Abstract

This paper investigates knowledge management in interaction and the role of epistemic stance in place identity construction. We examine how a US expat in Toronto negotiates her New Yorker identity in conversation with two Canadians by demonstrating how authoritative epistemic stances are employed to produce relations of distinction, adequation, and authentication in service of place identity construction. We also discuss ‘epistemic disputes’, wherein epistemic stances and claims to place identity are challenged through the notion of epistemic rights. In doing so, we argue for the fundamental connection between information state, management of knowledge in interaction, and processes of identity construction.

主张与争议：关于地方身份的认识论谈判

本文研究了互动中的知识管理以及认识论立场在地方身份构建中的作用。我们研究了一位在多伦多的美国外籍人士如何在与两位加拿大人的对话中协商她的纽约人身份，展示了权威性的认识论立场是如何被用来产生区别、适当性和认证关系以服务于地方身份建构的。我们还讨论了 "认识论争议"，在这种争议中，认识论立场和对地方身份的主张通过认识论权利的概念受到质疑。在此过程中，我们论证了信息状态、互动中的知识管理和身份构建过程之间的基本联系。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
