description | The present article aims to investigate how identity occurs dialogically –
and not only – in social interaction, with personal and social identity
overlapping and influencing each other, and the social actors transacting
themselves based on their external cues. Identity negotiation, concept that stays
at the core of our study, looks at the ways in which, starting from a specific
agenda and precise goals, individuals engage in the creation of mutual
identities, while also attempting to put on a favourable self-presentation for
their interlocutors. The theoretical framework underpinning the research is set
by the sociolinguistic paradigm, and the major importance attributed to
language in the identity negotiation process is demonstrated in the second part
of our research. The contribution concludes with some tentative observations
and directions for further research. |
