Abstract
My aim is to examine how co-participants in news interviews simultaneously use membership categories as a resource and use them for constructing and negotiating identities when they engage in taking stances. I draw on a combination of conversation analysis and a “theory of stance.” This approach views stance taking as an intersubjective activity, rather than as an expression of an individual or personal stance. It is shown that often when speakers take stances they recycle the language by their co-participants. From this vantage point, I look at two examples from Crossfire (CNN) and show, on the one hand, how identity work becomes manifest in the interlocutors’ actions and turn-taking and, on the other hand, how they negotiate and constitute identities for non-present third parties in talk-in-interaction.
