Abstract:

Though positioning has been addressed in social psychology and in identity
construction, less attention has been paid to the specific linguistic markers
which are drawn upon in discourse to position the self and other(s). This
volume focusses on address terms, pragmatic markers, code switching/choice and
orthography, the indexicalities of which are explored in different
communicative activities. 

The volume is unusual in: i) the range of languages which are covered:
Bergamasco, Brazilian Portuguese, English, Finnish, French, Georgian, Greek,
Italian, Latin, Russian, Spanish and Swedish; ii) the inclusion of different
communicative settings and text-types: workplace emails, everyday and
institutional conversations, interviews, migrant narratives, radio phone-ins,
dyadic and group settings, road-signs, service encounters; iii) its
consideration of both synchronic and diachronic factors; iv) its mix of
theoretical and methodological approaches.

The volume illustrates some of the linguistic means speakers draw on to
position themselves and others and hopes to stimulate further research studies
in this vein.
