Stance-Taking and Temporality: Stance Taking in Talks in European Parliament
Journal Title: Mersin Üniversitesi Dil ve Edebiyat Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study which extends its analysis beyond the stance triangle as “the minimum structure of stance as dialogic action” (Du Bois, 2007, s. 174) depends on the stance-taking model of Du Bois (2007). The study also exemplifies the dynamic aspect of stance-taking in mutual interactions. At this context, it explores the temporal and interpersonal transformations of stance object in addition to the shifts in stance alignments in large interactional sequences. The study focuses on the ‘natural’ interactional parliamentary talks especially to the question-answer transitions. The data of the study comprises of 273 Blue-card questions taken from the discussions of the opening session of 2011 in which the European Debt Crisis was settled but still being discussed. The present study which describes the stance-taking model put forward by Du Bois will bring an explanation in terms of temporality to the stance-taking in the interaction of long turn sequences. In the analysis, the dynamic and interpersonal transformations of stance object which are produced by parliamentary members by manipulating the utterances of the ‘others’ will be demonstrated.
