Stance in narration: finding structure in complex sociolinguistic variation

Abstract: Stancetaking is a complex linguistic practice at the levels of both function and form, and as such is difficult to analyze in a narrow variable context. Instead of treating stance as a linguistic variable in the variationist sense, we analyze how participants use different types and forms of stancetaking in a specific speech event, the re-narration of a story. A combined view of the range of different options used by speakers allows us to describe similarities and differences among them as well as to identify two groups with distinct stance styles. At the methodological level, the contribution demonstrates the utility of cluster analysis for research on linguistic style
