Focusing on political interviews in the Flemish current-affairs programme <em>Terzake</em>, the study applies this analytical framework to examine journalistic stance-taking in different contexts, based on the topic of the interview and the role of the interviewee. The findings indicate that while journalistic stance-taking is standard practice across contexts, specific differences emerge at finer linguistic levels (cf. grammatical question types). The topic of the interview is found to be a more important factor in the likelihood of interviewers expressing stance than the role of the interviewee. We link this to the different intents (i.e., exploration, systematisation, or explanation) that interviews can have, which influence the dynamics of the question-answer exchange and, hence, how active a role the interviewer might take within that exchange. Finally, the study emphasises the usefulness of combining a grammatical and a discursive analysis of interviewer questions, as the specific ‘design’ of questions (i.e., their grammatical form and function) can point to subtly different ways in which interviewers position themselves vis-à-vis interviewees that may be glossed over at the discursive level of linguistic analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"99 ","pages":"Pages 212-228"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142593271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emerging field of <em>trans linguistics</em> has built upon insights from <em>queer linguistics</em> and challenged the idea that there must be a one-to-one correspondence between linguistic variants and gender identities. Studies of transgender speakers have illuminated that indexing gender is a process of <em>bricolage</em>, where multiple variables collaborate, and only one needs to index gender in a particular way for the speaker's overall semiotic construction to carry that gendered meaning. Here, I investigate <em>cross-modal bricolage</em>, by exploring how visual gender presentation and three different linguistic variables come together to construct contrasting feminine styles among San Francisco drag queens. Linguistic patterns and aesthetic choices illuminate that bricolage involves a <em>semiotic division of labor</em>, in which only some signs (or modalities) need to index gender to give the overall style that gendered meaning. Concurrently, other signs can contribute qualia to a style's overall <em>qualic cloud</em>, that distinguish the style from others in the semiotic landscape. This exploration illuminates the role of the body in conditioning the indexical potential of linguistic signs, destabilizes monolithic essentializations of trans linguistic practice, and acknowledges the varied ways that gender non-normative identity can manifest across communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"99 ","pages":"Pages 107-128"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142426239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
