on the way the narrator deals with face threats by negotiating his identity constructions. The interviewee positions himself as a sportsman and an ignorant soldier, thus constructing denial of knowledge of and agreement with Hitler's ideology. These identities can be considered to be complementary, but they are built in quite different ways: the narrator explicitly presents…
Catching identities in flight
We present a case study of a small talk sequence in a Belgian workplace between two female colleagues with a migration background, in which they share stories with each other on racial micro-aggressions they personally experienced. We draw on the social practice approach and focus on the narrators’ identity work in this interaction. We found that the narrators construct stories in which powerless and outgroup identities are projected upon them in…
Adjusting to new “truths”
In this article, we study the diachronic (re)construction of repeated WWII-testimonies. Specifically, we scrutinize how shifting master narratives in the social context may affect how stories are told in a particular time and place. We selected testimonies by two Belgian concentration camp survivors – one Flemish and one Walloon – who both wrote down their story twice, namely in 1946 and 1985. By comparing the “same” diachronically dispersed stor…
A good story or a good identity
Big stories are typically characterized by a high degree of reflexivity, which results in the construction of a fairly coherent — or even “rehearsed” — identity that is acceptable from a contemporary viewpoint. This article focuses on the life story of a former SS Leibstandarte soldier elicited by means of an interview. Most of the analysis confirms this idea of the construction of a “rehearsed” self, since the narrator consistently presents hims…

A rehearsed self in repeated narratives? The case of two interviews with a former hooligan
This article investigates the identity constructions of a former hooligan in two repeated narratives, obtained through interviews with a time lapse of six years. In both narratives, the interviewee constructs a similar heroic identity and opposes it to other categories such as cowards and followers. However, when relating how he became a hooligan, the interviewee presents himself as a follower. This contradiction with the heroic identity shows hi…

Maneuvering between the individual and the social dimensions of narratives in a poor man’s discursive negotiation of stigma
In current Western consumer societies, the poor are excluded and occupy stigmatized positions. By analyzing an interview with a poor man, I look at how stigma is discursively negotiated through the interplay between individual and social dimensions of narratives. First, the interviewee resists the interviewer’s ‘poor man’-category projection by setting up alternative groups. Second, he invokes and aligns with dominant discourses regarding the nec…

Positioning oneself in relation to larger collectivities in expatriates’ workplace narratives
This article aims to explore narratives as sites for identity construction by employing the concept of positioning to analyse some of the discursive processes through which identity construction is accomplished in institutional contexts. Our specific foci are i) the ways in which individuals position themselves in relation to larger collectivities in their narratives about being expatriates living and working in Hong Kong, and ii) how they constr…
Negotiating meaning and co-constructing institutionalisable answers
The discursive management of identity in interviews with female former colonials of the Belgian Congo
Whilst interviews are often regarded as an essential tool for social science, it has long been recognized that the interviewer has a formative role in the locally situated socio-communicative events that interviews are. Using transcripts of interviews elicited from female former colonials in the Belgian Congo, this article examines the way in which the interviewer, himself a former colonial, manages the construction of meaning and identity in rel…
The interactional history of examples and parentheses
In this article, we set out to examine how participants organize their note-taking while engaged in multiparty interaction. We first describe the collective display of affiliation as an interactional practice that allows note-takers to identify recordables and to legitimize their writing. We then focus on the use of examples ( e.g. ) and parentheses in the written notes. While style guides recommend the use of examples and parentheses to indicate…
Small talk in interpreted interactions in a medical setting
Even though the importance of small talk in institutional interactions has been extensively demonstrated in sociolinguistic studies, it has never been the object of analysis in interpreted interactions. Given the interpreters' theoretically prescribed role as animator in such interactions, it is particularly interesting to investigate how interpreters deal with small talk, while this type of talk may also offer important opportunities to clients …
Identity navigation, story evaluation and recipient identification in The Graham Norton Show ’s “Red Chair stories”
For the evaluation of a story, story recipients rely on a narrator’s identity work. Uniquely, these related processes of identity work and story evaluation unfold explicitly in the Red Chair segment of The Graham Norton Show , where “bad” stories are rejected by flipping the narrator out of a red chair, and narrators of “good” stories may walk away from the chair. We collected every Red Chair story broadcast in 2013 and analyzed these by drawing …

The multimodal enactment of deontic and epistemic authority in Indian meetings
Authority is a much discussed topic in organizational literature, but its in situ enactment is little investigated. Using the notions of deontic and epistemic authority and using multimodal conversation analysis as a research methodology, the purpose of this paper is to provide an empirical study of authority-in-action. We particularly focus on both sequences of talk and the multimodal resources that are mobilised to ‘do’ authority. Furthermore, …
