| description | Once considered an essentially reactive phenomenon, stylistic variation is now viewed as a distinct verbal strategy. Recent sociolinguistic research has regarded style as a favored means of self-presentation that is closely linked to the speaker’s identity representations and the way in which they reconfigure these over time or according to specific interactions. The present study is based on a corpus of 60 hours of “ecological” recordings of 8-year-old French-speaking girls from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our objective was to build a better understanding of the link between style and identity by combining a qualitative study of examples of "style shift" with a quantitative analysis of the use of two discourse markers with different types of interlocutor. |
